Not really.
The Wingnuts will take out Jabba, and if they don't, the MSM media will.
And after he loses, the Right Wing will announce, 'Well, if only we ran a REAL conservative!"
No question the wingnuts will try, but their power within the party has diminished
Regular Republicans let them have their way in the shutdown and the wingnuts showed how irresponsible they can be
Regular Republicans will not support a candidate like Cruz or Paul.......neither will the rest of America
Democrats and independents still elect presidents; and neither will vote for the likes of Paul or Cruz.
They will vote for someone like Christie, however.
The TPM and radical right may infer from that fact what they will.
Guy this is where I have to disagree.
The GOP's two most unqualified successes were candidates who were unapologetically conserative. Reagan and Bush-43.
ROmney didn't lose because he was "too liberal" or "too conservative". Romney lost at the end of the day because he was a Weird Mormon who talked smack about working folks.
At the end of the day, 45% will always vote for the Republican and 45% will always vote for the Democrat and the 10% in the middle will vote for the guy who appeals to them on a personal level.
And the biggest problem the Democrats have is that they are about to nominate a shrill old woman who grates on people's nerves.
Could Cruz win? If the economy is still doing poor and Hillary acts like Hillary, maybe.
