Good observation, and it also goes hand in hand with the whole opposite side cheer-leading for him. They should wait and see who all declares before skewering or cheering. I thought it was interesting that no sooner did Cruz declare, there are those labeling him dead. Power politics, the reason we have such sh@tty government.

I like that!

Exactly, when ever the Left is after someone I start paying attention to them. Almost always like whoever it is.

When Huffpo comes out against a candidate, I call that an endorsement.

Thanks, Huffpo!

To be expected that the lefties will be on Cruz
like white on rice.

Huffington Post drivel. Apparently the author knows little of WWII or Neville Chamberlain. And Obama had extensive government experience before entering the White House (by voting present most of the time)? To paraphrase Reagan, "tear down this bloated federal government Mr. Speaker."

"He doesn't appear to grasp the notion that dealing with the world requires skills beyond a passionate, bumper-sticker laced Senate floor speech riddled with the typical talking points. Nor does he appear to recognize that anyone who is fortunate enough to win the top job in the country needs to exhibit a set of characteristics that run polar opposite of Cruz's propensity for being reflexively dogmatic. As all presidents have learned throughout the Republic's history, being Commander-in-Chief often means being willing to cast aside ideology in order to keep Americans safe and serve the best interests of the country. "
This hasn't stopped Obama's utter failure.
Doing exactly the opposite worked well for Reagan.
But facts don't concern imbecilic writers like the author.

When I start off reading a blog from someone that describes himself as "national security dude", my expectations are very low. I found nothing to raise my opinion in this article. When I read an opinion piece, I want to know why I should value the opinion of the author. My dog has an opinion and after a sniff, may or may not like Ted Cruz. I would give more credence to the sniff test than this.

I'm neither for Cruz or against him this early, but what I do agree on is that this is just the usual load of crap from The HuffPo. I'll wait for something slightly more objective.

One thing I do find interesting, and this early it's just that, is that the MSM appears to be very afraid of Cruz, even while saying he has no chance.

Here it comes. The Left will be pouncing on Cruz like all get out. Not only that but the Progressive Republicans will be joining in.

Ah, yes...HuffPo. The last bastion of objective thought.

So Cruz will never be able to capture the "moderate Republican"? Well, I say good!
