Chris Matthews Makes His Case That Ted Cruz Is ‘Enemy of the State’ and ‘Scarier Than Trump’
The Blaze ^ | December 23, 2015 | Kate Scanlon

During an appearance yesterday on MSNBC, “Hardball” host Chris Matthews said that if progressives weren’t so consumed with discussing the antics of Donald Trump, they’d realize that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is a “scarier” candidate for president.

“I expect if [Trump] keeps in there fighting against somebody like Cruz they’re going to realize something that really is scary to most moderates and progressives, that Cruz is scarier than Trump and that will be a frightening prospect to realize that Trump is the more – well, he’s not acceptable to progressives, but when you look at him against Cruz,” Matthews said.

“I mean, Cruz, if we weren’t talking about Trump, we’d be talking about the horror of this country possibly being led by Cruz,” Matthews continued. “So, it’s a strange competition and the people that are left out of this, it seems, are what used to be called the Republican establishment.”(continued)

Being an enemy of THIS state is like being on Nixon’s “hate list” - It’s a badge of honor.

When the primaries finally arrive at my state, the likely determining factor of whether Cruz or Trump gets my vote will probably hinge on which candidate seems to truly drive the libs into the most genuinely deep, psychotic, suicidal rage. And ditto the GOP-E.

I guess Chrissy doesn’t get a tingle out of Ted like he did from Barry Soetoro. It sounds like Chrissy might be a “rasis”.

It’s amazing how liberals can’t stand good morals and character.

They literally run, screaming, from a godly man.

When Trump opens up with both barrels at Hillary’s corruption/crimes AND when he calls out the media figure heads that enabled her there will be a hell storm brought to their doorstep.

Justice is coming.

Ted Cruz is the enemy of the tyrannical state, the enemy of the state-god idol and the enemy of the socialist/fascist/Fabian state.

Ted Cruz is the champion of the Constitutionally limited state, the champion of liberty that comes from limited government and the blessings of a strong defense, he is the champion of the morality that leads to prosperity and liberty.

Cruz 2016!

The left, if it could, would murder their enemies and throw the rest in forced labor camps. So they project their own morbid fantasies on the other side. That is the reason why they’re so terrified of the conservative right.

Several weeks or more ago he was openly rooting for Cruz. I actually heard him say flattering things about Cruz , saying that he was the winner of debates etc, No I never bought it for a moment!

BTW Cruz is my guy, my first choice, but people need to wake up, some of the press are disingenuously supporting Cruz, dont fall for it.

They are only using Cruz to bring Trump down, if they ever accomplish that, Cruz is next.

Different factions are celebrating polls that are only designed for the MSM agenda, no I wont elaborate, it`s obvious.

Nowadays, if you're not an enemy of THIS state, you're an enemy of the U.S. Constitution.

If Sissy Mathews think Cruz is scarier than Trump, that tells me I'm voting for the right guy...Cruz

That alone should give you Trump fanboys pause to think...

Wow, isn’t “Enemy of the State” a legal term? If I am not mistaken, calling a respected Senator this legal term is “actionable”. I would go for every penny Chrissy has!
