This piece by Jonathan Martin in the NYT says some Republican party establishment donors and leaders now agree with Ted Cruz's assessment of the 2016 U.S. presidential election- the critical element will be rallying the Republican base to win in 2016. As Tom Hamburger points out in the Washington Post, Cruz is using technology to advantage in the campaign effort to rally evangelical base support, and working to build support from the ground up.

U.S. presidential candidate Ted Cruz and the Republican party establishment- support for Cruz from those who believe it is critical to rally the Republican base to win in 2016

01/13/2016

U.S. presidential candidate Ted Cruz is gaining support from establishment donors and supporters. Some donors and Republican party experts agree with Cruz's assessment of previous elections lost by the Republican party- a critical element in the loss was the failure to rally the party faithful, including its evangelical base of support. By turning out in higher numbers, and by gaining the support of independents, and the white working class which today supports Donald Trump, this view holds that the Republican party could overcome other obstacles to win in the 2016 presidential election. Cruz held his own state of Texas winning by 17 percentage points, and won in Oklahoma, Alaska, Idaho, Wyoming, after winning the Iowa caucuses. By March 2016 violence prone minority hate rhetoric against minorities at Trump rallies had separated responsible voices in the Republican party from the Trump efforts to divide the party.
