Cruz is not principled. He only uses that act to win votes and mold his persona. The reason why he promotes his own faith and other Conservative issues so strongly is just like the tactic BHO telling middle-class Americans that he is for them. The opposite was true. This is how politicians work. Ted Cruz’s conservative meme has become a joke particularly because he tries to push these aspects so farcically.
Trump’s complaint about Cruz’s tactics uses exactly the same argument that Cruz has used to critique Donald’s business career: “You used the rules of a corrupt system to further your personal ambition. Therefore, you are corrupt, liberal, unprincipled, etc.” Donald contributed to politicians of all parties (more to Cruz than to Hillary) and used laws he didn’t make to win. Cruz is doing the same thing in the delegate acquisition arena. But in the eyes of Cruz and his supporters he is just being smart since he didn’t create the system.
I admit that Cruz is masterful in using a corrupt system to further his personal ambition. By the standard that Cruzers apply to Trump, does that make Ted corrupt?
