First relatively quiet day out of the Cruz camp is 2 weeks. Probably getting a good night’s sleep and getting back at it tomorrow.

Good article about Ted. Discusses question of why Ted remains popular and fills up seats at events. Asserts answer is what we’ve known all along, that he is anti-establishment and has been since the beginning. People trust Ted, they know he speaks the truth.

McConnell and his gang are going to greatly regret their lies to Senator Cruz.

Cruz got repeat standing ovations at the AFP summit last night vs Bush who got what was described as “polite applause”. LOL

As president I suspect that McConnell and Boehner would become so marginalized that they would step down from their leadership positions if not resign their seats altogether.

That is what we all want. If Trump or Cruz became president I would think Bonehead and McWaffle would read the writing on the wall and not run again for speaker of the house or majority leader in the senate.

Your kind are garbage.

[ballearthout]

Everybody is walking around on eggshells about Cruz because of supporters like you. I’ll take the heat. But this is an election season, and he must be vetted too.

[cripplecreek]

How is bashing Heidi Cruz vetting him troll boy?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Here’s one.

This is a good read.

I hope Boehner gets fired by “the Vacate the Chair” motion that he will have to face when he comes back in September.

But McConnell is a corrupt chameleon that will smile and bend over for whoever he thinks he needs to bend over for. Can’t stand the guy. Cruz has said in the past he will get in writing anything McConnell tells him. McConnell is not to be trusted at all.

Thiel is listed as a member of the steering committee of the Bilderberg group, which stages a yearly gathering that brings together influential world leaders in politics, business and other fields to discuss international affairs. The secret meetings have prompted protests by activists who allege they are being staged to create a new world order and capitalist domination.

Now that's interesting...

I’ve been doing some research on Cruz tonight because there’s always been something about him that bugs me, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. After tonight, I am completely suspicious of him. There’s a lot of information out there. Just look on how he dealt with the TPP a few months back. It really stinks. Being a successful, high profile lawyer, he is naturally an intelligent, powerful speaker. But even he slips up on occasion, or his wife slips up, on who they really are: two Bushies in a pod. Cruz, in my opinion, wants to be one of the first presidents of the North American Union, the ultimate defeat of our sovereignty. This North American Union actually has its roots in the Reagan administration, was continued with Bush 41 pushing NAFTA and Bill Clinton signing it. Bush 43 began the work on the North American Union, the plan to combine USA, Canada, and Mexico into one nation. This would explain why Ted wanted so many MORE foreign workers in this country. In my opinion, his new language parroting Trump is just hogwash. I think he is a stealth candidate for the Bush wing of the Republican party. Controlled opposition throwing red meat to the evangelicals, like what he’s doing now cheerleading for religious freedom and protecting Christian values. I mean, who can argue with that? But, I see it as just a way to stay out of Trump’s way while all the bloodletting is going on. Speaking of which, I could go on and on, and I’m going to stop here. Bed time. lol

But here’s an article that has some good links about Cruz.

I think the superman poster with Ted’s face photoshopped in has given you a false impression. Like it or not, and though we haven’t seen this in awhile, Congress (McConnell and Boehner) is an equal branch of government. What’s Ted going to do, write a bunch of executive orders to circumvent them? We’ve already seen that movie.

I certainly can't...Ted has the testimony of a Christian...Plus Ted has been pushing the Constitution/Bill of Rights for years...And those things don't go along with a North American Union...

But at this stage of the game it probably doesn't make much difference...Which candidate is not supportive of a The New World Order/One world gov't??? Trump and Cruz are the only 2 who seem to be pro-America...And if they are, good for America...If they aren't, we lose no matter which one of the bunch becomes President...

I realize that a lot of you clowns who crawled up out of the slime to attack Ted Cruz aren't terribly bright but It doesn't take a genius to understand that McConnell and Boehner themselves aren't congress. They're two congressmen who are no more or less than any other congressman and there is no constitutional requirement for a president to go to them if they want to deal with congress.

Maybe you messianic Trumpites should explain why you think congress is just going to roll over and let Saint Donald do as he pleases.

[cripplecreek]

So how do you feel about knowing that Saint Donald has been lying about accepting donations?

While he's been feeding you a line of BS about not taking large donations, he's been attending big money fundraisers himself.

Donald Trump attended big-donor fundraiser last month
