For Ted Cruz, the cen­tral flaw is a malig­nant nar­cis­sism that erupts into con­de­scen­sion, intel­lec­tual arro­gance, and a sense of inevitabil­ity. He is no longer car­ry­ing the mes­sage; he is the mes­sage. That atti­tude, of course, leads to the mes­sage get­ting lost, as prin­ci­ple after prin­ci­ple is sac­ri­ficed to get the man into office, because that is all that mat­ters.

I'm sorry, but is this guy talking about Cruz? Describes Trump to me.

Their folly is called Projection.

The article is a silly smear of Cruz that manages to be both unhinged and haughty. But it plays well to a certain crowd.
