a lot of people associate that word with john lennon, who i suspect would not be a big ted cruz man,e he still alive. [laughter] >> that notion of imagine and thinking about a better future is the essence of optimism and i suspect we will hear that word throughout the campaign and in advertising. >> the question for a guy like this, ted cruz, who as we say has strengths and weaknesses, is whether you you open yourself up to parity. there are people who will parity himody him on the left. does this ring close enough to our image of ted cruz? we want to be visionary, but feel natural to the person. ted cruz has created a public image for himself in a limited time he has been in the senate not of that kind of person. he is trying to reframe himself in a certain way. the question is whether that will have traction and seem plausible within the republican party. >> he will go through iowa. we will see if that type of speech plays well with iowa voters. it involves beating people like rand paul, mike huckabee, rick santorum, scott walker, other candidates who will be appealing to the same
