Scarborough: Cruz 'Even Worse Than Trump' for Republican Senate Candidates
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

The Coming Cruz Senate Apocalypse? That's Joe Scarborough's baleful prophesy, should the senator from Texas snatch the Republican presidential nomination. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough asserted that "Ted Cruz is the worst-case scenario for [GOP] Senate candidates, even worse than Donald Trump."

So bad, in fact, that Joe agreed with Mike Barnicle that Cruz as nominee = Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader. In making his case against Cruz, Joe said "there's a reason why in 2008 there was not a single Republican representing anybody in all of New England in Congress." Kind of strange tarring Ted for the absence of New England Republicans in 2008, considering that Cruz wasn't elected to the Senate . . . until 2012.

This may actually be the intent of the GOPee. They are uncomfortable having to take the blame for things not getting better. If they get Cruz in the White House, but loose the Senate, Cruz can try as hard and he can to appoint conservative Justices, but he just won’t be able to get them confirmed. Bo Ho! “Those mean Democrats are ruining the country.”

This may well true for the GOP candidates (grand old party)
But not for the GNP candidates (grand new party)

I agree. The only reason Cruz is doing as well as he is, is because the Republican political machine is behind him. If Cruz does become the candidate November will be a disaster.
