All the RINOs that hated Reagan in the 70s and 80s, that would be the Bushes, Ford, McConnell and the Rockefellers and the rest of the establishment. Cruz would win a landside if he is not taken out by them!!!
Marvellous fantasy, but Reagan wouldn't have won without votes from people like that.
You may be thinking of Goldwater. He didn't win.

For the historic figure Cruz most evokes is not Churchill, but a nascent Joseph McCarthy.Ok, but McCarthy was right... What now?

Armchair psychoanalysis of political figures can be a dubious and even disreputable business.
True. So why do it?
Why attack Ted Cruz if he's only polling in the middle of the pack? Or is he? Show me the plethora of attack articles about Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio or Rick Santorum. Hint: You can't.
Cruz is the target that gets their juices flowing. He also gets their donation money flowing.
If he weren't around, somebody else would be their target. But it would be less satisfying for them.

“But one presidential candidate presents the following symptoms: feral aggression, reflexive demagoguery, self absorption, paranoia, grandiosity, disdain for social norms and an inability to cooperate with others.”
Wait, are they talking about Hillary or Obama?

The hyperbole just makes me laugh. I dearly hope they’re really terrified of Ted Cruz.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I have a sneaky feeling that Cruz is precisely where he wants to be at this stage of the election cycle. Being the frontrunner is dangerous. Middle of the pack, with stamina and strategy in mind, is much safer. Let Trump take the slings and arrows for now.
Cruz is smart. Smarter than me, smarter than a lot of other people. He has a plan and he’s working it. I think that there are a lot of people on the other side of the fence who are thinking the same thing and know he is the real threat that must be dealt with.

I’m talking about when the leadership was trying to get him out of the race.
