It’s totally logical within itself.

Work with Trump. No, Lyn’ Ted worked with McCain to kill repeal. No lies can change that fact that Lyn’ Ted threw in with McCain, not Trump.

First of all, they didn’t bring the bill up for a vote.

Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Mike Lee are trying to get Obamacare repealed. Really repealed. This bill wasn’t repeal.

McCain and his cohorts are trying to keep Obamacare in place. Completely different thing.

Merely the fact that the RINO leadership and the president thrown their weight behind something doesn’t make it good. Remember, Trump endorsed that disaster ACHA and endorsed Strange over Moore.

The evidence of Cruz’ Trump hatred surfaces any time Ted sees a media opening. For example, when Soros paid protestors to be violent at a Trump rally, Cruz jumped on the Soros bandwagon and blamed Trump.

More recently Soros-backed protestors in Charlottesville engaged in violent actions. Trump blamed BOTH sides for the violence, even though most of the violence was on the Left. Predictably, Cruz jumped on the Soros bandwagon in order to take another swipe at Trump. Cruz saw the media going into their anti-Trump blood-in-the-water shark routine, and he just couldn’t resist.

Cruz threw in with the establishmentt at the end of the primary in order to thwart the people’s choice. He never really supported Trump for the win over Hillary. Hillary?!? What else is there to say? You people are in a cult.

I’ll never trust the Canadian - he showed his lack of ethics in the primaries.

Ted Cruz was obviously for Ted Cruz . By the very nature of a primary he had to oppose Trump if was going to win. Now that the election is over can the deranged Cruz haters stop and consider that Cruz has a very consistant record of voting conservative? Reserve your hate for someone who deserves it, like Democrats.

The real Trump Enablers are the 62 million ++ voters who put him into the White House for a variety of reasons.

In 2020, that number of voters will be even higher.

1. Ted endorsed Donald.

2. McConnell on Trump’s nomination: “Thank God it wasn’t Cruz.”

Maybe, technically he did, but it was very very late right at the last minute and it was very weak. Cruz sure didn’t endorse Trump at the Republican National Convention when the nation was watching when it mattered. He sure didn’t help Trump in any meaningful way while the nation was staring down the barrel of a Hillary presidency. Cruz is the Gope “house conservative”. It’s a game and the laugh has been on us for years.

You really should stop posting on this, as you just make yourself look more and more ridiculous with every post.

I understand that you hate Ted Cruz. Probably all teh other constitutionalist officeholders too. But virtually everything you say about Ted is just plain wrong and out of touch with reality.

It’s people who put personalities ahead of principles that have made a mess of the GOP. But that is what you seem to be doing.

Just a weird reply on so many levels. You need to be deprogrammed. Cruz did a number on you.

Ok, so you don’t get it. Not surprising. Are you a bot?

And perhaps you ought to deprogram Steve Bannon.

Cruz should absolutely be primaried. I guess there are enough cruzbots still left out there like yourself that Bannon doesn’t want to risk any infighting among “conservatives”. A lot of you guys didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 and Hillary almost won. It’s pure political calculation and it’s got nothing to do with Cruz conservative bonifides.

It has everything to do with Cruz's conservative bona fides. They guy is one of only 3 senators to vhe a lifetime 100 percent rating. One of 3. That's not a guy you want to take out.
