Ted Cruz Refuses to Disavow Lindsey Graham Endorsement
Breitbart ^ | 3/21/2016 | JULIA HAHN

Posted on 03/21/2016 7:50:28 AM PDT by 20yearsofinternet

*snip*

Trump surged as the Republican Party’s frontrunner on his campaign platform of deporting illegal aliens, promoting trade deals that prioritize the interests of American workers, and rejecting the party elites’ desire for increased military adventurism.

Ted Cruz, by contrast, wrote an op-ed urging Congress to fast track Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). No fast-tracked trade agreement has ever been defeated.

Sen. Graham’s energetic endorsement of Cruz – and Cruz’s refusal to disavow the endorsement of a man who many believe betrayed the American people with his unyielding push for mass migration – will no doubt raise questions as to whether Cruz still supports his 2013 amendments to radically expand immigration.

Graham, as a backer of the 2013 Rubio-Schumer amnesty plan and the 2007 McCain-Kennedy amnesty plan before that, is perhaps the Republican Party’s most outspoken proponent of open borders immigration policies.

Perhaps more than anyone, Sen. Graham has attacked GOP voters, lawmakers, and thinkers for opposing mass migration policies.

In other news, Glenn Beck will spend the week talking about religious freedom.

By Friday he will be taking what’s left of his audience to Guyana to reopen Jonestown.

Cruz: “No Comment.”

Jeff Sessions is establishment/RINO?

Chris Christie is literally the biggest establishment/RINO there is. How about you crazy Trumpbot cultists demand your Fuhrer to disavow his endorsement?

Amen!

Conservatives have been really unhappy with the establishment because they would not take us seriously. Well guess what? They do now. We not get 100% of what we want now but we are moving the agenda and the party in the right (get it) direction. If you want to kill any chance we have of getting control, start by bickering about the other candidate.

Is there something wrong with that?

Are only purist allowed to run for President.

As President, whoever wins is supposed to represent what is best for the country, not some strict adherence to any ideology.

“During a competitive election cycle, politicians can only afford to disavow endorsements from the most radical elements.”

Pro-amnesty Linda Graham is a radical. A pro-amnesty radical, a democrat-lite of the first degree. No self-respecting conservative would want this little fairy’s endorsement.

So what? Trump still has just over half the delegates needed to win, and Ted Cruz as at least 423 delegates and set to pick post of Rubio’s votes in the coming primaries. Contrary to loud Trumpbot screeching, nothing’s settled yet.

Stupid argument. If you look at Cruz’s life, except the first 4 years of it, he was raised AS AN AMERICAN, with American values and principles. He was raised to appreciate and value the Constitution.

His teen years and beyond are all living proof and example, of how much the Constitution and AMERICA is ingrained in him.

So you can argue till the cows come home, about dates and times of his dad legally becoming a US citizen, but it is of no matter.

The whole birther/citizenship argument is so leftist and over done, that it wastes everyone’s time even discussing it.

I guess that’s the point...to distract and side track people to a non-issue, so they’ll ignore the REAL problems and REAL issues, like what a fraud Trump is.

Lucky9teen, the problem is not Ted’s positions... the problem is Ted’s long term abuse of alcohol, his inability to get along even with people who have similar points of view, and his complete lack of anything resembling leadership abilities. The only thing Ted has is his persistence and his ability to argue, but even that gets tiring fairly quickly.

What’s wrong with Lindsey Graham and Mitt Romney supporting Cruz?

Cruz, along with the rest of the donor, globalist class, would rather Hillary Clinton be elected than Donald Trump. That’s why he absolutely considers no one but himself as qualified in the GOP to be president. His entire spiel now is badmouthing Trump every time he opens his mouth. Cruz has finally exposed himself as just being another member of the Washington cartel. Anyone that can google and has followed his time in politics already knew he was smarter version of GW Bush Jr.

Senator Cruz would win in that situation... That is why he is fine with a contested convention.

If no one gets the majority, we need to hash it out on the convention floor.

It’s how it works.

It’s how Lincoln was nominated...

Deal. With. It.

he was raised AS AN AMERICAN, with American values and principles.

Ted was raised in a dysfunctional family with an alcoholic mother and an alcoholic father who was absent much of the time. Ted had a very tragic upbringing, one which his half sister did not survive, dying from alcoholism and drug abuse. And even with all the havoc substance abuse caused in his family... he still described himself as a “scotch man” in a recent interview with Anderson Cooper and then extolled the virtues of whiskey and other hard liquors.
