You mean like obama has played it? Is that what you think Cruz would do as president? Play fast and loose with the constitution, rule by executive fiat, and use the US military, the US treasury and every other body of the US government to advance his personal priorities...as favorably as you may regard them?
Obama was a fast talking inexperienced JR senator who accomplished quite a lot as president. Because he was black and unchallenged, because he is an unrepentant narcissist with contempt for the American people, because he had Reid and Pelosi ramming his orders through the House and Senate and because weakling GOP nonleaders let it go along to get along.
Now, who is going to ram Ted's conservative agenda through the House and Senate? McConnell? Ryan? Do you think the democrats are going to roll over for cruz like the GOP did for obama? Do you think the entire media and establishment are going to lie and manipulate public opinion on behalf of President Cruz? Do you think the unemployment rate is going to be 5% under Presdient Cruz with everyone reporting the roses are blooming?
This is not an “attack”
It is my political assessment. Cruz is dead meat as a president even if he were to get elected. He is inspiring to about 30% of the GOP voting base and that's about it. He can't win a national election. imo. But please, enjoy the speeches.
Funny, Regan faced the same challenges, well actually greater since congress was controlled by the dems... I guess we shouldn’t have bothered electing him.
Not many things on FR bug me, but being deliberately misquoted is one of them. You put that phrase in quotes as if i said it, so please, point to which of my posts says that.
So was that an accidental misquote, or just a deliberate lie?

What in the world is wrong with you? I've said twice in this thread - including in the very post you (mis)quoted - that Cruz is probably unelectable and that I don't support him. So hectoring me about him and telling me to "enjoy the speeches" is a complete nonsequitor.
