It’s funny how the tables turn over time. Ted Cruz is the only one left who can pose any real challenge to Donald Trump‘s Republican nomination, and now, figures from the political establishment are asking him to make nice with them before they agree to coalesce around his campaign.
While his uncompromising stances distinguished Cruz as the junior U.S. Senator from Texas, years of stunts like shutting down the government and calling Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a liar have caused many of his colleagues to dislike him. According to CNN, Sen. John Cornyn and others have called on Cruz, after he won Texas, advising him speak to the Senate GOP Conference to get their backing.
“I think he’s got some bridges to build here,” said Sen. John Thune. “I think it would be helpful obviously for him if he thinks he is going to be the guy

People in TX like John Cornball and Joe Straus, both San Antonioans; they are convinced that both are “conservatives”.
The GOP leaders are the ones that should be apologizing and begging forgiveness.
Dear Senators, I’m sorry I called the liars *liars* and embarrassed all of you treasonous swine who have treated your scared oath to uphold the Constitution as little more than a window dressing formality. By actually doing what I said I was going to do I realize I have broken a long standing tradition in this corrupt sleazy Senate of lying to get in the door and collaborating up with all the public trough thieves so I can get my own chunk of the loot. Please accept my apology.
No there is not. They are a bunch of spoiled jerks who care more about the club atmosphere than they do about anything else.
After Rush has dank from the poisoned chalice Beck handed to Cruz, man am I glad I chose a non-controversial screen name. ;-)
Yes. Cornelio needs to go.
Wait a second, this story can’t be true.
I’ve seen over, and over, and over, and over again that Cruz is part of the establishment. That he was a sleeper put in the race to trick conservatives. That he was part of the Washington cabal that he fought against.
I mean, if he is part of the establishment and a Washington/Wall Street insider, why are those very people saying he needs to apologize in order to get their support?
I think someone is lying!
I’m at a loss as to what Cruz has to apologize about. I’d think it should be the other way around.
I hate autocorrect. I meant Cornholio.
dank = DRANK.... damned lazy fingers
The moment of truth will come soon for Teddy. Mitch McConnell will say “Ted Cruz, you see my ring here, that means I’m The LEADER!. I am waiting for you to kiss my ring. You heard me!”
Ted might say “Mitch McConnell, you see my a*s here? That mean’s I’m a full grown man. I am waiting FOR YOU SIR, to kiss my full grown Cuban-Canadian-American a*s. DID YOU HEAR ME, Sir?
Next morning...News Flash..Ted Cruz Suspending campaign, ‘having lunch’ with The Donald.
I don’t think so. I think they are absolutely this vain. I believe they are willing to let everything go to hell to maintain the rules of the club. I also believe that Cruz is all you said and they simply do not like him and are vain enough to act like this about it.
Cruz should withdraw from the presidential race and give his support to Trump if he truly wants to destroy the DC cabal!
Heh. I will have to change it soon. :) I have ‘fallen out of love’ with that @sshat.
As the saying goes: With "friends" like this, who needs enemies?
They should apologize to us for all the leftist crap we've had to endure for the last 8 years-because they did NOTHING to fight Obama's agenda.
“If Cruz was smart he’d tell Trump he’ll drop out to be his VP...”
He should be making that deal.
If he doesn’t give them a big “eff you!” he’s toast.
Cruz as Trump’s VP?! Just the thought of Cruz having anything to do with this country makes me want to take a shower. He’s as filthy as any of the dems including The Beast or the Vermint Marxist.
Fine by me! I’ve been p*issed since around 2008.
Might check with the mods to see if you can keep your seniority. Have them change it to: I will freepmail you the nick suggestion.
