No One Has Ted Cruz’s Back

Peggy Noonan: “It matters what people think of you. It’s important that people have a high opinion of your essential integrity, trustworthiness and good faith. It matters that they like you. Mr. Cruz, when challenged by Mr. Trump, could have used some backup from prominent Republicans, but they didn’t throw him a lifeline.”

“You know why Mr. Cruz had no backup? Because almost no one who works with him likes him. They haven’t experienced him as a trustworthy person of good faith. They waited, as people do, for a chance to hurt him, and when they got it they did.”

1. I nominate Peggy to befriend Ted...

...they deserve each other.

2. Ted's counting on the network of pastors

and their flocks to propel him onto the nomination stage in Cleveland.

Have no idea how many pastors and flock folks that would entail, but Noonan, citing that Cruz has no support, is speaking about the people at the cocktail parties she goes to and not the caucus Republicans in Iowa.

Noonan is part of the Beltway cadre of Reagan-licking Republicans whose party has been taken over by people like Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. And people this cadre paid to bring them into the party are at those same DC cocktail parties as Peggy.

None of the pastors and flock folk who show up to support Ted Cruz in the Iowa caucus in two weeks gives one shit what Peggy Noonan has to say about anything.
