Probably true. I will say Cruz wouldn’t be my preferred candidate bcause he doesn’t seem to be able to work with anybody and while his positions are good, he hasn’t achieved any of them. However, I’d vote for him. But he’d be better as VP where he’d be Senate President.
At the top of the ticket? I don’t know. Maybe somebody we haven’t even thought of yet. I’d like to see Walker or Jindal come back into play. I think Walker would be better because he’s stronger, but Jindal has been pretty strong too. However, realistically speaking, that’s not going to happen.
But even if it’s Cruz, we won’t have a Woodstock generation candidate (the Dems have not one but two) because the GOP has a lot of young people and all of our candidates (except for Trump) are well under the age of 70.
That seems to be a recurring theme around here. He has one percent of the Senate vote. 1/100th of the ability to get things done there. He is bucking the GOPee, which is terrified of him--enough so they embrace Trump.
That he has held his ground in the face of such entrenched opposition is a lot, and bespeaks a man of character.

“I will say Cruz wouldn’t be my preferred candidate bcause he doesn’t seem to be able to work with anybody “
I daresay it is because no one wants to work with him.
Reagan had nobody assisting him on Capital Hill as he was plagued by Democrats. He refused to play their game and took it directly to the American people.
He was successful, just like Ted Cruz can be if whiners get over their ‘he can’t win’ attitude.
