Robert Costa writes at National Review:
Freshman senator Ted Cruz is considering a presidential run, according to his friends and confidants.
Cruz won’t talk about it publicly, and even privately he’s cagey about revealing too much of his thought process or intentions. But his interest is undeniable.
"If you don’t think this is real, then you’re not paying attention," says a Republican insider. "Cruz already has grassroots on his side, and in this climate, that’s all he may need."
"There’s not a lot of hesitation there," adds a Cruz donor who has known the Texan for decades. "He’s fearless."
