In order to beat Hillary, you have to beat the media (and mention Benghazi OFTEN).

I’m skeptical that any Republican can win the Presidency in the foreseeable future. As far as I can tell, this country is headed towards Euro-Socialism. Where Europe is today, we’ll be in 50 years (or less).

Let’s hope I’m wrong. Heck, it wouldn’t be the first time.

It only took the first seven words for this peniswrinkle to give Cruz the ailinsky treatment. Impressive.

"He may be a right-wing nut,"

"The demagoguing senator"

No bias here, no sirree.

I believe that clause of the Constitution has been waived. It seems than no one in the whole gosh-darned US of A has standing to challenge anything.

Run a “right wing nut” and see what happens. It hasn’t been tried since Reagan.

I’m PRAYING that if Madam Benghazi runs in 2016, it will be from GITMO or Supermax!

Canada is not Kenya.

Cruz’s father had aspirations to become an American and did so while Ted was very young.

And Cuba was at one time a protectorate of the United States.

Cruz is qualified.

If he wins the nomination I’ll support him, and maybe before that, but right now I want to see what the circus is going to turn up. For that matter, the Democrats might have a circus of their own to contend with. Seeing how easy the Obamarama got off the ground, other flim-flam scum are sure to give it a try.

So, the author makes a statement with the title "Ted Cruz Could Beat Hillary" which, he clearly does NOT believe. Then he attempts to paste a string of invectives on Cruz to see which sticks:

Cruz is more dangerous as president than Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, Chris Christie; a right-wing nut,, demagoguing senator, disbelief[that the Republicans would nominate him]; Cruz couldn’t possibly win Florida!; a reputation for ideological extremism hurts; a fringe figure; Cruz is more dangerous as president than Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, Chris Christie.

Even if he believed Cruz could beat Hillary, this piece is nothing more than an effort to establish that Cruz is... take your pick from the list above...hoping that some negative label will gain traction.

The truth is, the Democrats can't make up their mind. On one hand, they sort of hope that Cruz gets the nomination because he could easily be painted as a radical. On the other hand, they are afraid to full-out bless his candidacy, the way they did with McCain (knowing he was a loser) because they may truly be afraid that Cruz's genuine conservatism just might kick their butt.

He would have to not only beat Hillary, but also the establishment GOP.
