Just how strange is it that the last remaining hope left to unite the Republican Party should be Ted Cruz? True, he seems to be the one man in sight or even existence who can address at one time the political class, the outsiders and the movement conservatives; the most right of the right, who wants to rip up the system, and yet has a flawless establishment resume. He graduated from Princeton and Harvard, became a government bureaucrat, a domestic advisor for George W. Bush and an adjunct professor of law.

In short, he’s someone who may want to burn the place down, but understands government and knows how to build it up afterwards, unlike a certain sub-literate orange-haired mogul. Also on the plus side, Cruz’s rallies are not marked by violence, he does not hire thugs who rough up reporters and he would not take four days to decide that the KKK is a very bad actor. And he has not threatened to riot if he is not nominated without having the traditional and established agreed-upon number of votes.
