and that's ted cruz. the person who brings this in a theological and frankly tea party populist sense, and that's rafael cruz, is telling the truth. >> you know what? i just want to say that this reminds me of what we always believed about the marxists. the real communist who is did it for a living. they would say anything that they believe would advance their cause. truth to them was whatever advances the cause. it sounds so much like the parallel to that. >> you know, it's interesting, too, and wayne got at this. that rafael cruz really represents the full synthesis of the religious right and the tea party right which we talked about the last few years. there's a tremendous overlap there. and they both are factions based on grievance, feeling they're not in the mainstream. and these people are -- you know, gives these speeches, goes to these mega-churches and talks about this stuff. they say, yes, your son will deliver us. they mean it politically and spiritually. >> any connection between benjamin fran

the best and the worst of ted cruz. here's number three from ted cruz. in july, he made an impassioned case at the western reserve -- western conservative summit in denver. the conservatives had to block the president's health care law at all costs, because of all things people might like it. let's listen. >> on january 1, the exchanges kick in. and the subsidies kick in. once those kick in, it's going to prove almost impossible to undo obama care. the administration's plan is very simple. get everyone addicted to the sugar, so that obama care remains a permanent feature of our society. >> david, this is the strangest acknowledgment. he is saying it might work. people might really like it, so make sure we screw it up before it gets to them. >> what he is saying is, they might like being ensuinsured. we have to stop this. but there is a big at your picture, too. one reason they were so desperate to stop obama care, when we fight about obama care, what we're fighting about is whether the u.s. government has a role in social policy and making things better

ted cruz follows that model. irony is that people like rush limbaugh and ann coulter are happy to have a democrat to beat up in the white house. this he don't have an interest in winning elections. it doesn't do them any good to have a republican in the white house because then what would they talk about? they would have to become devoted to that president which doesn't help their ratings. ted cruz is following the model of the people who least want to win elections, but he's using and claiming that could help win elections. it's so ironic but the reason why people like steve schmidt lose credibility among the base because they believe rush and it will help to us win the white house when clearly that's not what rush probably wants. >> steve schmidt, the backlash seems to be under way by establishment republicans in washington against ted cruz. >> there's no glory in losing election after election and there's no glory in committing yourself to strategies that are self-evidently defeating the purpose of trying to b

that is how we got to ted cruz. ted cruz was the hair-on-fire guy. he was the tea party primary challenger to a guy whose hair was slightly less on fire. but it was texas, so even after picking the truly whacky guy in the primary, the republicans were still able to win the general election in texas, so now we all have ted cruz to zeal with in washington. the same pattern held in two other places in the last election, kentucky in and utah. in kentucky -- the last couple of elections. in kentucky, mitch mcconnell and the republican establishment had picked their candidate, who they wanted to run for that seat, who they knew who could win that seat. the guy on the left. that guy on the left lost to rand paul in the primary and then rand paul won the seat. in utah, they ousted the incumbent republican senator, bob bennett, and replaced him with mike lee. because it's utah and utah is that red a state, that was enough to get somebody as out there as mike lee into the united states senate. usually the purification process works in a way that makes republic

to ted cruz's point, no one is ever pure enough as ted cruz. and until -- if the republican party were to come together around some common agenda, ted cruz would be dead in the water, because his polls shtick. >> you know, the president had a light touch there, wayne. he said the other day that he knows who the members of his cabinet are by who's ted cruz has called a communist. that's tough talk, but the look of the guy, the political face he puts out there of anger and hatred, only then can you joke about guy saying -- >> well, no, think about this. go beyond the words that he uses. i know it's difficult to do. but it's not just the words he's using, it is what he is -- the way he is saying it. he is talking about absolutes. and so when he talks about someone being not just different than me, but a communist. not someone who just has a different point of view, but as evil, that's the implication there, it resonates among the constituencies that he's trying to appeal to. he lives in and lives off of a political universe where it's us and them,

(inaudible) they are all dying there because they have withdrawn all of the water as well. these people need to be asked, and forced to start watering them, pruning the trees, and taking care of them. and replanting the significant the trees that have been removed which we think will be subsan shall. >> i think that is all. >> thank you. >> oh, one thing. i wanted to show you because when you love trees, to see what is going on in the park, truly heart breaking. here is a photo of a picture of a tree, it is on ocean park motel. and it is taken many years to get this. it is japanese type of pruning, i can't do it i am not that advanced but through the years, the planes take shape and i want to show you another tree, there are very few people that are this good. and this is also a cypris that has been (inaudible) and look at the beauty of that. seeing what is happening in the park is heart wrenching, these trees can be saved. please, mandate these people to do their job. >> thank you. >

and i am happy if my testimony is not witness enough to contact ted and have him come in. and it was very expensive to get him, and to come in it would have been another 500. and i thought that i could prevent it. >> with 79 percent of all of the large trees in the city, being removed, i think that everything should be done to preserve the trees that we have. replanting it will not bring these trees back. ted gives 70 percent chance that this tree can be saved. ten to 15 years can be gotten out of it. there are trees in golden gate park that are 100 years old. we agree that it has needles and it has (inaudible) but ted has recommended using agrefars and petra bark to get the immunity of the trees up. as mr. roberts said the real problem is that park merced has drawn all water from these large trees, we are condemning them to a slow death. as well as on gonzales alone, roughly 12 trees have been removed, significant trees and not replanted. and this is concern. ted also recommended that this be cabled and says that 35 years can go with cabling their turn buckles on it. i ho

do you think ted cruz is a good actor? >> obviously, he's a great actor. i mean, you know, he's -- look at what he's done so far. you know, he -- he has risen to the top of the -- to the tea party. coming from harvard. so, you know, he's been able to pull off this populist routine quite effectively. >> herman cain did that last year. that's not difficult. >> well, look, a half dozen people have done it out of the millions and millions that would like to do it. and cain, you know, he lasted a couple weeks. i think ted cruz has already outlasted -- i'm just saying that his acting skills are, i think, impressive, despite, you know, some so-so performances he might have turned in that were caught on that film. >> right. okay. now john, chris christie is another republican in that top tier of 2016 hopefuls. but you've written, and i'm quoting you, that sheparding christie through a competitive republican primary will be vastly more difficult than anybody seems to be figuring at the moment. and you say that this is partly to do with questions about a, quote, top
