Politico has lively piece about the presidential hopes of Senator Ted Cruz:
Asked this weekend in Iowa how he would handle the Islamic State, Cruz replied, "Kill them all."...
"If you tried to create the perfect constitutional conservative, you would make them like Ted Cruz," [Cruz campaign manager] Roe said. "You would have them be the son of an immigrant. You would have them memorize the Constitution in their teenage years. You would have them go to the best colleges in the world. You would have them study and apprentice under the best conservative jurists. Then have them run a campaign where they had to run against the moderate establishment and beat them. Like, that's what it would be. And that's exactly what it is."
