Ted lived up to my expectation of him. He is as much a zealot in his own way as a radical muzzie is in theirs. He does not know moderation or compromise or statesmanship. You don’t have to be a turncoat or sacrifice your principles like Ryan or ones of his ilk but you do have to exercise some good sense. Being brilliant, and Cruz is probably brilliant, isn’t enough.
That’s a good point.
Some commentators have observed that Republican voters are motivated by an irrational anger for the GOP Congress compromising with Obama too much,and that’s why they rejected the traditional GOP candidates.
This doesn’t make sense to me. The uncompromising GOP candidate was Cruz, not Trump. Trump was the explicitly non ideological candidate - he presented himself as a non ideological (conservative leaning) deal maker.
The angry uncompromising voters somehow rejected the uncompromising GOP candidate, Cruz.
Like most media mind viruses, it makes no sense.
