SENATOR Ted Cruz may be dubbed the most despised man in Washington but he is certain God wants him to be the next president of the US.

What is disconcerting is the paradox that such a religious person as Cruz can attract such hatred. If you think hatred is a strong word this is what Cruz’s college room-mate says of him: “I would rather have anybody else be the president of the United States. Anyone. I would rather pick somebody from the phone book.”
In case the US did not get the message, Craig Mazin – now a scriptwriter – added: “Ted Cruz will become the thing you need him to be so that he wins an election. No principles, no moral centre, no values. Just ambition.”

Ted GETTY, Trump's senior policy advisor said said Cruz was a Wall Street globalist
The dawning realisation that it could be Cruz prompted Trump’s most senior policy adviser to tell an audience in Wisconsin: “I’m going to tell each and every one of you the real truth about Ted Cruz. He is a radical Wall Street globalist who will rip the beating heart of manufacturing out of the United States of America.”
Strong stuff. Trump weighed in this way: “He’s a nasty guy. Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him.”

When asked which politician they would like to run for president many people who have worked with him closely say anyone but Cruz.
One political strategist who worked with Cruz in George W Bush’s campaign office tweeted that: “If a truth serum was given to the staff of the 2000 Bush [campaign team] an enormous percentage would vote for Trump over Cruz.”

This is a guy who lived with Cruz, and spent time with him. His comments about Cruz are far different than what I would have expected, which is something along the lines of "Well, Ted is a conservative Constitutionalist to the core, though I don't agree with him on politics, that is just who he is..."
Guy said Ted will be whoever and whatever he needs to be to win, and this concerns me...
Anyone ever that’s run for president has thought that or they wouldn’t run.
Ted is out of luck. The GOP designated loser this cycle will be John Kasich. Maybe it will be Ted’s turn to be designated loser in 2020.
If you had read the article or my comments instead of just the first sentence, you would understand that is not what troubles me...
With all due respect, you really need to learn to read farther before knee-jerk reaction posts....
The masses truly are asses, the uneducated underclass.
paraphrasing a tagline on FR:
If God had wanted Ted Cruz to be President, he would have been born here
This is the exact opposite of the truth
Being Christian and conservative in America earns unrelenting hatred
That’s why it’s easier to hold New York values
“The masses truly are asses, the uneducated underclass.”
Did you mean the “poorly educated”?
I am not concerned with his faith being reported...can you please read past the first sentence?
“If you had read the article or my comments instead of just the first sentence, you would understand that is not what troubles me...”
I don’t care what troubles you.
I was commenting on the title of the article.
Oy. Why?
We already have one messiah in the White House.
We don’t need another.
Out of a country of hundreds of millions, Cruz, Trump, Kasich, Hillary and Sanders is what we’ve been given to vote on?
What, no one else wanted to be owned by whatever is controlling the country?
I think he’s a creepazoid - something about him just gives me the shivers - like Obama only different
Nobody likes Cruz. The six million people that voted for him must be hypnotized or something.
and that smug attitude that unfortunately many visual Christian portrait will get him soundly defeated in Nov IF he connives with the establishment he said he was against at first...but proved to be someone that will lay down with anyone for self gratification...prostitution and policlinics are very similar
Local talkradio station host said he had a chance to meet him once back before this campaign. Introduced himself in a proper setting to do so, and said he got brushed off rudely. Got the impression that Cruz decided in a second that he wasn’t useful to him and that was it.
He said before that he thought he was a fan, and still maybe could be. But says he was left with a poor impression of him.
It’s the ignoranus class,the weak minded,the “just look at that shiny thing” types.
Seriesly, 300 million people in this country and its Trump, Clinton, Sanders and Ed Grimley?
1) Everybody who went to college thought at least one of their roommates was an @$$#0!ₑ.
2) One has to be something of an @$$#0!ₑ oneself to still be going on about it 20 or 30 years later.
3) Jerks who do go public about their roommates 30 years back are likely to give the worst possible picture of those roommates, because they are jerks themselves.
It seems so obvious to me, I don’t know how others can’t see it.
