Thursday on MSNBCs MTP Daily, in a preview clip of Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruzs (R-TX) town hall, while discussing when he accused Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, of lying back in July, Cruz declared every word he said was true and accurate.
Cruzs echoed the sentiment he had shared in a CNN interview last week, in which he refused to apologize to McConnell for the accusation.
Partial transcript as follows:
TODD: You called the senate majority leader a liar on the senate floor. Thats not sat well with your colleagues. Do you regret calling him a liar on the senate floor?
CRUZ: You know Washington is an amazing place. when somebody stands up and lies to you, someone else points out that they lied

This Trump supporter completely believes Cruz on this one.
I don’t know how someone can believe Turtle over Cruz.
Trump is a deductive thinker - he begins with the goal and works back from there - no wasted motion - only what contributes to the result.— Bill Mitchell (REAL) (@mitchellvii) March 21, 2016
Guys like Cruz are inductive thinkers. They are so obsessed with the ideological front end, the actual result is an afterthought.— Bill Mitchell (REAL) (@mitchellvii) March 21, 2016
Cruz is a liar. Mr. Trump said so and so it must be true.
If he's a liar, then how can you believe anything about him?
Look:
Shouldn't trust ANYTHING he says...after all, he's lyin' Ted. Isn't that right?
You're such a blind sheep, not looking to find the truth, just believing what your master says.

Some things are not worth saying. I liked it when Ted did that, I liked it a LOT. But I dont believe for a second it did the cause of advancing conservatism any good whatsoever. Heres a great article about it;
Honesty versus Brutal Frankness

You end up harming yourself more than anyone else by saying things that though true harm your own self interests in a dishonest way. Like this;
.Ted Cruz talks about watching hardcore porn with his daughters in the audience (at the family town hall) .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML6lpDP8c20
T. CRUZ: He would be someone that you would be a fool not to look at seriously. Hes very, very talented. And, you know, you asked if Marco and I are friends. Let me tell you a story.
So last year, I wrote a book called A Time for Truth. And in the book, one of the chapters is talking about the year I spent as a law clerk at the Supreme Court. And it describes the chapter begins with me watching pornography on the Internet with Sandra Day OConnor, which was a bit of a bizarre experience.
(LAUGHTER)
It was the first of the Internet porn cases to go to the court, and the court librarians were showing the justices what the Internet was, and theyd pull it up, and the story I told, I was clerking for Chief Justice Rehnquist. They paired the chief justice and Justice OConnor and their law clerks were in this little room looking at this computer screen that pulls up hardcore porn. And Justice OConnor I still remember, she leaned forward and she squinted and said, Oh, my!
But the Marco piece of this so the book comes out and there were some you know, reporters thought that was a funny story, so they wrote about that story. And Im on a plane and Marco texts me and says, Holy cow, you watched porn? Our oppo researchers missed that.
(LAUGHTER)
Now that was funny. And listen, hes got a good sense of humor. I laughed when he sent that text.

Well if trump says it then it must be true. Lol
You’re losing all credibility.
Good one..
Trump knows everything. He’s been on every side of every issue several times.
Thanks, driftdiver.
5th ave drones are all the rage.
Me too.
What Ted is saying is, McConnell lied when he said he doesn’t like Trump or Cruz. Ted now knuws McConnell likes him. But, Ted is also a liar. McConnell NEVER said he doesn’t like Trump and Cruz. McConnell only said he doesn’t like Trump. Anyway, the GOPe doesn’t like this voting nonsense, so they got double agent delegates which is how everything should be from now on, to hell with voting and Ted Cruz agrees. In one way, they both agree: lyin’ works. Your “a Lion if you’re Lyin’”. They will have a lot to say at the Hollywood Beach thingy coming up, then lie about it later. The main thingy is, stop voting, start delegating. Top down. Top Dog!
Sorry Mark, I did not catch it.
So his goal with the casino was to go bankrupt?
You must have some good knee pads.
Trying to avoid the GOPe label, even though he’s earned it.
Trump said that Cruz is a “reasonable liar.”
All my lies are reasonable.
Trump said it before he didn't say it before he said it again before he denied it. He is either a pathological liar, has split personality disorder or has dementia.
BTW, did you know that when people call Trump - Drumpf, they are using his families historic German name to mock him? I didn't realize it until I looked up his parents. I thought they were just mocking him as a big dumb oaf.
Oaf. A large, clumsy, slow witted buffoon. One that acts oaffishly. You [censor] oaf! by Schmark March ... Oafs have big skulls and limited intelligence. Slow witted ... and they say, we are going to win win win and you are going to be tired of winning winning winning and beg us not to win win win so much.
