Just the ticket for the GOP: Cruz and Rubio Precis

                In Jonah Goldberg's op-ed Just the ticket for the GOP: Cruz and Rubio (November 3rd,

2015) he acknowledges that Cruz and Rubio are waiting patiently in their debates to strike at the

right moment. The author first exaggerates the debates by comparing it to a battle for districts, he

then criticizes Trump and Bush by comparing them to "Napoleon" and how they overextend what

they can handle; and to conclude he sheds light on Cruz and Rubios debates by giving exmaples of

what they said and there thought process going into the debates because they outperformed mostly

everyone. His purpose is to show readers the reason why and Cruz and Rubio debate this way and

why it is effective in order for Cruz and Rubio to get votes and popularity. He seems to have the

voters as his audience in mind because they are going to be voting for him.
