Not sure what speeches The Hill actually watched, but I watched almost all of them. I like Walker and his speech was fine, but by the time Ted finished, the crowd was standing in uproarious applause and looked like they would walk on hot coals to support him. Cruz is simply a tour de force in articulating a conservative vision for “reigniting the American dream”.
As you mentioned, it’s coming from ‘The Hill’ and that’s all that anyone in the know needs to know.
The Hill is a shill for establishment uniparty types. Of course they are promoting Walker because Walker is ‘pliable’.
