Cruz’s latest fight with fellow Republicans is a reminder: Many don’t like the guy
Washington Post ^ | Apr. 28, 2016 | Sean Sullivan and Ed O'Keefe

In the space of just 7 minutes here on Thursday, Ted Cruz reminded fellow Republicans that he has few friends in the party.

First he tangled with former House speaker John A. Boehner, a longtime foe who so dislikes Cruz that he labeled him “Lucifer in the flesh.” Then Cruz undercut another Republican, fellow presidential candidate John Kasich, who had entered into an alliance with him to stop GOP front-runner Donald Trump.

“There is no alliance,” Cruz told reporters on Thursday, acting as if a pact announced by his own campaign days before had never happened.

Minutes later, Kasich strategist John Weaver dispatched a cryptic tweet: “I can’t stand liars.”

Cruz may have looked promising at the beginning, when he was playing a conservative, but slowly the truth is emerging about the real Cruz.

Cruz didn’t exactly work well with Mitch McConnell either. Yeah, I am not Mitch fan but I believe Ted had a responsibility to try to work with him.

WTF ever....

I hear this childish Shiite “alot”.

“Better to be feared, than to be loved”....Nicollo Machiavelli

You Fkrs aren’t much liked either but, Cruz is a good and decent man, as well, a Constitutionalist, which is preferable to your statist and globalist crappola....

You should have seen him on Megyn Kelly’s show.

Dude is an utterly obnoxious, totally annoying unlikable t**t.

If the reports are even partially true Cruz is what we DO NOT WANT!

Please explain to me the constitutionality of the Corker Bill and why Ted Cruz cosponsored it and voted for it.

And no I am not interested in a link from the right scoop, just so you know.

Nobody fears him either — they just despise him.

Not a Cruz fan at all but tonight on Levin Sen Mike Lee was defending Cruz. Is he the only guy who likes Cruz? Or does he just approve of his policies?

There was always something creepy to me about Cruz...when I saw the day Trump announced, that’s who I was for...

After living in PA for 17 years, I was very well versed on Mr. Trump and liked him...I seen him from afar one day when I was in New York, he’s not a small man!!! He’s not fat, he’s tall and well built...

I like him because he is an American, and he’s funny, and he has the greatest family...and now that he is going to be our next POTUS, I am happy...

Mitch McConnell: Why no, the Senate won’t pass a resolution affirming Cruz’s eligibility like it did for McCain

The above is why Cruz went ballistic on Mitch... funny how now the ‘real’ liar is exposed.

Exactly. He’s neither loved nor feared. Loathed is more like it.

Cruz is a good and decent man

Who stood with BLM thugs and other assorted Soros-funded leftists on Fri 03/11, forcing Trump to cancel his rally in Chicago.

Typical of the Washington Compost. Eliminate the positive, accentuate the negative—always with the goal of never letting the truth get in the way of the agenda.

Out of one side of their faces they say that Cruz doesn’t have any friends in Dc and out of the other side of their face they say he is one of the establishment.

Good thing we can trust the Washington Post. They would never do a hit piece on a Republican candidate./s
