Sorry, no. I don't practice hero worship of elected officials, nor do I expect utter perfection from them. You, on the other hand, say you supported Cruz, but you flounced off in a fit of temper when he did the first thing you didn't agree with. And then decided to place your support behind a bloviating clown.
" “Cinderblock”? Can’t defend you mindless emotions and still can’t stop the name calling?"
That's right. Cinderblock. Dense. You refuse to listen to reason and continue to emote about the case of butthurt Ted Cruz inflicted on you.
" If Trump came with out with just one of the issues I listed about Cruz, I would criticize him just like I do Cruz. "
You won't even criticize him for the liberal stances I listed upthread.
"Incidentally, Reagan was originally a democrat."
Yes, he was. He had a genuine change of mind and heart, and he backed up his words with actions----plenty of them. Trump has done nothing but run his mouth. I can't believe you're actually comparing that idiot to Reagan...
" By the way, could you please justify Cruz on his vote for cloture of the trade bill? That is just one item. No name calling necessary."
All right. I'll start by telling you that, as a former Cruz supporter (if indeed you were), you should have known that he was always an advocate of free trade. He isn't flip-flopping on this, nor is the main takeaway that he "helped Obama", no matter how satisfying it might feel to screech it while in the middle of a temper fit.
Here (link to article below):
"Before the vote, Cruz said he was backing the package because it had economic repercussions back home.
'In my home state of Texas, there are over 2.2 million jobs that depend on exports," Cruz said. "Trade benefits farmers, it benefits ranchers, it benefits manufacturers. When we open up new markets across the globe, it creates jobs and economic growth and opportunity here at home.'
But Cruz was also careful to thread the needle between being pro-business and still being a vocal critic of the Obama administration. When asked if he trusted Obama to negotiate a trade deal, Cruz said that he believed the administration could "do very little," yet he was comfortable enough that Congress would have a vote on any deal the president negotiated.
'The next 20 months are going to be very dangerous. The Obama administration has proven to be the most lawless and abusive in history, but one of the few areas where this administration has been willing to support positive economic policies is in the area of international trade,' Cruz said, before going on to criticize his Democratic colleagues for standing in the way of TPA. Cruz jokingly classified President Obama's disagreement with those in his party like Sen. Elizabeth Warren as "Democrat-on-Democrat violence."

I waited for the vote on the trade bill. It was top secret. We don’t know what is in it. The senators who voted for it don’t know what is in it. The senators who voted for it are traitors; people who still back them are idiots. If you think that is “cinder block” thinking, you are brain dead.
