He would make a great president!

Am I missing something about Ted Cruz? The Texas senator seems to me to be the one true conservative left in the presidential race, and the most true conservative who was ever in it. Graduated cum laude from Princeton, magna cum laude from Harvard. "Off the charts brilliant," said his liberal professor Alan Dershowitz. The first Hispanic solicitor general of Texas. Authored more than 80 Supreme Court briefs and made more than 40 oral SCOTUS arguments. Won important victories on gun rights, the Pledge of Allegiance, the right to display the Ten Commandments. Sponsored close to a hundred bills during his time in the Senate.

...Believe me, I see the electoral difficulties. I don't know if Cruz can win against the Democrat. But in an election season of one surprise after another, with more surprises surely waiting just offstage, is there anyone who would dare to say he can't win, that it isn't possible? If Trump finally makes his supporters sick of themselves? If Hillary gets nailed by the FBI? If Cruz learns to sell his message with a touch of warmth and keeps his Jesus in his pocket more?

Maybe that's too many miracles to ask, but I'll say this. I think if it should shake out like that, if Cruz, by some God-directed turn of events, should win the nomination and then the general — I don't think he would make a good president. I think he would make a great president.
