Nicolle Wallace: During 2000 Florida Recount, Cruz Tops for 'Hubris and Egomania'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/29/2015 3:57:31 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Judging by Nicolle Wallace's performance on today's With All Due Respect, it looks like establishment Republicans are going full bore against Ted Cruz. Here was Wallace talking about her personal experience with Ted Cruz: "I worked with him on the [2000 Bush/Gore] recount in Florida, and the recount was sort of ground zero for the biggest egos in both parties in the whole country, and he rose to the top in terms of hubris and egomania."

Co-host John Heilemann was flabbergasted: "you're saying that among all of your colleagues in the recount effort, that he was the biggest ego? Is that really what I heard you say? Wow! That is an incredible thing to say."

Did Cruz help defeat Al Gore’s frivolous election challenge?

If so — then his ego hardly matter.

Hubris?

It’s not bragging if you can do it.

I think the GOP establishment types are having great difficulty handling a situation where there are too many “targets for their fire”. If they focus on Cruz, they have to take the focus off of Trump. If they focus on Trump, they’ve taken the focus off of Cruz.

It will be SO SWEET if things continue as they have been going. Trump and Cruz get an increasing percentage of the (polled) vote preference and the establishment candidates get a shrinking percentage. It’s been going that way for some time now leaving the GOPe completely flummoxed. And I do so enjoy seeing them flummoxed and throwing off spittle as they babble away.

Trump and Cruz, the two-headed non-establishment monster that is making the establishment types like Nimrod Nicole boil over with anger because their party is being crashed.

So Dana PeRino’s BFF is doing what the GOPe/Bushies pay her to do: Trash conservatives.

When Jeb finally quits this campaign I hope he takes these two tiresome *itches with him when he goes.

She didn’t like Palin either. Sounds like a personal problem.
He is our Teddy Cruz.

Ted at just turned 30 at that time and probably was unaware of his persona to others. He was a true believer, hopefully no longer so for all things Bush.

I agree. Trump also agrees. If you can back it up it isn't narcissism it is reality.

None of this means anything unless something changes in Congress.

Exactly. And after shoving our Sarah aside pandering the View to take Sarah’s place. The old witch, Nicole is getting her just reward - it isn’t the ruby slippers nor the glass slipper. Fired from the View, back to hacking Conservatives to see what damage she might cause. The woman is a tramp. But not to worry....We’ve got the TRUMP and Trump/Cruz are a darn good team on which to bet.

Nicole Wallace I know as a recurring villain on “Law and Order: D’Onfrio”. Played by Olivia D’Abo.

Only have a vague notion of this other Nicole Wallace. Seems like a B.
