...tell me how someone so disliked by the hierarchy of his own party can make his presidency work.

Frankly, being disliked by the Uniparty is a badge of honor where I sit. We've "hired" well-liked people with good "electability" ratings and they all turned into go-along to get-along squishes without any core principles. It only took a couple years for most of them to forget why they were sent to Washington and who they work for. Frankly, I think the Cruz "dislike" factor is blown all out of proportion. I also think that nobody, absolutely nobody, could be more unlikable than Obama. The childish and immature way he has treated Republicans is disgraceful. I think Cruz is much more of a mature statesman and will definitely have what it takes to work with his own party. The powers-that-be are less put off by his "likability" than the threat he poses to their cozy gravy train. "Likability" is a red herring.

John McCain started that “Unlikability of Cruz” his first few months in the Senate when they all discovered Cruz wasn't going to sit still his first year as most did,... nor was he going to play along to get along. And he didin't... .....then they all started using it who opposed Cruz...Pelosi and Reid and the rest of them. Then it's been a sound bite for the news....

So when you say it's out of proportion....it's just one of the many things the Demorats knew if they repeated it enough times it would be believed...they were outing Cruz pretty much from day one.....and here we are.
