Very Telling

---

As Hogan Gidley, a former adviser to Mike Huckabee who strongly opposes Cruz’s candidacy, said, “When you’re parading yourself around as the paragon of Christian virtue, you better be airtight.” Indeed, after Cruz carried evangelical Christians in Iowa en route to victory, he lost them to Trump in the next three states and barely finished ahead of Rubio among them in South Carolina and Nevada.

It’s an ominous sign for Cruz ahead of evangelical-heavy states that vote Tuesday: Texas, Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Alabama were supposed to be his political launching pad.

...After Super Tuesday, it will be clear whether he and the Cruz campaign will have turned the corner on questions of ethical politicking, or if they have run out of road entirely.

Yes, very telling.

I guess presenting cases before the Supreme Court defending the 2nd Amendment and getting paid for it is not a job. And since when do conservatives use liberal talking points against our own?

Goldman Sachs? Really...what are we all Bernie Sanders supporters here all of a sudden. Whats next? Support of a carbon footprint tax?

Ted didn't fund his own opposition making his job and the job of other Tea-Party members harder to do either.

For a guy who did nothing...he sure got a lot of folks angry with his role in SHUTTING DOWN A GOVERNMENT....and we all applauded. But that was before Donny the Democrat came along.

Unquestionably Cruz’ worst decision.

Sounds like a Lee Atwater type.
Sometimes that’s what it takes to win it all.
Politics is a contact sport.

Having said that, teaming up with Glenn Beck was really dumb.

Jeff Roe single handedly destroyed Cruzs political future.
He made sure that every bridge Cruz had with Trump was burned. Now Ted will have to retire to a ranch in Texas. No one will want Ted now after the dirty that Roe brought down.

What ranch?

In the interview with Heidi, the author stated the Cruzes lived in a high rise building with a live nanny due to Heidi’s 80 hour work week. Heidi was quoted as saying she couldn’t live without the nanny. Those under ten kids spend more time with the nanny than with either parent.

What ranch?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The one that the GOPe is about to purchase for him for dropping out and dedicating his supporters over to Rubio.

[Covenantor]

Oh, that ranch.

The one in DC.

Got it.

He was working for the govt at the time.

Sorry I am sick of foljs who spend their whole life in govt

[HereInTheHeartland]

And Trump gets a pass for doing all the things he does.
Such as planting the story that Cruz is dropping out. The garbage stories that Trump said about Carson.
Buts it’s ok when Trump does it because he’s a hard nosed businessman.

[Redleg Duke]

Same, here. I was receptive to Cruz until Iowa and the first lies.

Then, it was one on top of the other until I automatically hit the mute button when Cruz’s face came on the screen.
