NYT hit piece: Ted Cruz is "extreme long shot", "zero chance at winning"

[Warlord]

Cruz is going no where outside Iowa

I am very glad that Rand has been positioning himself to be taken seriously since 2010. In my opinion Rand has done what he has done so that he won't be hailed as an extreme long shot. Its a different approach than Ron and I think it is a winner.

Cruz can suck it.

Cruz's biggest impact will be felt in Iowa if he shaves enough votes off Rand to deny him a win. Rand, like Ron before him, needs to win an early primary or caucus, to show that he's a conservative that can win. If not, he'll be buried by the media as they pour coverage and credibility onto the frontrunner who is winning.
