Trump is surrounding himself with more and more establishment GOPe people.

You and many other Trump supporters said this was is a negative when Cruz hired them. It was the litmus test proving Cruz was GOPe.

Now that Trump is doing the same thing, will you have to change your tune once again? Or does it prove Trump is becoming GOPe as fast as he can?

You seem confused. Wiley and others are now Trumps insiders, with Trump being the boss.

Ya seen what happens to folks when they don’t do what the boss says in Trumps world? It’s light years from D.C. “values” and ethics.

Whats not to like?

One big difference. The ones Trump hired work for him. Cruz works for the GOPe who took over his campaign and are providing his ground game..

Believe what you must to reconcile all the changes. Your fantasy world around Trump, his leadership acumen, and his power is growing in the midst of the chaos of real world delegate losses.

Only in your mind.

You really have no real inside information, just the fantasies Trump encouraged you to create in your mind....the art of the deal.

Is there something not true here?

People changes positions in life. And if you ever work for Trump, you’d better expect to work your butt off and perform exactly the way the boss wants you to.

Again, Wiley and others are now Trumps insiders, with Trump being the boss. Ya seen what happens to folks when they don’t do what the boss says in Trumps world? It’s light years from D.C. “values” and ethics.

When did the Harvard trained lawyer turn into a conservative?

- In 1998, Cruz served as private counsel for Congressman John Boehner during Boehner’s lawsuit against Congressman Jim McDermott for releasing a tape recording of a Boehner telephone conversation.

- Cruz joined the Bush–Cheney campaign in 1999 as a domestic policy adviser, advising President George W. Bush on a wide range of policy and legal matters, including civil justice, criminal justice, constitutional law, immigration, and government reform. There he met his wife, Heidi Nelson Cruz, another policy adviser who works for Goldman Sachs.

- Cruz assisted in assembling the Bush legal team, devise strategy, and draft pleadings in the Florida and U.S. Supreme Courts during the 2000 Florida presidential recounts, winning twice in the U.S. Supreme Court.

- After President Bush took office, Cruz served as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Justice Department and as the director of policy planning at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

Globalists are not conservative. Cruz is a Globalist. Therefore hes not a conservative.

Would a conservative help draft Bush’s NAFTA bill?
Would a conservative vote FOR the patriot Act?
Would a Conservative team up with Ryan to push TPP?
would a conservative vote FOR TPA?
would a conservative try to increase H1B visas by 500%?
would a conservative try to double the number of Muslims?
would a conservative side with BLM protestors against police?
would a conservative hand out gift baskets to illegals at the border?
would a conservative lie to his supporters about the fact the GOPe is providing his delegates and he will not win nomination?

WHAT EVERY VOTER NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT TED CRUZ

At age 33, Ted Cruz became the youngest solicitor general of Texas in American history. He would go on to become the longest serving solicitor general, ferociously fighting for the Constitution. He sought out conservative, constitutional causes, distinguishing himself with exceptional achievements and victories:

• Cruz authored 70 United States Supreme Court briefs and presented 43 oral arguments, including nine before the United States Supreme Court — more than any practicing lawyer in all of Texas or any current member of Congress. He took on some of the biggest cases decided by the courts in decades — and won virtually every single time.

• Cruz won a huge Second Amendment victory in the District of Columbia versus Heller, drafting the amicus brief signed by the attorneys general of 31 different states and presenting the oral argument. This victory struck down a D.C. handgun ban as infringing upon the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms — and it changed everything regarding your right to carry a gun.

• Cruz wrote a brief on behalf all 50 states in the Elk Grove Unified School District versus Newdow case, in which atheist activist Michael Newdow sued on behalf of his daughter to stop schools from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. He objected to the phrase, “One Nation Under God.” For months, the pledge was not spoken in nine western states — until Cruz argued the case. The Supreme Court upheld Cruz’s belief that Newdow had no standing to file suit on behalf of his daughter.

• Cruz successfully defended the constitutionality of the Ten Commandments Monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds before the Fifth Circuit Court and the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result, the Ten Commandments Monument currently stands on the grounds of the Texas State Capitol.

• Cruz fought on behalf of the state of Texas to uphold the death penalty sentence for a vicious gang member who was in the United States illegally when he and other gang members brutally beat, raped, tortured and killed two teenage girls in Houston. The Mexican Consulate became involved, as well as then President George W. Bush, who sided with the Mexican government and turned the case over to the International Court of Justice which ruled against Texas and stayed the execution. Texas then turned to Solicitor General Ted Cruz. Appearing before the U.S. Supreme Court, Cruz successfully defended the Constitution. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that decisions from the International Court of Justice were not binding in any domestic law and even the president had no power to enforce them. Ted Cruz won and gang member Jose Medellin met his maker.

Ted Cruz has a proven record of fighting for and defending the United States Constitution — even when it means going against the establishment. In the case of Medellin versus Texas, not only did he go against a brutal, illegal alien murderer, the country of Mexico, the Geneva Convention, the International Court of Justice — but also his former boss and the president of the United States, George W. Bush. This may provide insight into why George W. Bush broke his long-standing policy not to comment on politics to say recently about Cruz, “I just don’t like the guy.” Being embarrassed and beaten on the international stage isn’t generally followed by afternoon tea.

There’s a reason why the Republican establishment in D.C. is known for not liking Cruz. They stand for the party, for themselves and for their own political power. Ted Cruz doesn’t play party politics or political games. Ted Cruz stands for principles, values, integrity and the United States Constitution. What does your candidate stand for?

Since I have PROVEN hes a Globalist pushing the North American Union agenda, which destroys American Sovereignty; What exactly is Cruz conserving?
Logic: A Globalist is not a conservative. Cruz is a Globalist. Therefore Cruz cannot be a conservative.
