It's just a copy of some terrible AP article. I hate this line:



Even while the Texas congressman is earning support for his tightfisted fiscal positions, he's so out of step with the Republican mainstream on foreign policy and some key domestic issues that even his most loyal aides doubt he can use his momentum to win the Republican nomination.


Why does the campaign staff give these reporters ammo? They should be strongly fighting against the 'he can't win' narrative, not helping it along.

Likely because they are a figment of the reporter's imagination.

You do have a point since there is no quote in the article to back that statement up. Seems like that has to be against some sort of journalistic standard...Oh wait, we're talking about the Associated Press here.
