The conservative World Net Daily website performed a lengthy analysis and determined that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is not only electable – he’s basically the same as former President Ronald Reagan.

News editor Garth Kant said both conservatives were considered by “political and media elite” to be ideological extremists who lacked the intelligence, party backing, and apparent compassion to win the GOP nomination or the White House....

He reminded readers that The Nation once warned Reagan was “the most dangerous person ever to come this close to the presidency” and “a menace to the human race.”...

Both conservatives have been heavily criticized as lacking intellect, and Kant cites California’s Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown blasting Cruz as shockingly ignorant and “unfit to be running for office,” while Reagan was known as “an amiable dunce.”
