And isn’t it interesting that before Donald Trump got in the race, almost everyone on that list who “hates” Cruz, we would have considered it a badge of honor that such was the case?

Isn’t it interesting that if such a article would be printed about Trump, it would barely be read and immediate labelled a hit piece?

Isn’t it interesting that indeed it probably is a hit piece since they mention some screen writer roommate, but neglect to mention roommate David Panton, who was Cruz’s best man at his wedding and endorsed him for president, in a thread also that can be found last year on Free Republic?

If EVERYONE hated him at Princeton, how, pray tell, did he get elected to University Council at Princeton University, which he says he later chaired, in his book A Time for Truth?

In that same book, if I recall, Cruz himself admits that he was probably, I’ll say, a little too “eager” when working on Bush’s campaign team.

I don’t think Cruz is a perfect person or a perfect candidate... merely the best in this year’s field.

Isn’t jealousy a “lovely” thing?

There ARE, apparently btw, people who can be found who associated with Mr. Trump, either having worked for him in the past or who had some other dealings with him, who hate him as well.

This is all fascinating and frustrating to watch as Donald Trump comes in and does two things.

He successfully divides the conservative or Republican base and turns us against one another.

He drags, ever so slightly and ever so discretely, but bit by bit, his part of the conservative base who have jumped on his bandwagon slightly but increasingly to the left of where you probably all once were. And everyone on that ride leftward goes “Wheeeee!”, being none the wiser. The things the GOPe said we HAD to do as a party, or as a base, moving more toward the middle, Donald is doing that for them, all while screaming about a wall and Muslims so that no one on that bandwagon really notices.

The "I KNEW TRUMP AND I HATE HIM" article has been posted.

Trump is NOT the "divider" at all; he is a UNITER !

As to Ted's book, he did lie about some things...or perhaps was lied to about what he wrote. Whose to say that there aren't more lies, therein, that we don't know about...yet.
