Cruz’s copy of Reagan’s ‘76 convention speech must be missing the last line: “We must go forth from here united, determined that what a great general said a few years ago is true: There is no substitute for victory, Mr. President.” I certainly don’t remember Cruz talking about unity or victory in the presidential race. Except for some policy overlap, he is nothing like Reagan at all.
I totally agree about Cruz’s fatal flaw of ambition. And the scariest people are sometimes those who believe that they are specially chosen by God for certain tasks or positions, because too many take it as permission to do absolutely whatever they want since they are in a “righteous” cause.
It’s pretty close to being a certifiable nut job, really. I’ve seen it before and it is not pretty.
