1. Who elected Richardson arbiter for what “almost every Hispanic in the country” does or does not want?
2. Ted Cruz is “from Texas, a conservative state.” When did those facts become a national detriment?
3. No, indeed; there is nothing about Cruz’s politics for Richardson to like. Leftists certainly don’t like it when there is interference in their getting things done. Cruz has proven a most effective stumbling block.
4. “Rude?” “Demean the office?” Cruz is “sort of the Republican latest flavor?” Tut tut. If Richardson thinks Senator Cruz has been rude or demeaned the office, he hasn’t listened to his own trash talk. Or Harry Reid’s.
Carville’s assessment of Senator Cruz becomes all the more striking compared with rhetoric like this.
Senator Cruz has an impeccable, conservative pedigree. James Carville knows it. He wasn’t throwing roses at Senator Cruz’s feet. He was sounding an alarm. He wasn’t giving Cruz kudos; he was declaring political DEFCON One. Carville made it clear: “I further think that he’s going to run for president and he is going to create something.”
Senator Cruz has become a political force to be feared by Democrats. Now watch for the long knives to come out in earnest.
