In the eyes of the political and media elite, presidential candidate Ted Cruz is far too extreme ideologically to win the nomination; doesn’t have enough support from party bigwigs; is hated by almost everyone and no one trusts him; uses distortive, misleading rhetoric; is venal and self-obsessed; says crazy things; is not actually very smart; and is everything that is wrong with modern politics.
In the eyes of the political and media elite, Ronald Reagan was too extreme and too simple to win the presidential nomination; a potential disaster for the GOP in the general election; an amiable dunce who was shockingly dumb and cruel; an evil man with no care and no concern for working-class Americans and future generations; cold and mean with ice water for blood; and an egotistical bore who had no friends, only cronies.
See any resemblance?
Former Reagan presidential aide Jeffrey Lord told WND, “What’s being said about Ted Cruz today was said endlessly by establishment Republicans about Ronald Reagan.”
“They were wrong then; they are wrong now,” added the associate political director in the Reagan White House.
One of the biggest criticisms has been that Cruz has so little support among those GOP elite.

Is that ed Cruz, Ted Cruz’s twin brother & fellow US Seantor?
What’s the heck is a “Seantor”? Is that a Gaelic Senator?

That’s a bad thing?

A sure WINNER !!
Even if they don't bother to research the obvious lies and mischaracterizations, shouldn't they notice the knee jerk tendency to attack with insults rather than engage intellectually?
I'd like to think that even if I were unable to discern or didn'tt care much about the importance of the issues of our day I would be suspicious of someone who so quickly resorts to playground bully tactics.
Ed Cruz, the Senator for Exas.
All right- I take it you guys are for Cott Alker?
Give ‘em ell, Ed!
No. Eb-Bush is the best epublican candidate.
Arah Palin, myself. :D
Sorry IckCarraway— no Bushes no matter what their first name. -
It was a joke.
He has been very reminiscent of Reagan and is scaring the bejeezus out of liberals. Would love to see him debate any liberal, especially a fringe lunatic one. But, any one would do. He handles gotcha questions from the MSM like a pro, and thinks on his feet with lightning speed.
Go get’em Ted!
We KNOW. And yes, it was funny! Bob
The image makeover of the former Ted Cruz has begun. *sigh*
I’d like to see him debate Boehner, McConnell, and Priebus also.
Maybe he could beat the livin’ —— out of them verbally for us.
