The knives are coming out for Ted Cruz

Here’s a story reprinted in The Australian from The Times in London: Ted Cruz, the man more dangerous than Donald Trump. Why is he more dangerous? Because he doesn’t look as dangerous to those rubes known as voters and citizens. This is the subhead of the article which spells it out, “Senator Ted Cruz is the acceptable face of right-wing Republicanism — which is why he’s scarier than The Donald.” This is from the article itself.

One leading Republican did not join the anti-Trump chorus, however. He is the man that many in the Republican establishment fear is more likely to become their presidential candidate than Trump: the Texas senator Ted Cruz. Cruz moved to the top of the polls this week in Iowa — the first state to vote in the presidential nomination race. At a press conference given by Cruz on Tuesday I waited and waited for a repudiation of Mr Trump but none came. He did say that he disagreed with the specific “no Muslims” policy idea but praised Trump’s contribution to the debate. Cruz will undoubtedly be aware that 78 per cent of Republican voters think Islamic values are somehow un-American.

Cruz has been the most consistently pro-Trump of all of the Republicans running for the White House. He has already said that he’d happily give Trump the job of building that US-Mexico wall if he became president. Cruz has also said that he’d consider putting Trump in charge of renegotiating America’s trade arrangements with China.

What scares me, of  course, are authors as obtuse as this one. No clue what really does concern the rest of us. Meanwhile.

Congress to vote on right of Muslims to migrate…
Muhammad Ali Hits Trump and ‘Misguided Murderers’ Sabotaging Islam…
DONALD’S RIGHT — UK HAS MUSLIM NO-GO AREAS, SAY POLICE…

The actual headline of that first posted article is Congress to Consider Easing Passage into U.S. for Immigrants which gives a much different sense of what’s in mind than the headline at Drudge.
