Wait. Trumpkins think Cruz is the candidate of the GOP-e, or they parrot Trump’s rhetoric that Cruz is a “Trojan Horse.” He can’t be both. But then again Trumpian logic is in a class by itself.

Yes, he can be both GOPe and a Trojan horse, the two go hand in hand. He doesn’t want to appear as establishment, he wants to look like an outsider to appeal to the anti establishment crowd. But in reality he grew up working for Bush back in 2000, and he even hired scum bag Neil Bush as his campaign finance advisor.

So he would like to appear he’s out there for the common middle class, but he is just another Bush and Goldman Sachs operative...oh, but somehow he forgot to put the big loan he got from them on his campaigns finance forms when first running...yeah, I’m not buying that. He’s a lawyer, he doesn’t forget paperwork.

Ted Cruz: “[B]oth parties, career politicians in both parties get in bed with the lobbyist and special interest. And the fix is in. Where Washington’s policies benefit big business, benefit the rich and the powerful at the expense of the working men and women.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz
Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz (born December 22, 1970) is an American politician and the junior United States Senator from Texas. He is a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 election.

Cruz graduated from Princeton University in 1992, and from Harvard Law School in 1995. Between 1999 and 2003, he was the Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission, an Associate Deputy Attorney General at the United States Department of Justice, and domestic policy advisor to George W. Bush on the 2000 George W. Bush presidential campaign. He served as Solicitor General of Texas, from 2003 to 2008, appointed by Texas Attorney General, Greg Abbott. He was the first Hispanic, and the longest-serving, Solicitor General in Texas history. From 2004 to 2009, Cruz was also an adjunct professor at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin, where he taught U.S. Supreme Court litigation.

Cruz ran for the Senate seat vacated by fellow Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison, and in July 2012, defeated Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst, during the Republican primary runoff, 57%–43%. Cruz then defeated former state Representative Paul Sadler in the November 2012 general election, winning 56%–41%. He is the first Hispanic American to serve as a U.S. senator representing Texas, and is one of three senators of Cuban descent. He chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, Federal Rights and Agency Activities and is also the chairman of the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Space, Science and Competitiveness. In November 2012, he was appointed vice-chairman of the National Republican senatorial committee.

Cruz began campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination in March 2015. During the primary campaign, his base of support has mainly been among social conservatives, though he has had crossover appeal to other factions within his party, including libertarian conservatives. His victory in the February 2016 Iowa caucuses marked the first time a Hispanic person won a presidential caucus or primary.

Seems like a “career politician” pretending to be an “outsider” by being obnoxious to his colleagues. This “restorer of the Republic” on the outside, and GOP-e on the inside is similar to the “Trojan Horse”: Gift on the outside, Greeks on the inside.

There is, however, one thing of which Ted Cruz can’t be both! Either Ted Cruz is a original-intent Constitutionalist and therefore ineligible to be President
or he is a living-document Constitutionalist and eligible to be President.
It is one or the other, but it can’t be both.
