Is this author someone with no axe to grind? Does he share the Constitutionalist viewpoint? Or is he a self-styled pragmatIst with no feeling for or interest in maintaining a Constiutional Republic?

Julian Zelizer is a liberal who argues that Obamacare didn't go far enough and the Democrats should emulate Ted Kennedy.

His point of view is pretty predictable, but he gives his opinions a spin or twist. Even that gets predictable, as the spin or twist always seems to be that Democrats should be bolder and more aggressive, that there's too much bipartisanship in Washington, at least on the Democrats part.

Cruz versus Paul, though, doesn't look like a great choice. On the other hand, when is the last time there were really great choices in presidential elections?

Both guys are an improvement over some of the candidates in the last race. Limited experience, though is a problem both men face (I know -- lack of experience didn't hurt Barack Obama, but how did that work out for the country?).

Thanks for the description. It certainly explains the tone and substance of the article which I think betrays Zelizer’s lack of awareness on what makes conservatives tick in 2014.

Barry Benghazi's problem isn't lack of experience. His problem is a downright evil policy agenda. He's quite successful at destroying America. His disastrous foreign policies, monetary policies, tax policies, environmental policies, and his crown jewel: 0bamacare, do not represent failure on his part. Quite the contrary. The destruction is going according to plan.

So ... I'm not at all concerned about Ted Cruz's or Rand Paul's supposed lack of experience. I'm much more interested in their pro-America, conservative, constitutionalist policies and agendas. Experience can be gained.
