Are Republicans Already Dissatisfied With Their 2016 Field?
Byron York asks if "the intensity of Cruz-mania could also reflect an emerging
Republican unhappiness with the party's 2016 presidential field."

(Washington Examiner) By all accounts, Ted Cruz, a man who has been in the
Senate for all of seven months and was virtually unknown on the national scene
just a year ago, dazzled Republicans during a weekend visit to Iowa. That was
due first, of course, to Cruz’s considerable appeal as a politician. But the
intensity of Cruz-mania could also reflect an emerging Republican unhappiness
with the party’s 2016 presidential field. Think back to 2011 and 2012. Many Republicans were deeply dissatisfied with their field, which saw Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum lead the race before Mitt Romney finally captured the GOP nomination. But at the same time they bemoaned their choices, Republicans often remarked that the party had a "deep bench" for the future, and that the 2016 GOP primary race would be an "embarrassment of riches." |
