LOL....hooray for NY.
I think 2DV has something considerably more urgent to attend to...

He’s a globalist snake, and he has proven beyond any doubt, reasonable or otherwise, that his judgement is absolutely atrocious.
There’s no excuse to continue to be fooled by this man.
Cruz's recent statements during the confirmation process have been spot on.
I have still ignored Cruz's pleas for donations (I'm on his lists because of my early financial support) but will likely send a little if it looks like he is in trouble against any Democrat challenger (unlikely with Texas but possible in this topsy-turvy world) but would hesitate if another Conservative Republican was showing signs of making it.
Many have totally written Cruz off permanently but he still has a lot of potential.
Give Cruz credit that he legitimately is working for this country now and policies that are good for it. There’s bitterness with Graham and McCain where at times it’s them betraying what they have been for just to enjoy attention or make things difficult.
I was very disappointed in Cruz after his convention speech. I wrote him off at that point. But I also acknowledge human growth and redemption. I believe Cruz is in the process of becoming Trump’s most loyal ally in the Senate. He will be valuable in that role. To me, politics is the lowest, filthiest of all human endeavors. So I will not hold what Cruz did last summer against him forever. Lower muck than he have been raised up by the Almighty. But I will keep everything he did during the campaign in mind.
Another one! Lyn’ Ted. VERY DOUBTFUL that PRESIDENT-elect Trump likes Lyn’ Ted. Not in a nice way that is. Who around likes Lyn’ Ted. No one but a couple die-hard fanatics here on FR. He’s everything Trump is not—First, a Natural Born Canadian, a serial liar, father of daughter that literally cringes from him, etc. Lyn’ Ted is CREEPY. PRESIDENT-elect Trump is not. Trump WON, elections have consequences. Lyn’ Ted was exposed for who he realy is and deservedly lost. Good riddance.
Perhaps it's time to let bygones be bygones between the two camps. If these two individuals are willing to work together for the greater good, then certainly their supporters should be willing as well.
Having said that, I still have lingering questions regarding Senator Cruz's Presidential eligibility, and, as we know, Republicans simply don't have the luxury of ignoring such issues the way the Democrats do.
It's time to bury the hatchet...
Cruz and Trump were also allies early on, even appearing at that anti-Iran agreement in DC about a year ago. Some of their views also were similar on for example, immigration.
Yes, I know. My reply to that is in there somewhere along the line. But thanks!
He would have a much greater influence from the SCOTUS bench than more losing attempts at national office.
As long as Cruz keeps up his recent behavior as a defender of Trump's cabinet picks, and the Trump agenda, my hatchet is gone, gone, gone. Deep in some old log.
I'm glad he's returning to common sense conservatism.
Personally, I think Cruz is setting the stage as the “good guy” so he can keep his name in the front, hopefully convincing people that he IS a good guy so they will vote for him when he runs for president the next time. He would be smart to consider that SCOTUS position as I do NOT see him becoming POTUS.

No, he would have 4 liberals eager to help him gut the protections of the natural born citizen clause in perpetuity.
Hear! Hear!
I second that and thank him for his input to the conversations here.
I am still a supporter of Ted Cruz.
Nobody has to agree with me.
I would love to see him in the Supreme Court. I believe his strong views about America are important to defend and protect from all those liberals; plus his exceptional knowledge of the law.
Ted just made one fatal error .. he allowed another person with suspicious links to sanity .. convince Cruz that he was the “chosen one” to run for President. That was false.
You should never allow another person (sometimes even a family member) to tell you GOD has called you to do anything. The key is to learn to hear from GOD yourself - first - and then allow GOD to also encourage you by connecting with people who agree with your plans.
However, I never believed Cruz would stay in that place .. and I’m glad to see he has figured a lot of it out.
Wasting time hating people is just STUPID.
“Until he renders a decision that a child born to a Palestinian father and an American mother in Saudi Arabia is a natural born citizen eligible to be President...”
Funny, very true, but useless involving a True Believer Cruz-bot.
Remember the Consistent Conservative meme? As if he has been around long enough to establish the veracity of that, and despite voting for TPA, etc.
Most of us Trump supporters are so for what Trump has accomplished and for what he espouses, among other things. Cruz-bots are so merely for Cruz’s state of being, an assigned state of being.
My reply #59 to Paul R. post #42 was not anything about Cruz. It was a response ti the link to another thread. So your comment here on #53 is not relevant to the issue in view regarding 2ndDV.
I would love to see Cruz on the court but I really think a few republicans like McCain would try to shoot him down. No democrat would vote for him. Just my view. Also I don’t think he will have a problem being re-elected. Not making a endorsement at the convention was his big goof but I think that is in the past for most folks
