No, But

Almost everyone who ever knew me or worked with me not only respected me but liked me

“Lyin” would never have been described as one off my character traits

In college never snuck around the opposite sex dorm doing weird things and making people feel creepy and having my college and grad school classmates say “NO WAY” when I ran for president

I never cut the cheese in a hotel room with Amanda Carpenter

I never ate a booger on live TV

There are no rumors all over Capitol Hill about “The thing” - that I’ve had multiple sexual partners

I would never pay Carly Fiorina’s campaign $500,000 with no reasonable explanation but just coincidentally during a bimbo eruption cleanup ordered by my spouse - and then hide behind Carly’s pantsuit (and my wife and mother) in the few days after a damaging tabloid report was leaked- which I failed to file lawsuit against

The cops never picked up my distraught spouse sitting by a highway

I never held Canadian citizenship while running for the US Senate

No question whatsoever about where my parents were born and why there would be a picture of my father handing out handing pro-Castro tracts with US communists in New Orleans

I don’t think I would ever give John Roberts a run for the money as being the Justice most likely to form legal opinions affected by fears of blackmail

Truly I don’t think Trump has unlimited political capital to spend with Congress and using on nominating an UNVETTED Ted Cruz for the USSC, mostly to appease his ego and squelch a future disastrous GOP presidential campaign would be a waste of it, imho

Just give the damn job to Rudy!

He wants the SOS job, so why not him?

Your TPP post explains why Ted Cruz promoted his VAT tax... Ted and Heidi’s VAT tax plan is so European.

LOL! Trump needs to ignore all the concern trolls and do what he deems best.

Lieberman would send a message that Trump is serious about Israel and keeping Israel safe from its enemies. Other than that, I can’t think of any reason to choose Lieberman.

This crap needs to stop.Bullshit. Objective, honest people do not condone unacceptable behavior from someone who could be a chief justice.

BTW, do you/would you instill unethical and immoral values in your children?

Did you write Bush’s Amnesty papers? Is your wife a member of the CFR with open borders positionings? Did you lie about being a Canadian citizen and only change it after you were sworn in as Senator? Are you a Bushbot with Neil Bush on your presidential team? Did you lie about Ben Carson in Iowa and coordinate with CNN to cover your tracks? Did you pretend to be a Tea Partier while really just shilling for RoveRINOs with your impotent Senate grandstanding? Did you backstab Sarah Pain for endorsing Trump?

Cruz for dogcatcher. In NewCuba.

I don’t think Trump ever claimed the list was exhaustive and it would be hard to argue that Cruz is unqualified.

Further, Cruz could sit on that court for the next 40 years.

Finally, there are Senators who might otherwise oppose Trump’s first (only?) nominee because of Garland but who would probably let this one slip through just to get Cruz out of the Senate.

Yeah, I know some Freepers here still don’t like him from the campaign but it would be a good move on Trump’s part.

You trust Al Gore’s running mate more than you trust one of the most consistent constitutional conservatives in Congress simply because he didn’t get along with Trump?

Has FR become that much of “Cult of Personality” on Trump that we come to that?!?

And understand: I think Cruz was 100% wrong on the Trump thing but that doesn’t undo all the good in the man.

Let’s not forget who conservatism’s real allies are.

He does not know what natural born citizen means.

You would be Ok with him deciding a child born to a Palestinian father and an American mother in Saudi Arabia is a natural born citizen eligible to be President?

A decision by the Supreme Court like that would gut in perpetuity the protection the natural born citizen clause provided before the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

No conservative in their right mind should vote for it (TPP).

I totally agree! Unfortunately, the unwashed here support those who are TPP advocates and liars.

I agree that the campaign is over.

But as a matter of principle, I don’t think he should get to determine what ‘natural born’ means

wow I did not even know about this Voting Violation deception...that is not acceptable behavior for a presidential or SC candidate. He should have resigned from the Senate for that
