Ouch. If Fox is calling you on the carpet, all hope is lost….

Republicans remember the shelling they took when they nominated Goldwater. And Goldwater was far to the left of Cruz, and far more acceptable to the general public. There is, after all, a Republican “establishment”. It likes to have a chance of winning presidential elections, and it likes to have some voice in the positions a presidential candidate of its own party takes. Cruz won’t have the support of this establishment, because he’s too far out there to win the presidency and because he’s too much his own parade, too little willing to play ball.

This doesn’t prove that he can’t possibly win the nomination, but it means that the odds of that happening are long.
