Ted Cruz, the man who believes god wants him to be president
Daily Express ^ | April 8, 2016 | Chris Roycroft-Davis

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.

snip

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.”

snip

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.”

snip

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.”

Humans have an amazing ability to instantly detect BS in someone sometimes.

BTW, I love that stabby the clown. You need to trademark that.

Though I don’t know if Cruz and Trump agree on 80%, I appreciate your position—You are a rarity here.

The reason I posted this article is not for the rhetoric but for the fact that someone who knew him well says he is not who he seems...Cruz supporters are in love with who they think Cruz is—but is he really who he says? That is my question and concern!

I am extremely concerned that Cruz is not who he says he is...that is in fact a Trojan Horse.

The specific actions about Ted that concern me are his positions on H-1B Visas, his agreement with McConnel not to support Tea Party candidates in 2014, and his trade votes in addition to fact that he has taken many of Trump’s positions as his own ideas...

Frankly the media—Faux News, Levin, Limbaugh, and Freepers here are making it very difficult to want to act like good sports at a soccer game and shake hands...

But we will see what happens in Cleveland, maybe the mending process will occur.

Thanks again.

Imagine voting for a religious person who believes that God DOESN’T want him to be President. Now THAT would be weird.

‘Being Christian and conservative in America earns unrelenting hatred’

Being a conservative and Christian in America would generally preclude telling nonstop malicious, vile and shameful lies about another person.

Finally a factual article about traitor to the country Cruz. Hope more come. We need this globalist fraud known. Yes only 4 states voted for him legitimately but that’s 4 too many.

Stabby the Clown was invented by another. I am unable to take credit for it.

;)

As to your first statement, I had a guy approach a friend of mine (an older woman) and myself (dude) with some cockamamie story about how he was looking for some C&W star (many will know the name). He wanted to know if we knew where he was. Arms folded, I looked him in the eye and asked him what made him think we would know? I suggested he go look elsewhere, about 300 feet away. He played dumb and then acted like he went that way.

About 10-15 minutes later I could feel something, and there is this clown staring at me about 150 feet away in a crowd.

I was on to him and he didn’t like it. My friend thought I was crazy but I told her, I’ve met and worked with enough frauds (including a company full of them, a respected company) that I’m able to make them immediately and when I do, they don’t like it one bit.

This guy was lying from the start, had some unknown agenda, and thought he was slick as Willy. I read him like a book.

You seem to have establishment liberal sensitivities.

Nor are you not a propagandist for Trump, as opposed to people who favor him and discuss their reasons.

There are plenty of honorable Trump supporters.

Then there are those like you embalmed in Stone who actually harm Trump’s image, likability and chances.

Lies, distortions, smears, character assassination based in lies and hate mongering is your stock in trade and it is transparent.

The title is misleading, according to the article, "Ted “looked up and said: ‘Lord, here am I, use me. I surrender to you, whatever you want.’”

That's certainly not an indicator that God want's him to become president........It sounds more like a profession of faith............How many Christians here can admit to that?

The MSM needs to stay out of religion........

Trump’s unrepentant narcissism concerns me.

“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”

So anyone who doesn’t like Cruz is a “hater”?
You forgot “racist” and “stupid”.

“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.”

I’ll bet he’s a “hater”!
More weak ad hominem.

You keep lying about Cruz being conservative. I would hate to be you on judgement day. God will not be mocked.

Take a look at his twitter. He seems totally obsessed with Ted Cruz. He also has a potty mouth.

Why do some people think God only cares about who is the President of the United States? Does God care about who is the President of Iran?

If God had the will to anoint Cruz as the President of the United States, then why doesn’t God will to anoint who will be the President of Iran?

Or Russia?

Or? ...

If Cruz actually has ideas that he was anointed to be such by Divine Power, and indications are that he was brainwashed by his dad to actually have such delusional and dangerous ideas, then he needs to be stopped before he has his hands on our military and the finger on the nukes.

Seriously.

If God had wanted Cruz to be president he would have given him a pleasant speaking voice.

http://www.ontheissues.org/Senate/Ted_Cruz.htm

I have read a whole lot of Ted Cruz material throughout his career. Due to scheduling conflicts, I never worked for his campaigns, but I saw him as someone I might want to work for, so I watched. I followed both Cruz and Rubio to see if either was and would stay what they claimed before and during their US Senate campaigns. Rubio obviously failed. Cruz is not perfect, but I was happy with what he did far more than 90% of the time. The above link gives his positions with dates on the major issues, so you can see where he had a drastic change as opposed to just different details for essentially the same position.

I’m certain Cruz doesn’t agree with you (or with me) 100% of the time, but I’m just as confident that Trump doesn’t either. I am far more confident that Cruz is what he presents himself as than I am with Trump, and I’m comfortable enough with Trump that I’ll be voting for him.
