“No thanks. I’ll take ‘Gridlock and Shutdown’Cruz any day.”
You mean Cruz and his vote for the Obama agenda — TPA, Corker bill, two bills Obama salivated over? Yep, that is standing on principle, I tell you. Cruz stood rock solid with Obama as Obama literally fought for the United States. He does it all the time.
As far as deals are concerned, people complain about that as if it is foreign to American history. They have all of a sudden got so pure, the idea is repugnant to them. Remember the three-fifths compromise? That was a deal made by our Founders to get the Constitution adopted. Then you have other famous compromises, deals, such as The Missouri Compromise, The Compromise of 1850, the Compromise of 1877, and that is just a start.
I’ll grant you that Cruz has voted several times in ways I did not like (TPA and H1-Bs). So that is 2 strikes against him.
Now, how many strikes does Trump have? When he denigrated the TEA party? When he supported the assault weapons ban? When he supports ethanol subsidies? When he supported gay marriage? When he supported Planned Parenthood? When he criticized the deportation of illegals as “too harsh” (his own words)?
Why do Cruz’s past strikes count and Trump’s not?
