That is a long list of grievances. Not true, but still long.

And now we are little sycophants? Maybe you mean Ted is a sycophant.

All true, but you don’t want to admit it to yourself.

So what I am going to ask you to do is this.

Do you honestly think Tead was as vocal as he is now, when Trump was running for office last year?

I didn’t hear a peep out of Tead for months at a time last year. Now you can’t shut him up.

The difference is glaring. You know it is.

Well, in this instance you were even willing to help someone with no need from you at all.

I really appreciate that.

Now, if you could just help yourself...

Cruz campaigned for the Trump ticket. Your statement that he didn’t try to defeat Hillary Clinton is patently false.

I'm pretty tired of the Freepers that can't let go of their butt-hurt and cheer Ted on for the good he's trying to do. Sickening.

Your full of it, Ted Cruz of all people has every reason not to support Trump, right now Trump has enough enemies and Cruz isn’t one of them and Cruz certainly doesn’t need anyone’s help getting re-elected to the Senate.

Unfortunately, Croooze’s rousing theatrics are as much about attempting to scare off small fry opponents. If several divide a primary vote then a strong opponent can use Croooze tactics and try to hold him under 50%, forcing a run off. Money matters against Goldman Sachs candidates. And this piece of work is the prince for the Wall Street Establishment. Heidi sealed that deal and he still has cash enough to burn.

Yep, I’m full of the same Conservatism I was last year when Tead wasn’t.

Thanks for recognizing that.

Tead is GOPe all the way.

Some folks don’t get that. Watch him long enough and it becomes crystal clear.

His poor followers. They have no idea.

I had these same types of conversations about ‘the war hero’ years ago. Now folks have finally come to terms with the fact that I was right on target.

I went from supporting Ted for secondary positions to now wanting him at all. I had not considered him terrible until his convention antics and then remaining silent in the face of a Hillary Clinton presidency.

It was then that I saw him for exactly what he was.

He’s been pulling shady stuff for a decade and a half though, so it’s on the record if folks care to look.

Thank you!

You don’t know how much I appreciate you realizing that I’m here to stay and trash Cruz every chance I get for selling us out last year.

What none of you nincompoops can grasp, is that if all Conservatives would have acted like Curz last year, Hillary would be president.

Kindof hard to deal with the truth isn’t it.

Your no different than CNN and other fake news outlet, you spread the BS like Cruz spreads the truth, you are no different than Susan Collins and other RINO’s you are republican in name only

I hope you’re wrong. Crooze is all about Cruz. Enough that he lied straight up about how he sacrificed his last frigging dollar to represent Texas in the Senate race. BS on a toast.

The Christian Right ate that sandwich. I was one. I ought to know.

Along with his conveniently new found religion... does he even darken the door of any church, now, following his gut punching LOSS to the man among the boys?

You poor thing.

You don’t even address the issue of everyone doing what Tead did last year.

You can’t deal with reality.

Tead’s your boy, so everyone that won’t bow on bended knee has to be Susan Collins.

Let me ask you this. Who campaigned more for Trump, Tead or Susan?

It may surprise you, but I agree that Tead did. He spent 1.1 days more doing it than Susan did.

How about that.

I’m thinking you probably wanted Hillary to lose so bad you did your absolute best to make it happen.

Tead and Susan, not so much.

Sorry. That’s reality for ya.

We’re well aware of what Ted is doing, and why. Buy a clue.

He stepped on his own tongue, then doubled down and screwed the wrong pooch, live action and in public, and we’re suppose to thank him for his tactically charged re-election performances?

Yep. I’m sure these folks are wondering why someone on this forum would trash what they believe to be a solid Conservative, one of the best.

I sure didn’t see myself one day having to do it in the fall of 2015.

Tead created the need.

I bucked the bridal off, I think, when he first raised gazillions in NYC and got caught on live audio dissing Trump to the wallets present, while schmoozing Trump on the trail.

Trump graciously blew that off. Strike 1.

We watched Crooze start every fight and when he let his PAC start the wives war was when I bucked the bridle off, permantly. That low boy never renounced his PAC for promoting 15 year old provocative photos from Melania’s French modeling years. He let them attack her to get to unfitness against Trump.

The skunk howled to the moon and back when Trump turned it into a plus for Melania’s beauty and successful career working with high end photographers, modeling agencies and magazines. Side by side, Trump then gives as good as he gets, and put a Heidi photo beside Melania.

Now, Crooze was insensed. LOL! The Trump enjoys the photo released by the National Inquirer of Rafael Sr., in Cuba, with Castro.

Cruz issued a raging non-denial denial that his dad was associated with Fidel. Never sued the paper for slander and neither did daddy. The photo was never proved photo shopped, because it wasn’t. There were other prints of it, easily attainable elsewhere, obviously.

Trump always said from the beginning, he wouldn’t start anything with anyone, until they hit first, but declared he would hit back... twice as hard.

Crooze got smashed and humiliated. He messed with the pooch at the Convention and soiled himself in front of the world.

You’ve got a fresh perspective on some of that, from my grasp of things. I appreciate the mention.

I don’t think Ted’s dad was involved in the assassination, but I do find it amazing to see him there behind him.

Oswald was kook central even in those days, and Ted’s dad buying into that part of Oswald’s agenda is startling.

Do I know for certain Ted’s dad couldn’t provide any additional insight into Oswald’s mindset? No. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are FBI files on Ted’s dad related to Oswald and the assassination.

I’m sure they interviewed anyone they could find who had been mixed up with him at some point.

As for Ted’s folks, they didn’t really help Ted, and in fact Ted didn’t even help himself much.

His lies about Carson, winning the South, how he only suggested the H1-Bs as a poison pill, even though he was still hawking it two years later on his web site..., after a while you just see the guy for who he was.

I hadn’t heard the Melania story to the full extent, and appreciate the additional info there.

We’re not going to convince the tead ends, but some folks will get it.

He’s simply not fit for public office.

The order of events, on that war of the wives, was really played down in the media. The dirty tricks against Melania was played off to the Cruz PAC team. Cruz skated. He burned two days before he even acknowledged the Melania photo, and the media let him by. When he finally addressed it, he was successful in getting by with no regrets for the PAC, no renouncement for attacking wives and family. But, by then Trump answered with the bad photo of Heidi, beside lovely Melania. Cruz got attentive at that point and got the message from Trump! Then came the timely Rafael photo in the National Inquirer. In the same week! (I know nothing provable about Rafael in Cuba, but plenty was published that wasn't a plus for him.) That Cuba photo was laid off, not on the Inquirer, but on Trump, for supposedly a friendship with its publisher. Go figure. Cruz gets by with dirty tricks by his PAC, but Trump gets blamed and connected to a publisher for a news story photo! Crooze was a mental case from that week onward and it was open warfare. He proved hysterical, over the top, nasty and unfit, in a crisis. Thx, DO. 😐
