Amen!
Cruz just doesn’t have what it takes to break the media blockade against him right now.
I love Ted, but he's still in the seasoning process. It's going to take time for him to strengthen and grow as a politician. His power and influence in Washington will also grow over time, as will his grass roots support. Doesn't take a crystal ball to see that, but it's just not there yet.
I'd be happy to see him shift the balance of power in the Senate to the conservatives, or serve as AG to a President Trump. Four to eight years in either of those positions would prime him well for another stab at the White House.
