I used to think of myself as more or less a conservative, but if Cruz is the epitome of conservatives then I must be something else.

Conservative Republican Movement Is Brain Dead

Hey! F*** you!

[DiogenesLamp]

And what position does he hold that is not conservative?

[Texas Eagle]

Don’t make us come back over there!

[Blue Jays]

Go Donald Trump! Go Ted Cruz! Defeat Hillary Clinton!
Either of those gentlemen will make a far, far superior POTUS than her.

[SERKIT]

Conservative Republicans are alive and well, but have been screwed by the RINO GOPe and the jellyfish-spined RINOs in Congress. Reince will be presiding over the funeral of one big-ass elephant in Cleveland.

but if Cruz is the epitome of conservatives then I must be something else.

Yeah. Paid shill, luddite, liberal, progressive - could be many things.

The “conservative movement” could only go so far. Time for a “Freedom Movement” - individual and state freedom from unconstitutional government, economic freedom from government interference, and spiritual freedom in knowing and growing in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[SampleMan]

There was a time when a Freeper wouldn’t go to a Socialist rag to find comfort.

Cruz can be criticized for a lot of things, but dumb he is not. Please post this crap on DU where it belongs.

The Democrats are putting up their weakest candidate in a generation and what’s the response from a plurality the Republican base? Donald Trump, who is the most disliked candidate EVER. But it’s Conservatives who are brain dead? Guess that’s what we get for thinking beyond a 5th grade level.

[Leto]

You are correct sir, let me add if you are a trump supporter you are not a conservative.

[Leto]

You are correct sir, let me add if you are a trump supporter you are not a conservative.

[Cyman]

Yes you are something else.

"Cruz may be the only Republican presidential aspirant who is dumber than Hillary Clinton."

This is nonsense. I am a Trump supporter and I've lost a lot of trust in Ted as an anti-establishment conservative but the man is a brilliant lawyer and a very smart individual. Harvard Prof. Lawrence Tribe called Ted one of the most intelligent students he ever taught. One can be unprincipled, overly ambitious, dishonest and sneaky and still be brilliant. To call him "dumber" than Hillary is just complete BS.

[jennychase]

Any candidate supported by NRO, Rush Limbaugh, Levin, Bush, Lindsay are GOPe. There only interest is to make money for themselves.

[Sybeck1]

Everybody wants Ted, Right? Right?

[sparklite2]

From the comments ...

It’s always been a mystery to me, that the POTUS candidates are supposed to be the best available from 350M people.

---

The commenter confuses electability with competence. It takes a special kind of egoist to seek the presidency in the first place, which drops the 350M considerably. Add in charisma, sociability, and lust for power, and you still aren’t centered over “best.”

[snarkpup]

Cruz may be the only Republican presidential aspirant who is dumber than Hillary Clinton.

Comparing Hillary's barking with Ted's Elmer Gantry routines, I do not think there is a clear winner.

That said, I do not believe the "birther" stuff, which is about all there is in the article, is going anywhere.

You’re something else, no doubt.
