Ted Cruz2016 Presidential Candidate
Groan.
Cruz was smart to not criticize Trump or Trump’s supporters.
Cruz is the likely inheritor of the ‘angry outsider vote’ if those votes go for an established, experienced politician.
Cruz is my first choice. But no way the Republican establishment is going to let him win. They hate his guts.
Absent Trump-like money, he won’t make it further.
Therefore, I’m supporting Trump for now. Hoping he picks Cruz as VP.
Let’s see, Erickson writes “My theory is...” I really don’t care what his theory is. He’s an establishment nobody that overplayed his hand. What a loser he’s turned out to be. “My theory is “ that nobody will notice he said anything.
“right now 61.4% of the vote is with the anti-establishment crowd.”
ONly 61.4%???
I guess the other 38.6% believe that the same people who have been powerless for the last 30 plus years to fix our problems will suddenly be able to fix our problems?

I’m not a fan of Erickson, but he’s spot on with this analysis.
Trump supporters will tell you Erickson is a RINO GOPe sellout.
Erickson will take anyone but Trump.
It must torment Erick that he had to resort to kinda-sorta endorsing Cruz to try to make folks forget his Trump screw up....
We didn’t need EE to tell us what we all knew before reading this.
Plausible path to the nomination.
It is looking very good for Cruz. He is doing this very methodically and with intelligent calm reasoning is looking very presidential.
There is just ‘something’ you can’t quite put your finger on about the lack of contention between Ted and Donald. If they are conspiring, they are masters of the art.
My thinking is that Trump will see how the early Primaries pan out for him and Cruz and if the big Primaries turn out fairly equal between he and Ted, before the Convention Trump will announce that he is supporting Cruz. King making has to be a very sweet spot to be in.
Really, really think Trump loves the campaign fight, but don’t think Trump will relish the idea of having to share power with somewhat equal partners in the Congress and Court.
My apologies for the re-post, but it seemed ideal for this thread too.
Eric weasel.
