Ted Cruz using anyone or anything to win. No thanks. Why bring this up now. It is politically expedient, that is why.

“Ted Cruz using anyone or anything to win. No thanks. Why bring this up now. It is politically expedient, that is why”

I had kind of the same reaction. There is just something about Cruz that I don’t like. Sometimes he seems too cheezy and too prepared. I’m not sure he’s likeable to independents or women. I’m a woman and most women I know don’t like him either.

Oh, give it up already!

We get it that you loathe, fear, despise and are sickened at the thought of a Pres. Cruz!

One is still able to discuss unpleasant things or tragedies from ones own family if one is running for office today. Those things are sure to come up or be dug up by the same "investigative crack reporters," that ignored a history of known recent drug use, family history and intimate friends of Barack Hussein Obama!

Since we've been treated to hourly obnoxious, and incessant bragging about all things by the Trumpster!

Do us all a favor and skip on by any article that even mentions the name Cruz and go rain on someone else's parade!

Have a nice day!

Or maybe because it is relevant to problems that NH is dealing with right now. Don't you think NH voters who are struggling with the problems in their families caused by drug addiction or alcoholism might want to know the candidate understands what they are dealing with?

Would you prefer he mock someone's physical disability before a large crowd & on camera?

Trump’s brother died of alcoholism. That is why he doesn’t drink and never did. I also understand Trump’s children do not drink. Trump makes no issue about it. Cruz is trying though.

The people are electing someone to represent them. Cruz is telling them he can relate to their experiences firsthand. You think candidates should try extra hard to cover up their life story so that they can relate LESS to the common man? What planet are you on?

He was speaking in a church and related how faith is an important part of his life...in other words expedient to his audience

----Every one of us who has dealt with these demons — or who has dealt with loved ones grappling with these demons — everyone knows that these are personal journeys,” Cruz said. ----

---- “Faith and a relationship with God can be a powerful, powerful element in turning that around,” he added, citing his father’s own method for escaping alcohol addiction.----

Just like say Trump would recount a business story, if he was meeting with a group of business man ....

You need to get a grip...

Saw a poll the other night wherein NH Citizens ranked drug use/overdose/culture as the #1 problem facing their state, more than the economy, healthcare, terrorism, etc. And it is literally, dead serious...as so in many other parts of the country.
