Cruz is classy and smart every time he opens his mouth.
Brit, Rove, Fox....the cheerleading for Jeb has begun. They have made him the chosen one...
She was practically screaming at him over his answer to Common Core! She was pimping for Jeb....she and Brit had a cozy good time of it!
You do know that even had the trade bill passed, Obama’s agreements still have to be voted on ,up or down, by Congress.
Sure, you don't want Cruz so keep finding anything he says/does to try to knock him down, and vote for Trump IF he is on the ballot.
To all on this forum/thread: Some on this forum, every time Cruz makes a move to do anything, like take a drink of water, someone here says he has sold out or he's just like the rest of the bad guys on the Hill, or he's sure to open the borders for anyone, or he's not qualified, or his hair is too dark, or he's too short or too tall, or he's too educated, or he doesn't smile enough, or he's bound to sell us to Cuba, or he makes too many jokes, or he doesn't make enough jokes, or he's from Harvard, or he's a Canadian citizen, or he missed a vote on purpose so throw him out, or he voted for “x” so he's not fit to be president, or he didn't vote for “x”, so he's not fit to be president, or he's too handsome, or his nose is too sharp, or he wears cowboy boots, or he's too religious, or he loves his mother, or he has a blond wife, or he's bound to be on the take for money, or he's from Texas and who wants another Texan for president so dump him, or he's bound to have cheated to become a senator since the other candidate had more money to spend, or THERE IS SOME OTHER REASON WHY YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THAN HE IS.
There is no candidate who is perfect, but he comes very close to perfect and he has a reason why he does what he does. If you question a vote of his, go to his website to read why he votes the way he does. He will never sell out America, to even think that is ridiculous. If one thinks Cruz sold out on anything, that person doesn't know Cruz and is speaking from ignorance of not knowing his strategy and his goals for this country.
He is our hope to bring America from the brink of total disaster. Choose Hillary Clinton or Ted Cruz.
Cruz voted to give these dangerous America haters in the WH fast track authority !
I contributed to J. D. Hayworth's campaign in 2010 and have since ended up on many Republican PAC and candidate emails lists, including Ted Cruz, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, John Bolton, Michele Bachmann, and several other prominent Republicans.
Lots of email list donating or selling going on.
I’m not for the Trade deal either. Sessions said yesterday that two senators have actually read it, and that he (Sessions) is against it.
Can’t think of any legislation I would be *for* so long as Bark Obama is in office and that the approving McConnell is *for*. These are two shifty characters.
Sessions has been a hound dog on legislation, given up a lot to bear bad tidings on what is really on the dotted line. He has sought no fame or fortune in digging through the details and I trust him.
No one claims they know everything that is in it, but evidently some kernel has been made available for the boobs to sign off on and still smell good. Later we will find out what stinks about it. After it passes.
However, I like Cruz. He will not purposely break the country and except for surprising me on this Trade Bill, he has my support as my number one candidate.
I can vote for any of them over Hillary, but the good doctor and the daring Trump would give me a case of nerves.
At least they are not Romney, or McCain, or Dole— each who lost without my vote.

That's what I'm looking for. Exactly which bill number is being complained about... not some vague 'that bill'

Should have copied you to my post 46.
only the cloture vote matters.
Filibuster still rules.
That's why Cruz and Rand and Rubio wanted this cloture vote ram thru fast so they can then vote against it when it does not matter,
Why isn't Cruz , Paul and Rubio fighting against this disastrous bill?
Ask yourself why ?
The big cash donors to the Pres campaign want it so they can ram thru amnesty .

Jeb was saying in the interview with Megan Kelly that the damndable Common Core was meant to be run by the states and that it applies to only Math and Science, contrary to the rumor that it includes Social Science, which it does not.
He said the Common Core math reasoning is meant to prepare more students for taking Algebra and touted the Florida success among black students as well as all students who led the nation in proficiency, or something like that.
There are reams of video of little grade school girls and boys bursting into tears trying to do their homework in Common Core math. It is the saddest thing I ever saw. Something doesn’t fit, between what Jeb said and the reality on the ground. I hate everything I know about Common Core.
Why then didn’t Kelly give him an example of the ridiculous math problems that stump even the top tier math students? That was on video also for anyone to see.
It would be nice to be wrong about this. The USA is way below par in Math and Science and truly something needs to change, but the proof of the pain it causes can be seen and makes students despise Math.
This was never a problem in the colonial days when eleven year olds could serve as secretaries in France for their diplomat fathers. See the story of President Adams, I believe it was. What happen was we ceded our kids to the Lefty academics and never put a stop to the intentional dumbing down happening all around us in public education.
My tagline works here.
“I’m raising $50,000 for Cruz.”
Donated $100 yesterday. That’s a start and we have a long way to go until we get to primary season, spring of 2016. You hang in and I’ll hang in, and Cruz will hang in and together, it’ll be Cruz on the ballot for President in November, 2016, then, it’ll be the inauguration of President Cruz in January, 2017. Let’s keep rolling, Vet, keeping our eyes on the prize - the saving of this country.
You expect to learn something from TV?
Forget it. Surface only. Desperate hope that a candidate will say something that causes a firestorm. Nothing of substance will be discussed in any detail. Everyone in media wants some scalps hanging from their belts.
So many gotcha questions, so little time.
Thank you for saying what needed to be said.
My God. The probable Democratic Candidate is responsible for the slaughter of many including the Benghazi people she hung out to dry, Vince Foster, Whitewater, lied under oath, wiped her server clean.
And yet she is still on her way to the nomination.
On our side, a Congressman have a vote or 2 in the tens of thousands of votes they take in a career and it’s “he’s a sellout, he just lost my vote, this was an issue breaker, blah blah blah.”
Everything seems to be an issue breaker with someone with an agenda to knock another candidate down.
I’m in the Cruz camp until this ride ends, hopefully at the WH. If some of you people can’t see that this is the best, most articulate, must fully prepared candidate we’ve ever had to work for since Reagan, then either you are purposely blinding yourself or you have an agenda for someone else.
“Looking at the posting history of that other poster, I don’t think there was ever a vote for Cruz in there.”
You are correct, this has been going on for some time, welcome to the party.
It was annoying. I wanted to hear Cruz only. Why didn’t she do what she did to Cruz to Bush. Make Bush comment on the actual declared candidates positions during the whole interview. FOX news has always been in the tank for Jeb.
Where should I send my complaints?
