I do like that he didn't pussyfoot around with the usual "exploratory committee".
The party elite and libmedia are dead set against him. And Cruz hasn't developed the kind of charisma and retail political operation that allowed Reagan to overwhelm very similar opposition from the media and the GOP elite back in 1980.

"The Great Communicator" was a one of a kind, wasn't he?
If Cruz gains any traction and finesses his way through the RNC gaunlet, I believe he's a legit threat to the Dems. He's poised, gutsy, knowledgeable, sharp, an excellent debater, and possesses an even temperament. I can see him destroying any opponent in his way -- and especially the Dem opponent.
Witty (or so they think) preemptive "over-before-it-starts" campaign sabotage...
Actually, they concluded that Cruz will likely fare well and could gain a decisive early advantage this way.
Recall 1976 when little-known Jimmuh Carter grabbed the nomination from a half-dozen other Dims who had far better funding and pedigree. It was all over before the establishment Dims could get their act together and start campaigning in IA/NH.
So Cruz's early move, if he has a tycoon or two in his pocket, could serve to help him cut through the entire field and knock off the smaller candidates much sooner, leaving him as the only real alternative to the Bush machine.
