A report that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is seriously considering a presidential run in 2016 has David Frum wondering if he can mount a serious bid.
“Texas is home to the biggest lode of GOP donor money in the country. If Cruz can successfully woo this money, he becomes a serious presidential candidate: not necessarily a winner in the general election (see Romney, Mitt), but at least somebody who can be nominated. If he fails to secure substantial contributions from the Texas Big Donors, then he’s Rick Santorum: a candidate with base appeal, but no hope for the prize.”
