(..For the moment, Cruz’s inner circle is small: mostly aides from his Senate campaign; his father, Rafael; and his wife, Heidi..)
If his volunteer list is made up of his father and wife, how can be fail?
(…Behind the scenes, there is a palpable fear on the right that the GOP will nominate a moderate Republican in 2016. There’s also growing unease with the field of likely contenders.
Enter Cruz. His supporters argue that he’d be a Barry Goldwater type — a nominee who would rattle the Republican establishment and reconnect the party with its base – but with better electoral results….)
A Barry Goldwater type???
Mr. Barry won all of 5 deep Southern states in 1964.
And if JFK was alive and running in ’64 against Goldwater, the results would have been the same.
(…Cruz isn’t worried that his birth certificate will be a problem. Though he was born in Canada, he and his advisers are confident that they could win any legal battle over his eligibility. Cruz’s mother was a U.S. citizen when he was born, and he considers himself to be a natural-born citizen….)
Will The Donald begin twittering about Cruz’s birth certificate…let’s see it, the long form not a truncated short form.
(..Earlier this year, Cruz gave the keynote speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where he was greeted with a raucous reception and praised by Sarah Palin. She touted Cruz as a conservative who “chews barbed wire and spits out rust.”…”)
Chews barbed wire and spits out rust.
My daughter is a vegan, but she would say barbed wire and rust may be meatless, but caution is advised.
Will Cruz campaign by going to the Texas/Mex. border and chew on the border fence?
