An Interesting Piece on Ted Cruz's Candidacy

He's a sharp guy, been very impressed with him during debates. Loved his line about the Democrat debate being "the Bolsheviks vs the Menshiviks" two debates ago.
I think he's the best, in terms of intelligence and leadership ability by far. I'm not sure about his broad appeal in a general election though.
I believe there is a lot more support for many of these candidates than is being reported. You are led to believe so given headlines like this morning, "Republican Party panic; move to draft Romney".
I have no doubt the party establishment are in full panic mode. They know most "Republicans" have opened their eyes and they are sick of Republican's foreign policy approach, big spending, anti-liberty stances, and the fact that most are liberal wolves dressed in conservative wool.
Yeah, that made me laugh. It should've said, "backers of Jeb in full panic mode, should we back Rubio or try to draft Romney".
Nikki Haley said it best:
“You have a lot of people who were told that if we got a majority in the House and a majority in the Senate, then life was gonna be great,” she said in an interview Thursday. “What you’re seeing is that people are angry. Where’s the change? Why aren’t there bills on the president’s desk every day for him to veto? They’re saying, ‘Look, what you said would happen didn’t happen, so we’re going to go with anyone who hasn’t been elected.’ ”
