I cant believe I once liked and supported Cruz.....he is a total fraud and we’ve been had.
Most all of us here liked Cruz at one time. We all had our turning points. Mine was the Rubio handshake at the debate when it was clear that Ted was going to follow the strategy that the GOPe had laid out for taking out Trump just a couple days before.
Trump hasn’t changed who he is during this campaign to make people like him more, it’s that Ted has done so much to make people like him less and less.
‘I cant believe I once liked and supported Cruz.....he is a total fraud and we’ve been had.’
Maine Gov. Paul LePage accused the Ted Cruz campaign Friday of going back on a promise to back a “unity slate” of the state’s delegates, a move that the Donald Trump supporter saw as “stabbing us in the back.”
In a statement, LePage said, “We reached a deal with Cruz’s national campaign to put up a unity slate that would honor the wishes of the thousands of Mainers who voted at caucus. But Cruz’s Northeast Political Director David Sawyer lied to us and broke the deal. Sawyer stabbed us in the back, reneged on the unity slate, and betrayed the people of Maine.”
The fight is emblematic of the intense battle for delegates heading into the Republican National Convention in July. Cruz’s campaign is pushing for every delegate it can collect to prevent Trump from winning the 1,237 he needs to win the nomination outright and force a floor fight. Both Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich need to win more delegates than are available in the remaining primary contests to win the GOP nomination on the first ballot.
Though he singled out Sawyer in his statement, LePage said the actions were emblematic of the Cruz campaign. “As we have seen throughout the country, Cruz’s national campaign is run by greedy political hoooligans.”
“I can’t stand by and watch as Cruz and the Republican Establishment forcibly overrule the votes of Mainers who chose Trump and Kasich,” he said. “I call on Senator Cruz to condemn Sawyer’s disrespectful and dishonest tactics in Maine.”

Cruz lost me when he blamed the violence at the Trump event in Chicago on Trump and not the liberal agitators
