Try Newsweek for only $1.25 per week

Actually, this caught my eye. That is still five quarters too many for that rag...

Interesting that the Republican strategist attributes Cruz's motivation for first-entry into the race as coming from the "shiny object principle," to get attention.

Looks to me like honesty and leaning-into-it principle. Cruz has declared to his compatriots in America that he's not playing games. He's come right out and told us with ACTION that he's a serious warrior for limited government Constitutional Christian conservatism. He cuts to the chase. He speaks plainly. His early entry confirms it in every way. At this point, Walker can only serve as a spoiler.

"Shiny object" tells more about the strategist than it does about Cruz.

One of the five is Sen Cruz’ principled stance on ethanol subsidies.

There was an episode of the West Wing during the Presidential primary where democrat rock star and ultimate nominee Matt Santos is advised, against his better judgment, to endorse the subsidies. He grudgingly does, but the episode is about selling your soul to get elected. And then. The GOP nominee Arnold Vinick comes out and looks the ethanol crowd in the eye and says he has a record opposing the subsidies and he’d be a hypocrite to flip flop now, and he’s not a hypocrite: he’s sticking to his guns.

This episode was designed to make Vinick (Alan Alda) more personable and to show that Santos (Jimmy Smits) could learn something even from his opposing party nominee. It was an episode designed to show that the democrat could learn from his mistakes (endorsing ethanol against his better judgment).

I know it’s fiction. But. THIS is how progressives told a story about principles in a Presidential race. When truth matches fiction: “that guy doesn’t have a chance because his base of support is limited”.

Most people don’t vote ideological lines. That’s why Obama was elected twice. Enough people saw him as a likeable guy. People don’t vote for timidity. A republican candidate raising a bold flag will have support that transcends ideology. That is both the dems and the GOPe’s worst nightmare.
