Would he be the only one on he SCOTUS? You are spewing bullsh*t. Knock it off...now!

just tryin' to figure out what you mean.

are you saying it's ok for him to be wrong because he's not the only one on the court? Because that's just stupid.

The SCOTUS in never “wrong”. It is the law of the land.

Well then, that would explain why the court has never reversed a decision.

No offense, you're not worth talking to     :)

Nite!

I didn't write this, so please address the issues in the piece.

Everyone does, but each person needs somebody to act as discussion intitiaor/leader to whom they can direct their observations. Usually, whether agreeing with the article or not, the poster serves that function, whether or not he/she answers the replies or not.

This is a nice post, so help manage it, eh? Your job is to find discussible articles and post them, not necessarily to like the author's position.

If you’ve listened to what he has said regarding Trump’s appointments, he is a VERY GOOD and important senate ally.

He did a lot of dumb things. But he’s 44, I think, and maybe the 69 year old Trump can learn him a thing or two :)

In case you haven’t been paying attention, there’s not too many conservatives in the republican senate.

Cruz is one of them. His conservative ratings among reputable sources is in the high 90s.

Giuliani didn’t get picked for anything. Still, he’s an important ally and friend to the President Elect.

If EVERYONE who wasn’t picked for something interpreted that as not being liked by Trump, we’d be in a lot of ####ing trouble.

I always get a laugh when someone responds “you’re an idiot”, meaning the author of the piece. Yet the original poster takes great offense at that comment as if it were meant for them.

goes to show his judgement problems of his own mind that he would run when ineligible.

we got enough useless fools on the SC we don’t need a guy who picks and chooses which parts of our constitution he will abide with or stomp on.

"It's not going to happen, Teddy. Live w/ it."

Cruz is getting to be really annoying..... he keeps throwing himself out there, desperately hoping something'll stick.

Pres Trump gave him the chance at the convention....but Cruz's obsession w/ himself was never more evident. Again and again, he refused to endorse Trump.

Some astute observers have said Cruz's convention speech was a gross miscalculation. In his self-absorbed mind, he thought he was reliving one of Ronald Reagan’s great moments, and that the speech would establish HIM as the conservative standard-bearer going forward, but the convention hall didn’t buy it, nor did the country.

Perhaps the worst signal came later, after his speech, when Cruz tried to visit the suite of mega-GOP donor Sheldon Adelson........ Cruz was denied entry.

Not surprised. Ted has always wanted to be president, unfortunately he lacks personal warmth and will never achieve it.

I will take him as an ally. If he can knock some sense into little Marco it would be a bonus

Cruz is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bush, Inc.

...would have simultaneously eliminated Trump’s chief adversary...

Lincoln did this with Salmon P. Chase.

Cruz's abysmal failure to endorse Trump at the convention told me all I had to know. He is emotionally under-developed. He is EXACTLY the kind of individual totally unsuited for POTUS or SCOTUS.

Cruz is emotionally under-developed.

That sums it up right there. Kudos.

2ndDV is one of the best and most productive news gatherer that I’ve seen contribute to FR, and I respect him greatly. I’d like to know just how many articles he has dug up for us. It’s got to be a lot—hundreds at least, I would guess. No braggart or self-important type. A real gent.

Well, I’m going to yell at you anyway!!!

Just kidding.

He may be a political “creature” but he’s a regional one, I think. But if he can defund the UN, I’ll be very happy to forgive his New York values crack!

So you suspect Cruz was talking to Politico without Trump’s knowledge?

His performance at the convention might have gone over better if the NY delegation hadn’t given him a very loud Bronx cheer, lol! Total miscalculation on his part.

I have that problem with another person who posts a lot of articles. She always thinks I’m talking to her, lol!

I think lying Ryan's presidential aspirations are on a par with those of Ted Cruz....whatever it takes.

Nails it. Nice take.

Pres Trump needs to put these guys in their place w/out delay.

Ryan keeps acting like HE'S president....and Cruz is acting delusional.......
cant accept the fact that he screwed-up his political chances at anything.
