If the GOP had any sense, they would be pushing him like Klondike bars in August.
Yes, and he is even better than those couple paragraphs indicate.
I subscribe to the New Yorker magazine (for the same reason I watch Morning Joe—to keep track of the enemy) which not long ago carried a smarmy piece on Cruz by the Obama/media buttboy lawyer Jeffrey Toobin.
Toobin is such a loser that he gives tubesteaks a bad name...but he struggled through this long article to be hard on Cruz, essentially throwing in the towel and telling the left that they had better not underestimate him.
The aspect of the article that struck me most was how well-regarded Cruz is as a lawyer, by friend and foe, even on the Supreme Court. The piece indicated that Cruz has been invited by the Court to take part in certain cases that he wasn’t even a party to, just because they knew his arguments would be of value to their consideration.
And this high esteem was granted to him even by the leftists amongst the Supremes.
Now a great lawyer doesn’t make a great President, and to me Cruz lacks a little in the personal appeal area...but he is conservative and brilliant and he loves his country.
