“My dislike for Cruz continues to increase. To the point where I now look at what’s left of his supporters as deceitful dupes. A real pathetic crew who literally mimic lying Ted.”
I think most of the Cruz supporters do not realize that he is just a lying opportunist. The are so hungry to see a “real conservative” run, that they believe him — they are just naïve. If they would take a step back and look again, they would realize that Trump is the one who wants to implement conservative policies, Cruz is just paying lip-service, but he sold out or always was part of the GOPe, who already agreed to facilitate a Hillary presidency.
I think it is fair to say most on this board had a very favorable opinion of Senator Cruz at the beginning of this. Trump aside during this primary I have been quite surprised at how my opinion of him has changed. So I get the naive part for those who don't pay that close of attention.
But for those on boards like these not to now see him for the just another politician that he is rather than this principled Reagan conservative fighter strains credulity.
There isn't a lot of charisma and excitement with Cruz - seem more like a stern theoretical lecture with lots of condescending sighing.
