People who are serious about liberty are going to come out for Cruz.
Ted Cruz is something of a dilemma.
His supporters love him, they display a loyalty that borders on the sublimely divine. And to the degree this inspires them, they also go out to inspire still others.
But the widening ripples still do not seem to have the force to carry Ted Cruz much beyond New Hampshire. Oh, he shall still poll well in the other coming primaries, but this may have already been his crest, and in winner-take-all, there is still the Big Dawg off the porch and leading the way.
Then there is the opposition research that has been running day and night over at the Democrat National party basement rooms. Most of it untrue, all of it derogatory, and it will be fed out through the social media where it shall spread like a metastasizing cancer. There is no way to get ahead of this, and regardless of how feeble a candidate Herself proves to be, the great unwashed middle will still not be able to bring themselves to consider Ted Cruz. In their eyes, he is “Republican”, even though the Republican Establishment despises him nearly as thoroughly as they despise and loathe The Donald.
The thing is, not nearly that many people in the general population of voters have that much affection for liberty.
The Donald is not selling “liberty” as an abstraction or as a reality. He is in the process of kicking Political Correctness in the head, and that has the Democrats as well as the Republican Establishment completely discombobulated.
The best possible combination, when the dust is settled, is The Donald in the saddle on the white horse, and Ted Cruz riding point beside him on the pinto mustang. (The Indian horse, not the car).
Lone Ranger and Tonto.
