During an appearance yesterday on MSNBC, âHardballâ host Chris Matthews said that if progressives werenât so consumed with discussing the antics of Donald Trump, theyâd realize that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is a âscarierâ candidate for president.
âI expect if [Trump] keeps in there fighting against somebody like Cruz theyâre 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 â well, heâs not acceptable to progressives, but when you look at him against Cruz,â Matthews said.
âI mean, Cruz, if we werenât talking about Trump, weâd be talking about the horror of this country possibly being led by Cruz,â Matthews continued. âSo, itâs a strange competition and the people that are left out of this, it seems, are what used to be called the Republican establishment.â(continued)

Cruz gives Matthews a warm, squishy feeling running down his pants.
Anyone who isn’t an enemy of this state is an Americanphope.

There is NO candidate with more personal integrity, personal Christian faith, or more genuine love for people than Mr. Cruz. If that's what repels Chris Matthews, then I have a complete understanding now of what kind of person Chris Matthews is.
And Matthews would not be happy that he's exposed himself for the kind of person he is.

Imagine now Trump and Cruz working together! A two fisted political machine -—As Erine Ford once sang “One fist of Iron, the other one Steel—If the left one doesn’t get ya, the right one will.”

They should be very afraid...with Obama, Pelosi and Reid progressivism has peaked.

Of course Cruz is scarier to Matthews. Cruz moreso than any other candidate, arguably moreso than any Republican politician, has fought and spoke out against every thing he believes.

Enemy of the state. Odd thing to say.

Sorry. I don’t set much store in “Old Tingles”. It’s the
right time of the year for “Old Chris Tingles”!

Since the state has proven itself the enemy of the people, it is right to be an enemy of the state.

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. "When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." - Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, or James Madison, depending on who you ask.

Chrissy the “thrill” might want to explain himself.
Ted Cruz is a family man that believes in the Nation.
What does Chrissy believe in?

Matthews is an idiot. I am not the biggest conservative you well ever meet and I am definitely not the most religious but I sure don’t have a problem with Cruz.
