I don't know if using screwing rabbits was the best example, but what he was trying to suggest is that Cruz engaged in overreach.

“In nature, there are boom and bust cycles,” Castellanos continued. “The snowshoe hare, every ten years, multiplies six fold.”

“Are you high?” Cooper wondered.

“I’m high,” Castellanos admitted. “I wish I was. The snowshoe hare — I thought it’s a marvelous explanation — every ten years, multiplies six fold. Bunnies like sex apparently. But the boom produces a bust. They press their food supply, they invite predators.”

“Right now, Ted Cruz, what’s he’s doing, feels good,” the GOP strategist added. “He’s growing his supporters. It’s leading the Republican Party, I think, into a bust.”


“I think you’re digging a ditch, Alex,” Cooper pointed out.

But Castellanos wasn’t finished offering analogies: “Ted Cruz just drove the entire Republican Party through a car wash in a convertible and everybody got wet but him.”
