Thanks but I’ll take my advice from people with principles.
Collegiality is important in the Senate and they will let you know for sure.
Cruz is doing exactly what I sent him there to do.
I am 100% satisfied with the job he is doing in the Senate.
It may not be realistic to hope that Cruz wins, but that is still my hope.
Nonsense. Of course Cruz is ready.
And much, much more so than some liberal thin-skinned reality-show celebrity.
“...if the real estate mogul drops out of the race.”
I don’t want a mush mouth-—I want a direct, plain-spoken fighter, and a aolid Constitutional conservative. That’s why I support Cruz.
The opposite extreme of a mush-mouth is a loud, flailing, insult-throwing child; that’s what you’ve put your support behind.
With the world burning down, that’s the last thing we need. Never confuse loud bombast with effectiveness.
LOL, such rich, delicious irony.
Getting those crossover voters worked great for McCain and Romney /s
Maybe we need someone to excite the base and promote conservative ideas!!
THAT.
Its ridiculous to believe Cruz would accept a VP slot from Captain Clownhair anyway. Despite the fact that Cruz doesn’t attack him or anyone else in the race, they’re still widely opposed on too many issues.
Donnie supports normalization with Cuba, Cruz doesn’t. Donnie supports keeping the Iran deal, Cruz doesn’t. Donnie Supports the renewable fuel standards and ethanol subsidies, Cruz doesn’t. Donnie supports some version of Obamacare, Cruz doesn’t. There are many many more.
It is kind of interesting that many of his supporters are dropping their claim that Donnie is some kind of conservative and are going with the old “electability” standby which fails every time its tried.
who was it? Rubio? that said Cruz has no friends in the Senate..
I don’t doubt it. he is rocking the boat, forcing the rino’s to show their liberal colors..
I hope TX keeps sending him back if we can’t send him to the white house.
And not one of these da** things you mentioned will matter if our country is overrun with illegals. Ethanol standards are way down on my bucket list. You don’t have a clue about his healthcare either - he has repeatedly said private - what part of private don’t you understand? What some of you don’t understand is that these doors have been opened - with Cuba and the Iran deal. By the time the election rolls around - it will have to be cleaned up - too much water will have flowed under that bridge by that time. But, hey, you can live with your delusions if you want. I’m not going to try and destroy your fantasies.
Oooorrrr...
he is the only effective person in a ineffective body..
Cruz has been reluctant to criticize Trump and has often played up their policy similarities ... .
********
Cruz is correct not to participate in a candidate circular firing squad. His steady, here’s-what-I-would-do approach may well prevail.
Some of these people are so in love with Trump they can’t imagine anyone else not being smitten with him. They seem to imagine Cruz got into the race and is working his butt off so he can be Trump’s lapdog.
Cruz is in this to win. And you’re absolutely right-—solid conservative that he is, he would never hitch his wagon to a liberal.
What happened to short-term memory, anyway? It’s been only three years since the last “electable” candidate in a long string of “electables” lost.
“Captain Clownhair”....LOL
Well, To this native Texan he is my first choice.
I dont want Cruz in the worthless VP slot.After his pro-Obama, pro-Iran, anti Israel Corker vote he's not worthy of any public office.We are better off with him in the Senate than that.
Aside from that the VP is the President of the Senate and can be the tie breaker vote when needed.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz is close behind and is the second choice for more than a third of the mogul's supportersIOW, even if "the mogul" (as if that's a bad thing) drops out, he can't even win his own state.
I'd rather be tagged a mogul than a lawyer...but that's just me.
