This kind of stuff is just silly and dishonest to say.
It’s as if he wants to see just how over the top he can go before his supporters start questioning their support. I’ve felt that way for a few months. I question whether he really wants to be president.
I think this was supposed to go like last time he ran, but it got a life of its own and he’s trying to figure out a way to kill it without being obvious.
It’s accurate: Cruz’s most recent lie is when he stated that he “did not nominate Roberts, would not nominate Roberts” when accused of supporting Roberts. Cruz had a hard on so bad for Roberts he was pushing him badly even before he got into the senate, writing that Roberts was the “best ever” litigator, “second to none,” a “true conservative” “like the President who nominated him.”
There are many other lies told by the Cruz campaign. Another is the immigration issue. Cruz conflates the pathway to citizenship with legalization, so that he can claim he was always against legalization. He uses Sessions to prove this conflation, after he has already confused the issue. But Sessions, Mike Lee, not even Rush Limbaugh, were opposing legalization during the Gang of Eight fight either. Hush Bimbo himself declared on his radio program that deportation was unrealistic, and he ridiculed callers as “seminar callers” when they tried to sing a different tune.
Cruz is offering an anachronism, claiming he opposed “amnesty,” when, in fact, he called legalization part of “common sense immigration reform.” He supported this position even after the gang of eight fight was over. And for 9 straight months during this campaign cycle, Cruz refused to remove legalization of illegals off the table when directly asked by Chuck Todd, Megyn Kelly and others.
But Cruz’s supporters, despite all this history, insist that Cruz is white as snow, even though he lies constantly.
