That's actually a pretty generous paragraph ... I don't believe Cruz doesn't know what's happened to him, or rather, that into which he's intentionally walked.
Rev. Franklin Graham hasn’t endorsed anyone and is not likely to endorse anyone. However, he has supported Trump on some issues.
No surprise that the Crus group tried to get their hands on the Eagle Forum MONEY!
What is Cruz putting in his Kool Aid?
Another Harvard Lawyer, Junior Senator, Sealed Birth Records, author of lies, Angel of DARKNESS.
Cruz is the white Obama.
Why don't you ask Mike Huckabee (a minister) and Rick Perry...
They both hired him in times past...
I guess that makes Huckabee endorsement of Trump suspect now ?
Dude, politics is a blood sport...Roe is a hard knuckle fighter...
Why would Trump hire a dirty sleazebag like Manafort, hired thug of Putin...
O' Wait... because he's a fighter...
Pull that beam out of your eye...hypocrite
There's an answer, people just don't want to accept it. Just like the question why would a Christian not contradict someone who said they were the fulfillment of Mormon prophecy.
Ted's a walking false flag operation or Marxist Harvard profs wouldn't brag about how smart he is. When's the last time you heard any of the same sort of folks brag about Bork, Thomas, or even Scalia, all people with a record other than their law school efforts these profs focus on?
That's trash about how sharp Ted was in law school is just a signal to the big donors that they don't have to worry about Ted, not any real indication of what a good student he was no matter whether he was or not. Look at Roberts, that's what Ted would fill the court with. Two faced SOBs just like Ted.
For some strange reason all the people yammering about Ted and the USSC don't realize that to a law professor, the best student is the one that can argue either side of an issue with equal ease. All that "smart lawyer" cuts both ways. Enough with electing lawyers, it doesn't work in the best interests of the nation to have Congress full of people who can justify both sides of every issue with equal ease.
Which are you, gullible or evil?
This guy Jeff Roe has his fingerprints on everything
****
Wasn’t what happened to Phyllis exactly what Amanda Carpenter meant by her blacklist?
I don’t see how Cruz can benefit from this controversy.
Honest and factual, even if it hurts some weasels feelings.
This is like a Freeper sending a private message of mine about how Cruz is a bread-faced mutant and Heidi a Goldman Sachs globalist to the Cruz campaign. Why is the private communication of a private individual of a private, non-Cruz organization any business of Jeff Roe, Cruz's dirty campaign manager?
Cruz made a deal with the Devil.
Now the Devil is demanding Cruz destroy Conservative causes.
“Why don’t you ask Mike Huckabee (a minister) and Rick Perry...”
These two have to answer for themselves. Trump is not the candidate walking around with a Bible. Ted Cruz built his whole persona around Christian values, so it’s his burden to bear. And it will cost him in the end.
One thing “squishy Republicans and Independents” hate for sure is a phony priest. And I’m still puzzled by the fact that Cruz lost the SEC primary so badly. What did all those Evangelicals see that drove them away from him and into Camp Trump?
Not hardly.
In a Thursday post on Facebook, the Rev. Franklin Graham defended Donald Trump's support for building a wall along the United States border with Mexico, and called on Pope Francis to "build a bridge" to the Republican presidential candidate.
The Pope on Thursday said that anyone who wants to build walls, rather than bridges, "is not Christian" when asked about Donald Trump.
"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian," Pope Francis said. "This is not in the Gospel."
Trump quickly denounced the Pope's comments as "disgraceful."
Graham did not go as far as Trump, but defended calls to build a border wall.
"I agree that as Christians we should try to build bridges with everyone that we possibly can, but that doesn’t mean that we should compromise our national security," Graham wrote.
The reverend wrote that numerous presidential candidates support building a wall "in order to protect America from enemies who want to use the U.S./Mexican border as a way to enter our country and do us harm."
"Are they not Christian either? My advice to the Pontiff—reach out and build a bridge to Donald Trump," Graham wrote. "Who knows where he may be this time next year!"
Franklin Graham says Pope should build a bridge to Donald Trump
‘Pull that beam out of your eye...hypocrite’
Romans 14:4
Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
Phyllis is a Champion of the right. She will always be an Icon. The great conservative Loze, is trying to destroy her, an us.
Nevertheless, the overall point stands. Someone still wrote a "very ugly" email about Cruz (which is probably an apt-description, else it wouldn't have been a big deal), and the repercussions of that email are what caused the problem.
I don't see how that is the fault of the Cruz campaign given that they obviously didn't know about the email until someone on the Board itself gave it to them.
Off topic but, just curious where in the Boston area did you live? I grew up there (W. Roxbury) and worked in construction, so luckily most of my friends were in the trades and more conservative.
Boston sure can be tough for a conservative.
Not judging you, just pointing out you are holding Cruz to a standard on who he hires all the while not holding Trump to the same standard...
In other words your position is hypocritical..
At various times I lived in Somerville, Cambridge, Lynn, Belmont and Stoneham. I worked in Cambridge, Dorchester and Boston. Not too familiar with W. Roxbury. I listened to Howie Carr more years than I can count, so that made me feel less isolated as a conservative.
Btw, I attended Grace Chapel in Lexington. I was present when Gordon MacDonald took the congregation to task for not believing Bill Clinton’s finger-wagging-sex-denial. I was not present when the elders took Pastor MacDonald to the woodshed. ;)
