BOMBSHELL: Ted Cruz Makes Plan To DROP OUT OF THE RACE!
The Politidcal Insider ^ | 2/29/16 | Kosar

Posted on 02/29/2016 9:56:28 AM PST by Blood of Tyrants

A long-time political insider just made a bombshell announcement about conservative Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), who is running for President.

This Republican operative, who has worked on 9 different presidential cycles, couldn’t keep it quiet any longer after being in talks with key leaders of Cruz’s and Senator Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) campaigns.

The insider is Roger Stone. He once worked for Donald Trump, and passed along his report to a popular radio host that Cruz used a high-priced attorney to confidentially request that Rubio’s team promise Cruz a Supreme Court appointment in exchange for Cruz exciting the race. This is in addition to recent reports that the candidates’ wives have been in contact, discussing why someone dropping out is essential.

If Cruz were be named to the Supreme Court, that would be more important than him being the President for the good of the nation.

If Cruz drops out, then his choice is either to:
1) Endorse Trump
2) Endorse Rubio
3) Refuse to endorse at all.
or
4) Endorse Hillary

I don't expect that from Cruz but can see Jeb! or Rubio doing it. Hillary knows how DC "is supposed to work" and those 2 along with a lot of others don't want any changes.

So no we refer to the most ardant supporters of the conservative/Tea-Party cause as “sleaze”?

That’ll get the base up for the general.

No base? Meet Senate Majority leader Charles Schumer. Ya, he'll surely fund the wall, deportations, and confirm a conservative justice.

Thicker than Kentucky Fried Molasses.

Don’t buy it.

For one thing if the Democrats know of this deal they’ll circle the wagons and filibuster Cruz till Haley’s Comet comes back.

“Probably the only logical choice at this time since the GOPe is now putting all their eggs into the Rubio basket.”

Except such a plan assumes ALL Cruz’s votes go to Rubio. They won’t.

It’s a trick, but it won’t work. Cruz enough time to refute it.

So let me get this straight, Cruz is a sleaze because someone on his staff spread rumors that Carson was dropping out of the race in Iowa.

Now Trump’s agent is doing the same thing to Cruz before Super Tuesday. What does that make Trump?

How do you all feel about these lightweights’ wives negotiating their political futures for them?

Sounds creepy to me.

I heard from a source (don’t know how reliable at all) that Ted has no events scheduled for after Tues. Can you confirm or deny?

I heard, from something called the Internet, that Ted has stuff in Ohio planned for March 5th.

A google search reveals this Roger Stone as very anti-Cruz and pro Trump. I did not look in great detail, but that is the general impression. This is spite. It is not based on any media report or anything. Spite and dishonesty.
