Ted Cruz: Trump tweets have 'coarsened discussion'
The Hill ^ | - 07/28/20 11:22 AM EDT | ZACK BUDRYK

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Monday said he believed many of President Trump’s tweets have “coarsened discussion,” but praised the president for having “a backbone."

“So many of us are so sick and tired of Republicans that roll over and whimper when encountering the slightest resistance. And I think probably the best characteristic about the president is he’s got a backbone. And he will fight,” Cruz told conservative talk radio host Hugh Hewitt, when asked how the president has changed the Republican Party.

“Now I will say ... I wish his tone and some of the things he said were different,” Cruz added. “Many of the tweets I’m not a fan of, and I do think it has coarsened discussion. So that is a less-than-positive development.”

At least Ted didn’t drop his wife down that hidden trap door sawed into the wooden floor, as what happened to poor Carly.

The left jailing their political opponents is “coarsening” the dialogue, Lyin’ Ted.

...uh, it wasn't Trump who "coarsened" discussion. I remember how Reagan was treated. And George Bush I. Bob Dole, George Bush II, McCain, Romney....

They all wanted to kill old people, put blacks in chains, poison the air and water. Nuke the planet. Enslave women. Mulch the poor for fertilizer.

Trump doesn't take this shit. That is why we should cherish him.

Every time I start feeling strong support of Cruz again, he pivots, and shoots his own side.   What the hell is wrong with that guy?

Looks likes Cruz is back to his NeverTrumper mode. No surprise to most of us.

Maybe he’ll accomplish what he just missed out on 4 years ago and actually help the Democrat win.

Thanks Ted.

Where would America be without a nuanced viewpoint that is necessary for modern culture?

The buried lede here is the Cruz said dems had plans to get rid of the filibuster, admit Washington DC and Puerto Rico as states, and pack the supreme court. Basically a coup taking over two of the three branches of the government.

Cruz is 100% pro Trump here, and knows his re-election is critical for the country.

Heck! I don’t think Trump goes far enough or had enough. I love his tweets and have written to tel him so. Keep it up, Mr. President.

This is why I knew Cruz couldn’t win

He couldn’t take 5 minutes of what the Left would have thrown at him if he was the nominee

“So many of us are so sick and tired of Republicans that roll over and whimper when encountering the slightest resistance. And I think probably the best characteristic about the president is he’s got a backbone. And he will fight,”

He could have just left it at that and folks would have given him some props. But then he has to go down the road and drop the whole, “I don’t like the way he says things”. And I’m actually smarter than he is. Just solidifying that he still has some sou grapes after getting spanked.

Republicans are frustrated Trump steps on his message constantly. Its stupid to publicly troll Fauci because it loses votes by playing into the Democrat narrative that the coronavirus response was chaotic.
