The exact qualities that set them apart from the field trip them up eventually over the long haul of a presidential campaign.It's Ted Cruz's ramrod devotion to principle--or, its flip side, an unyielding insistence on getting his way--that could propel him to the front ranks of Republican contenders for president or render him unelectable.In this series of eBooks, The Washington Post is exploring in-depth all these key characteristics of the leading presidential contenders, the very characteristics that could help make one of them the country's next commander in chief--or forever sink their presidential ambitions. 517 $a2016 Contenders 700 $aFisher$b Marc$01436836 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149760003321 996 $aThe 2016 Contenders: Ted Cruz$93596304 997 $aUNINA
