Holy crap! Pinch me, I must be dreaming...the Texan who's constantly holding Republicans, along with Democrats, accountable, the man who Joe Scarborough loves to hate, is reportedly considering a presidential bid!
NRO: Freshman senator Ted Cruz is considering a presidential run, according to his friends and confidants.Yippee ki-yay!
Cruz won’t talk about it publicly, and even privately he’s cagey about revealing too much of his thought process or intentions. But his interest is undeniable.
“If you don’t think this is real, then you’re not paying attention,” says a Republican insider. “Cruz already has grassroots on his side, and in this climate, that’s all he may need.”
“There’s not a lot of hesitation there,” adds a Cruz donor who has known the Texan for decades. “He’s fearless.”
Just the hint of interest gives hope to a party that's internally flushing itself away with the wrong leaders. But just watch for the calls of McCarthyism to escalate to a level of derision on par with a Goldwater run among the establishment operatives and punditry.
