==============================
Crooked Cruz. Cruz the Crook.
Both terms have the ring of truth to them.
And why wouldn't you refuse, since bringing Ayn Rand into the mix didn't work out so well for you.
I don't expect to convert you, so I'll settle for winning the debate.
the debate of one.
I don't think you can reverse left and right in this case. They are definitely using their left hands to shake. Maybe one of them has an injured right hand.
Teb does display bi-polar traits but also go read a list of sociopath traits and see how Cruz matches those.
No man, not a real man, defends his loyalty to his wife like that.
This is very true. When he did that, hiding behind a woman's skirt-tails as he's being accused of sexual misconduct, it was plainly obvious he was afraid he couldn't lie convincingly enough so he let Fiorina take charge. Either that, or he's 100% wimp.
Your predictions of what will happen are interesting! You said,
The GOPe will dump Cruz just as everyone expects, at which point it will be interesting to see how Cruz will handle it, and what (if any) his response would be.I think you're right: the Uniparty takes turns ruling their tax-paying proletariat and the GOP doesn't really want to win if it means Trump. They may have escalated their timeline for the North American Union and only God knows what else. That would sure explain their brazen openness with trying to stop Trump at all costs. It would also explain their stupidity, because I have a hard time believing they're really as stupid as they act in public.The other possibility is that they might actually LET Cruz have the nomination for the express purpose of letting him lose the general election in a landslide to whoever the ‘RATS put up, Cruz’ smarmy, hyper religious and self righteous persona will NOT sell to the electorate, and in contrast, well Bernie Sanders comes across as a nice ol’ grandfatherly type with white hair, and of course Hillary Rotten Criminal has a vagina, so what more qualification does she need?
IF the GOP really wants to win, they go with Trump. But they would rather lose to the ‘RATS so their UniParty gravy train and continue on down the tracks.
Regarding Cruz, for months I've been trying to decide if he knows he's being played. I can actually see it both ways, but there's really no way to know until he gets dumped by the GOP and we see his reaction. And I think he WOULD get dumped before the general, unless the GOP would rather lose with Cruz for some reason than lose with Kasich/Romney/etc. Here are the two scenarios that seem to change in my mind every time the wind changes direction:
Option 1:
Cruz knows he's being used by the GOP. If this is the case, it would mean he has no moral compass and would do just about anything to advance his career. He may actually be wanting a lifetime spot on the Supreme Court, and if the GOP has promised him that, well... I think he'd be willing to look like a national idiot to get that job. It would even explain his nauseating smugness; he has a 'secret' that none of us voting fools know because we aren't as smart as he is. This option would mean he's grounded enough to know he could never win in November anyway, not after seeing the Evangelical South go for Trump.
This scenario would mean he has little if any conscience. What kind of person would do what he's doing, going against millions of voters and ensuring a Democrat wins, just so he could advance his career? This option would mean Cruz knows all about the Uniparty Establishment, is part of it, and has sociopathic traits and tendencies.
Option 2:
Cruz does NOT know he's being played by the GOP. Instead, he uses denial to such an extent that it distorts his thinking. In this scenario, he believes the GOP is genuinely backing him and will help him steal the delegates and electronic votes and then back him all the way to November. If this is the case, then his strong reliance on denial wouldn't let his mind "go there" when it comes to being double-crossed. (Personally, I think if Cruz were to win the floor vote, then about a week after the convention we'll know ALL about his sexual exploits. Either that, or they'll dump him with birther lawsuits that stick.)
Option 2 would mean his denial skills are no finely tuned that he doesn't think the GOP would dare lie to him. (After all, he's predestined as King Cruz to rule over the 7 earthly mountains because that's what Jesus told his Daddy, right? And Jesus also spoke to Heidi to say, "This is the time," so he decided to run.) I can see the strong denial, without a doubt. Here's a man who once said that Obama had no right to be President because of his birth status. He also proclaims loudly and proudly that he's an "Originalist" regarding the Constitution, yet when it involves his own legal right to run for the Presidency, well... that changes his interpretation of the Constitution, doncha know. A person who expects an entire nation to ignore all these discrepancies and "red flag" issues is not emotionally qualified to run the country.
Either way, regardless if Cruz has no conscience or if he's in massive denial, the Uniparty gets what they want and Ted Cruz continues to shame the great state of Texas. (sigh.) #@(&^#! Carpetbagger!
That quote and reference from him is perfect. Thanks; I'm bookmarking that. The man is one huge walking contradiction, for sure. Those quotes are like the difference between night and day from what he's saying now! Just wow.
Thanks. Those kind words are appreciated. He IS creepy... I really don’t think the man is playing with a full deck. You may want to see my last response at 86 where I’m thinking out loud about possible reasons for his strange behavior.
Well if the hostile takeover by the Cruznadian horde at Phylis Schlafley's Eagle Forum is any indication, we all know you Uniparty establishment hacks for teddy would love to do the same to FR.
Admit, goon is in the Cruznadian dna.
I see my 86 should have been tagged to you also! I can see possible sociopathic tendencies, if you assume he's part of the Establishment, but the bipolar thing, not so much. You're probably seeing the huge discrepancy between his outward religiosity and his contradictory lying and stealing votes. It's like day and night, for sure. Which "Ted" will we see tomorrow?
Go read the description of reaction formation here. I think that explains it. He's like Jimmy Swaggart on steroids.
FROM POLITICO:
‘TRUMPED-OUT’ -- “Trump backer: ‘fix is in’ over Florida delegates. GOP: no, it’s not,” by POLITICO Florida’s Marc Caputo: Claiming “the fix is in,” an incensed Donald Trump supporter has accused Palm Beach County Republicans of intentionally picking “non-Trump” convention delegates -- a charge they have had to repeatedly deny.
“We’re going to lose a brokered convention because they’re picking people who are not for Trump,” activist Debby Mik said in a Sunday Facebook video where she describes herself as “not feeling very American today … Trumped-out.”
The underlying dispute over the delegate-selection process highlights the inherent tension between Trump’s outsider candidacy and the insider nature of political party rules in a contested convention. Trump has inspired loads of new voters to register as Republicans or become politically active; but because they’re new to the process, some have little understanding of party-delegate rules, which few pay attention to anyway because nominations are usually locked up well before an election. http://politi.co/25VQzUl
In the Cruz and FiredRINO relationship, Cruz is Carly’s cuck.
As for your two options on how to interpret Cruz’s intentions, neither make him look all that great a person.
I cannot decide which is the really teddy, but I like how you make him look bad either way. :)
Talk about a bad typo! Should be "...are SO finely tuned..."
lol. Sadly, the only other option to explain all his behavior for the past year is that he's just a genuine, bonafide dumbazz. ;-)
THAT is some excellent and keen analysis. I’m putting that in my ‘save’ file for future reference.
BRAVO.
Is this bombshell for real?
Written by Jim Hoft. He might have gotten a few things wrong for all I know, but he’s written countless accurate reports.
[I’ll save this tab and come back. Very important to get it right here.]
‘Another disgusted Trump supporter Larry Wayne Lindsey from Douglas County had his name removed from the ballot. He posted this video after he was scratched from the ballot without his knowledge after driving to Colorado Springs for the convention.
“I’ve been a lifelong Republican all of my life. And this corrupt bunch of thieves is not even worth fighting for.’
ABC quoted Trump senior adviser Alan Cobb BTW.
