I did not read Slate’s spew. However, My take is there are 3 likely contenders, Cruz, Walker and Bush. The one the Left fears seems to be Walker. Its puzzling why the left is being nice to Cruz.
I would suspect The Elitists plan seems to be to dilute the field so much no one will get a large number of votes then use their vote fraud machine to swing the primary to the most GOPe candidate that is in - likely Bush.
I don’t think anyone is behind the large field. I see it as a positive that we have many contenders. I do not think Bush is viable. He is enjoying early name recognition and nothing more. Regardless, we need to treat each and every candidate fairly and with respect. We live in a republic. Let the people choose rather than the loud-mouths who try to knock some out before they have even had a chance to compete.
I think the press has been terrible to Cruz. As for who they fear, I would say it is the one that best articulates a conservative viewpoint. The press will try to do our choosing for us by promoting the least conservative candidates. We need to stop falling for that trick.
” Its puzzling why the left is being nice to Cruz.”
It’s simple really if you were not paying attention 4 years ago. the MSM leftards were nice to McCain before the nominations because they were setting him up as their man. Once the nomination was in, so was the target which made it easier for the left to go on a seek and destroy mission.
