RE: Given the low-info nature of todays American voter, Lie-a-watha would be nearly as difficult to defeat as the Ubershrew.
Even if Ted Cruz is her opponent?
Yep. And correction: 266, vs 262 EVs. That's WITHOUT FL, VA, NV and OH, which have all gone to Obama the last two elections.
McCain and Romney were both successfully portrayed as raving right-wing lunatic ideologues. And all of us here really know what they were, right?
Just watch what they do to an authentic Conservative like Cruz. I’m not saying that Cruz is the wrong candidate, just that he, like anyone the GOP runs, is going to get taken apart in an incredibly painful way. And with a lock on 262 (or so) EVs the Dems are going to take, gleefully take, the GOP nominee apart in the most brutal manner possible. Because they can.
