Because, maybe, he isn’t a Progressive politician and he has a kind of Reaganesque appeal to the unwashed masses. The last time the Progs lost the White House, it set them back decades in their drive to destroy the middle class.
“...he [Ted Cruz] has a kind of Reaganesque appeal to the unwashed masses.”
Please elaborate on “unwashed masses”.
IMO, the “unwashed masses” are Obama voters, Ferguson rioters, the Occupy crowd, cop haters, gibsmedats, etc.
Ted Cruz appeals to those who like himself are capable of thinking for themselves & whose personal vision goes beyond self interest and towards what is best for America.
Again, that’s my opinion. And scr*w the GOP establishment!
