Fine, let Cruz sweep the early states

Chuck Todd talked about the order of the caucuses/primaries. The of the first two: Iowa and South Carolina, tea party/evangelicals rule. Immediately after, there is Super south where many Southern states hold their show.

Thus, Cruz can come swinging after the first wave.

Great, this will be enough to scare independents and even anti-Hillary Democrats.

On Bill Maher the other day, when the conservative panelist expressed her doubt about Democrats coming out to vote for Hillary, Barney Frank quipped: the voters will be driven to the polls by the Republican nominee.

There will a cargo van full of dipshits who will siphon votes off of each other leaving the "moderate" ones standing - in this case Jeb.

for suits, travel, fine dining. A professional career politician has to spend big to gold plate the turd.

I can't prove but I really believe the fix is in for Jeb. And of course even though he is trying to come off as a moderate he would be just as destructive as Cruz if he ever made it to the Oval Office.
