Just a reminder, I said here that after the media thought they had Carson positioned to take out Trump, they would destroy Carson. Mission accomplished. Then I said they were already coming in with the stories praising Cruz to have him take out Trump. Well, neither he nor Trump are playing---they don't attack each other. But my point was, all those fawning stories everyone was posting here on FR about how Cruz had a "secret strategy" to win, it was just more set-up from the drive bys.

I am NOT saying Cruz hasn't earned his 10-14%. Maybe he'll get more, maybe he won't (I think the latter). All I wanted to point out is that there was a reason that there was a burst of pro-Ted stories in the drive-bys---and it wasn't because they like or respect Cruz or actually think he'll win. They were setting him up as the next "Donald Buster" so they could swap him out for Rubio.

And, no, I don't think that strategy will work either. Rubio has dug his own grave.

“all those fawning stories everyone was posting here on FR about how Cruz”

I haven’t seen any “fawning” stories about Cruz in the MSM. The stories I’ve seen talked about how everyone hates Cruz and how unpopular he is.

I’m not saying they don’t exist. I’m just saying that I am not familiar with them.

You do realize that this drive-by, Washington Post article is pushing Trump over Cruz, right?

Ummmm....except that Jennifer Rubin has been bitchily and viciously attacking Ted Cruz from long before Donald Trump even appeared on the scene, let alone run for president. Check the archives of her articles at the WAPO. She has had a major hardon for Ted Cruz for ages.

Couldn’t there be an alternative conspiracy theory, Larry? The MSM support Clinton and want her operative in position to Perot his way out of the general. I mean, nobody thought Willy could beat Bush, until Perot showed up and elected the Boy President not once, but twice.
