“...Kondik, who noted that both parties have detoured with non-establishment candidates in the past and lost — the Republicans in 1964 with Barry Goldwater and Democrats in 1972 with George McGovern.”
And Obama was not an extreme candidate who greatly appealed to the extreme leftist base? How is Obama different than Cruz in this specific regard?
The color of his skin?

Vapid.
Bush, Dole, McCain, W (compare his victories with all the Bush backing to Reagan, who even won NY)
The establishment candidates are not working for the GOP, unless the writer’s point is that the GOP should stick to what they’re used to, which is what they’ve been doing. They might enjoy being in the minority and not having a GoP prez.
Cruz will be running against the, as well. But nothing will surprise him.
As if BO was not obviously a lying leftist.
And, Obama has a huge enemies list. Probably more people dislike Obama than dislike Cruz.

Cruz has a much more impressive resume’ of accomplishments!
Arguing and winning cases before SCOTUS, clerking for a Justice, Texas Solicitor General, etc., before becoming a Senator. Plus, he’s a hell of a lot more intelligent!
