Cruz calls McCain an American Hero
Ted Cruz ^ | 7/19/2015 | Ted Cruz

Posted on 07/19/2015 5:52:22 PM PDT by usafa92

John McCain is an American hero. Although we have some policy disagreements, I'm proud to serve alongside him.

I did a search for this and didn't see anything. Most of the candidates have some statement of support for McCain on their FB pages with the exception of Jeb, obviously he's been designated to stay above the fray. While Ted doesn't bash Trump in any way, it's still disappointing to see this statement, especially since McCain has been nothing short of ugly to Ted. The FB comments to Ted are not kind.

Just proves Cruz to be a better man than McCain.

Trump was responding for an insult.
Not Cruz’s fight

Oh, come on, what was he supposed to say?

Cruz always demonstrates class and, as another below said, it isn’t his fight.

The Bush family hates McCain. That’s why W. was happy to see him beat by Obama. AND considers Obama a brother.

“Wow, the Trumpbots will go after Cruz now.”

Haven’t you heard? Trump is the only true conservative in the race! Cruz is just showing his GOPe true colors here.

(Is the /sarc even necessary?)

Trumpbots would rip up the Constitution to support their boy.

Well said Ted. That is why I support you. You are a class act. Senator McCain is a great many bad things, but what Trump said was just plain wrong. When it comes to his military service, no one has the right to bad mouth Captain, U.S. Navy (retired) John McCain.

I agree. By saying that Juan was a hero, he is siding against Trump. Although that isn’t exactly what Trump said.

I don’t fault Cruz for this statement, but I would have edited it thus.

this
“John McCain is an American hero. Although we have some policy disagreements, I’m proud to serve alongside him.”

to this
“John McCain is an American hero. We have many policy disagreements, but I wish him well.”

Much better. Give Juan McVain his kudos for what he endured in Vietnam but make it clear you’re not political allies.

I’m betting that Ted Cruz has read Washington’s Rules of Civility.

Personally I think everyone should.

Cruz is free to have any opinion of McCain he wants. It matters not one iota as long as he remains the Constitutionalist he represents himself as.

Cruz or lose.

I agree.

Trump didn’t go looking for this fight. McCain’s arrogance brought it to him, and now he’s paying the price.

Believe me, when the time comes their will be plenty of mud slung at Cruz by the pro-Bush camp. Cruz will get called to the mat several times before this is all over; he should save his energy for the fights that mean something, imo.

The Establishment hasn’t even finished sharpening the long knives yet.
