"Nooooo!" shouts Cruz half-heartedly as he lounges in the briar patch.
"There's a lot of people who don't feel he can appeal to people across the board," [Orrin] Hatch said. "For us to win, we have to appeal the moderates and independents. We can't just act like that only one point of view is the only way to go. That's where Ted is going to have some trouble."...
"An awful lot of us really didn't like to be targeted as corrupt, establishment bought by the lobby establishment," [Dan] Coats added. "It sure looks like someone was using it as a way to gain notoriety as the only true conservative in Washington."...
"I think people are concerned," [John] Cornyn told CNN. "Because obviously the top of the ticket will have a big bearing on whether we'll hold a majority of the Senate. We don't need any headwinds from the top of the ticket. We need some tailwinds."...
"There's no doubt he has harmed relationships among people," said Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee. "I would assume that all members would work with the elected president for the good of the country. But there is no doubt there would be strains in the working relationship."

I see some GOPe coming out in favor of Trump.
I see that Trump has donated to McConnell and endorsed McConnell in 2014.
I see Trump channeling McConnell and the GOPe blaming Cruz for not getting along.
I see Trump with his position on amnesty similar to the GOPe's position on amnesty.
I see Trump being a populist rather than a constitutional conservative and I know the GOPe couldn't care less about constitutional conservatism.
I see Trump saying that he wants to make deals, just like the GOPe wants to make deals.
Is all of that a bunch of head fakes.
Of course not.
We’ll have to agree to disagree.
To Trump I think this is all business, not personal. That is, as long as he is the winner. It’s easy to be gracious when you are the winner and that is what Trump is all about. He is smart and practical. I think he will want to bring Cruz back in once he wins because he will need Cruz.
Hey, it's just an observation and a theory.
The most important thing to me is that the right man win the election for the sake of the country....I think both Cruz and Trump have an amazing opportunity to change the course of the USA....I don't expect either one can correct it but if one of them can change it from the destructive path we've been on for the last 100 years, then more power to them!
Either one of them to me is a step in the right direction toward the destruction of the DC cabal, wither one has my enthusiastic vote.
Oh....you didn’t see the girls then...
LOL
Did any of you see them women? LOL
And hell no. That jet is CGI...If there was one...and I didn’t see it...
Then he must be God. Oh, I forgot - to Cruzbots - he is.
I don’t expect anything less from the Cruzbots who circle the wagons to protect little Teddy. It had nothing to do with telling them to do their jobs - and you know it. Don’t write such stupid things.
Talk about a fool. I hope you don’t have a huge meltdown when he loses in the primaries.
Yeah, he called them out alright when he voted for the Corker bill, didn’t he? How would you feel if on a job for a number of years and some snot-nosed, newly hired kid came in and tried to tell you what to do? I rest my case.
I see the IHOP gang is here.
Have you considered therapy to address your anger issues? And don’t tell me what to do, fool.
No he doesn't. Where else are the conservatives gonna go? Stay home and let Hillary win?
OMGee! Can't be having that stuff.
Like the one guy in the shop who doesn't spend an hour or two a day screwing off, he's in the cross hairs.
I see you learned nothing from President Romney.
Go along get along, if that suits you. No one is perfect but if you think Dole and McConnell are the cats meow and doing a great job I can see how you would hate Cruz calling them out for their moral and ethical cowardice.
I saw the girls too, but thought they were Freepers supporting Trump.
.
Depressing, is it not!
Damn them...
Only in that it is so difficult to get people to see the ‘cult of personality’ they are engaging in is precisely what got us Obama. I expect similar results if they persist. Another ‘super hero’ promising them the moon and stars yet already trading off their future for special interest votes, and out in the open no less, while they applaud.
