“…he’s eying a 2016 run for the White House…”
Because America needs the vision of an amateur ophthalmologist with plagiarism issues.

Both Paul and Cruz are far too egocentric to listen to the GOP brass and resist a run. Both will run, both will dominate their individual constituencies–that would be the “Young Conservatives Who Like Pot & Hate Minorities/Black Helicopter Psychos” Wing and the “Aging Frightened Raging White People”–neither will get the nomination, each will permanently damage whichever gubernatorial empty-suit to whom the Brass assign the chance to get his ass kicked by Hillary. Brass is hosed: who they gonna run? Kasich? Little Scottie Walker? Puh-leeze.
Hillary wins in '16. Very possibly, absent a major electoral catastrophe, in '20 as well.
No one has written the answer down for him, so he doesn’t know if it looks better like this, or like this.
I’m still betting on Team Crazy finally getting the nominee they want and deserve. The base wants it and the Conservative Entertainment Complex that controls the base seems deadset on destroying every establishment pol that looks like they’re threatening to run. Over the next year and a half, I expect the crazy to go into overdrive. It’s incredibly likely Hillary will be the nominee (there’s no one out there who has the ability to topple her like PBO did in '08), and if Republicans are still polling way behind her, they’re going to want to nominate someone who’ll go at her with with BENGHAZI, Vince Foster, Monica, etc. They’re not going to want someone who punts on these things. Only Team Crazy will be willing to do that with the sort of recklessness the TP craves.

maybe Murdoch’s really a closet progressive, bent on destroying the conservative brand? …and he’s been secretly stacking the FOX newscast room with vapid, zany lamebrains for this very purpose?
it seems the only logical explanation for the civil war breaking out among em’.

That’s something that confounds me as well. Why, when you know promoting this kind of crazy is killing the brand, would you continually allow your people to promote crazy? My best guess is that money and making more of it is ultimately more important than shifting their party to a more moderate, winning position. It never ceases to amaze me how the Conservative Entertainment Complex will sell out their followers for a buck, and Republicans are just too stupid to know it.
