"Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error." Marcus Tullius Cicero

Mr. Rothenbreg begins his article by recounting how Sen. Cruz told Rothenberg that he had the wrong analysis in concluding that Cruz would lose to Dewhurst.--

Here, Mr. Rothenberg persists in his error.

Yeah, arguing is a problem when intelligent Republicans do it.

Of course, Democrats have Candy Crowley to help them argue.

“It wasn’t personal, of course. Ted Cruz simply loves to argue. “

In other words Ted Cruz would fit right in here at FR.

Argue?
No, “Educate”.
Not accept false premises.

It isn’t “arguing” when you’re right.

Sounds like Stu Rothenberg likes to argue against reality.

> “That has made him a favorite on the right and ***a punching bag*** to liberals and many in the national media.”

Liberals would never dare go up against Cruz unless they are in front of a ‘punching bag’ while fantasizing they are punching Ted Cruz.

Argue? What, does the guy have control over his own mind or something?

That needs to be investigated, hope the NSA is on this.

He’s likely just floating out the latest fabricated characterization of Cruz, hoping against hope that he can deter a Cruz presidency.

Look how Ted Cruz mops the floor with Candy Crowley:

I shudder to watch what Ted Cruz does to any leftist media pundit, like Godzilla stepping on a cockroach.

He says Cruz has no self doubt...

Everyone has self doubt, the question is
what do you do with it?

Do you let it dictate you or do you
convert it into belief and action?

Patton always said “Never take counsel of your fears...”

Ted has them but doesn’t let them lead him from his
goal.

I told him to come to my office for an interview and to discuss the race...

Right, Mr. Rothenburg! YOU give orders to Ted Cruz... and HE follows them.

Liberals love to argue...but the author doesn’t seem to have a problem with that.

I guess liberals aren’t used to republicans arguing back.

“But while Cruz is likely to engender passion among his supporters, he is regarded by many others in his party as unappealing and, even worse, unacceptable. To his critics, he is a self-promoting snake oil salesman, an unflattering comparison that suggests he is both untrustworthy and unscrupulous.

They find his language too inflammatory and confrontational, and many regard him as a disastrous general election nominee who would not only lose the presidential election but damage the party’s prospects down-ballot.

The kind of Republicans who supported Mitt Romney and John McCain in the past will never embrace Cruz, of course.”

**************

That’s because they are gonad-free wusses who just want to go with the flow.

The Texan is one of the more combative and confrontational conservatives in the race for his party’s nomination. That has made him a favorite on the right and a punching bag to liberals and many in the national media.

He's only a "punching bag" for those liberals too afraid to confront him face-to-face. No liberal in the country could match Cruz' knowledge and message delivery.
