That's exactly right. That's for all his bluster in the Senate nothing really changed. He's not a leader...i.e. he cannot convey a vision and/or get people to follow his vision. Even IF the establishment somehow let's him get the nomination and even if he doesn't get squashed by Clinton then he would be a weak President unable to lead or inspire his colleagues or the American people.
He’s surrounded by blithering idiots. That’s not his fault. The president needs to dominate this weak group. Not be buddies. Obama was buddies with Reid and shmucky shumer. Bush was buddies with Lott and the merry band of spenders. Lots of good came from all that.
Cruz is no leader. He is a lawyer.
“Cruz polls lowest in traditional Republican centers”
Cruz’s Republican colleagues in the Senate won’t give his self-serving ideas a sufficient second.
Cruz can’t even make the case on the Free Republic Caucus
Cruz = Lose
Except that HE needs them more than they need HIM.
And they are signaling as much.
The rumor that broke this morning of Rove’s superpac making play-nice moves toward Trump is not unintentional.
If they stop Trump, Cruz will not get the nomination. If Trump continues to the point it looks like the 1237 are doable, the establishment will start sidling up to Trump. They don’t want to be left out if he does get the nomination and win in November.
Cruz will do just fine. Not sure why y’all are so against the only conservative in the race.
I’m not supporting Cruz anymore, but when those that have been there for much longer than Cruz have much more to lose, they’ll refuse anything that would deny them power and status.
Cruz whining about tricks. That’s rich. How about those are the rules, Teddy, since you like that excuse.
Cruz loves to burn bridges to further his ambition, but hates the consequences.
Because Ted is such a monumemtal douche. No one but the kool aid hardcore can stomach him.
Really? Mind-reader, huh?
Oh, I don't know; maybe because lately he's been demonstrating that he's got a screw loose?
You forgot about Reagan - he was buddies with Tip O’Neill.
There’s a difference between inspiring people and alienating them. A leader does the former, Cruz the latter.
Parliamentary tricks are a two way street
That’s just stupid. You’ve obviously drunk more than your share of kool-aid.
That’s not his fault.

Yet another characteristic to add to Ted Cruz that makes him more like Barack Obama! Everything is “not his fault!”
Because they are not conservative, just the fact that the idiots tried to paint him as a Canadian is enough not to read the article. Ted is the real conservative in this race and Trump will lose after the national press gets through with him
Unlike DT who goes for multiples.
Which demonstrates that neither will get the nomination, doesn't it?
