I’m also glad that Cruz is in the running. This keeps the Establishment between a rock and a hard place. Cruz is the only viable ‘anti-Trump’.

Re:”My point is every time you bring up Trump’s private citizen comments you force a response of Cruz’s voting record”

OK then tell me how you feel about Cruz’s filibuster attempt at repealing obamacare. He was willing to put his ass on the line and attempt to squash that crap. If there were enough republican congressmen with spines and the desire to follow his lead then maybe something would have advanced. But people like them and Trump don’t really care as they are largely immune from that crap. Trump even is on the record supporting single payer health care. Care to elaborate how Trump is going to stop obamacare given his sentiments?

Keep flogging the single payer nothing-burger. (yawn)

The filibuster is what the filibuster is and in the Senate you don't even have to keep talking, just be there. So, Cruz could have literally slept there and had one other Senator spare him on a potty break - lasting weeks maybe, or more. Dig deep in the rules and you will see I am right.

The talking, like Rand Paul, was all show and the result predictable and laughable.

Re:”The talking, like Rand Paul, was all show and the result predictable and laughable. “

You seem rather unconcerned about obamacare.
Are you sure you are on the right forum.
Or are you just another troll/plant?
You certainly have proven yourself no conservative.
Don’t go away mad.
Just go away.

If he’s leading maybe he should stay away. LOL.

I will excuse you for not understanding the King's English, given that you are some self appointed forum magistrate attempting to cull who posts here because they are not stitched to Cruz's hide.

I have been accused of not being a Christian and not being a conservative merely because I am not caught up in Cruz's cloak of religiosity - whereas his votes, solidly impacting this country and Israel, are far more important than meaninglessly running his mouth in an empty Senate.

Cruz's support of TPA (US job loss and Obama kiss) and pro Corker bill (kiss to corporations and Judas vote to Israel)are real world anti-conservative, anti-Christian and anti-Constitution. They are not some nitpicking things said in some oblique interview.

Now, if I don't belong in this forum I am sure the moderators will take care of me. Rest assured, I am all for most of the things Cruz says he is for, just not the way he actually votes.
