This cycle's Fred Thompson
Thompson: Late-Entry, Former Senator, Large crowd of supporters begging him to enter, not seen as a a 'toxic' candidate
Cruz: Early-Entry, Current Senator, loyal base is looking fairly small, seen as extremely unelectable
Not really similar at all.
Yea, he's more like the 2008 Sam Brownback.
WTF? Brownback was a no-name backbencher that ran a somnabulant campaign.
Cruz OTOH is a star among conservatives and has proven that he can raise big amounts of cash and whip the crowds into a frenzy with his rhetoric. His chances to win the nomination maybe small but saying that he won't be a factor in this contest is completely wrong.
