Cruz can do well but will he fall prey to the same thing that hit so many other conservatives and that is too many other conservatives splitting the vote. He has doe deal with Perry (who people continue to underestimate), Carson (who is going to be popular), Paul (who has appeal beyond his father's libertarian base), and maybe even Huckabee (who will scoop up the evangelicals).
So will 2016 be like so many other years where the conservatives duke it out and a 'moderate' mainstreamer like Christie just sails past them. Of course if Bush and Christie are both in, then they will have duke it out for that vote and we could see a conservative consolidate before one of them does.
