The main problem Cruz faces is that there’s just no way he can soften his position on gay rights or abortion. The most he can probably do is stop calling birth control pills “abortifacients,” but it’s not like he’s going to actually reverse that stance either. He’s so massively socially conservative that general election voters will be overwhelmingly turned off, which means in a two way race he’ll still pull down the 35% or so of GOP dead enders and maybe another 5 to 10 percent on top of that at the absolute most. Minorities, gays and most women will run screaming from the guy.

On top of everything else he just as a very weird and off putting appearance, like Liberace mated with Joseph McCarthy.

From the way he’s talked recently, I think Cruz is going to try to portray himself as the “common sense” candidate, trying to portray his radical stances as something “normal people” agree with inside the privacy of their own homes. Served up with a hearty dressing of “My opponent is Obama 2.0!”
