I call this article a mild attack piece. Just as Rob Knowles predicted in his article yesterday:

"Since there's nothing on him at this point-no skeletons in his closet, no allegations of illegality-the left has resorted to doing what they say Cruz does best: Reframe the argument... Watch for this line of argumentation being used by the left in the coming weeks and months as Cruz rises. He's calculating, scheming, obsessed with winning, desirous of power, inhuman, callous, an opportunist, and overly shrewd. They'll try to make Cruz into the most unlikable person since Richard Nixon because it's all they've got. Don't buy into it."

Is Rodham Clinton the new Tokyo Rose?

Somehow, I don’t see Cruz imposing wage & price controls, like Nixon did.

Mild attack piece? This is a sneaky deal killer. In other words, he is fakin’ it to get the nomination, then we think maybe he will be more like Bush to make us happy.

I admit these columnists and pundits are spending a lot of time being creative in their attempts to drag people down.

LOL

Unfortunately, the article says exactly what I believe with the exception of beating Hillary. He cannot do that.

Matt Lewis is a propagandist for The Cheap Labor Express.

The left never mentions the fact Nixon won 49 states in 1972.

I’m coming to despise the rhetorical trick of making a statement in the form of a question, as seen so often in headlines these days.

Is Obama Really a Homosexual Muslim Traitor?
Is Joe Biden Naturally Stupid Or Is He The Result of a Lobotomy Gone Bad?
Can Hillary Win the White House If She’s a Lesbian?
Did Climate Change “Experts” Cook the Books to Create Panic?
Will Homosexual “Marriage” Destroy the Family?

Why not just have the guts to make a statement, rather than couching it as a question?

And yes, I appreciate the irony in my question ...

I want to know how the case is being made here that Cruz is the best candidate to beat Hillary?

No real track record on anything yet he can beat Hillary.

Well someone please explain that rationale. I can’t see it.
Cruz has to get support from areas that Trump is already polling well in. I guess we will just see.

In other words they think that Cruz is just like Shrillary?

Why do Republicans always have to run a "compassionate, kinder, gentler" candidate while the Democrats can run a devious, cunning, nasty piece of work?

Enough of the Romneys, McCains, Doles and Bushes. It's time we ran somebody that the liberals fear.

Yup, the uniparty/msm received their instructions and are now carrying them out dutifully.

Well I’d never compare Cruz to Nixon. Nixon in my book was a horrible President even without the Watergate mess. I don’t believe he should’ve resigned but that aside he was a progressive Republican. Nixon was far more like Obama than Cruz in policy and demeanor.

Ted Cruz is the new Ronald Reagan.

Hillary Clinton is the new Nixon.

Cruz has a better chance of beating Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump,
LOL! They're propping up Cruz over Trump because they know Cruz can't beat Hillary...And because of blind faith you took the bait, hook, line and sinker.

Cruz’s greatest strength is that he has been the one politician to take a consistent series of principled stands against the Establishment.

This line of argument is designed to damage him with his base because the Establishment is afraid of him and they hate him. It will not work, and it must not.

If anyone’s the “Nixon” in this race (in the way that the article describes), it’s Donald Trump.

Thinking ahead what direction to take ;

FOCUS ON THE SENATE

Arguments and presentations in RINO quarters against Cruz should be expected. This is why conservatives in certain states should be focusing on Senate candidates who do believe in controlling the purse and getting the government out of our bedrooms, kitchens, backyards, churches, and schools.
\
Even if it meant resorting to defunding and government shutdowns.

And by campaigning using those issues and asking why the go along, get alongs bipartisans refused to use these tactics which should have been applied with this bunch of socialistas bent on destroying this country.

As Cruz gains support, one can smell the drive-by media’s fear.
