It’s why he’ll never be nominated by the GOP. And before you say “Conservatives will rally around him ...” there aren’t enough. Once you get out of local elections, pretty much anything bigger than House (some exceptions to be sure) we, the Tea Party, don’t have the numbers. Now I fully disclose, as I have said before, that I do not like Ted Cruz for any number of reasons (but would vote for him as nominee) and don’t support him as the nominee (nor do I support Jeb Bush and his ilk who I would NOT vote for as POTUS). However, it is indeed a fact that he does not have National appeal.

And the GOP-E was saying the exact same thing about Reagan after the GOP-E had controlled the party for 40 years+.

Cruz's ideas unfiltered by the media would of course have national appeal. People like you don't help.

I wonder how many outside TX could even identify Ted Cruz if he passed by them in an airport.
