Chuck Todd gets HEATED with Ted Cruz on Meet The Press

Chuck Todd got very frustrated with Ted Cruz over the Republican candidate refusing to answer his questions over and over. Every day Cruz gets a little more desperate and frantic.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

if it weren’t for the pimps for Trump he would be accountable for more than he has been. Just in this interview, it seems that Cruz is sticking to his principles while Trump has changed his. Trump just may be the chameleon that people won’t see his true colors until it’s too late.

Right. You've changed all our minds. We're all now going to vote for the Cubanadian.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Good point. But Cruz should answer the questions instead of constantly attacking Trump.

[w1andsodidwe]

Every interview this week-end with him has been impossible to listen to. He is finished.

[MichaelCorleone]

Get a clue - they’re not old enough to ‘hate’ their father, not that you would know that anyway.

And ‘Mommy’ may be rich, but we’ll see what Goldman does with her position when Ted can no longer run interference for them in Congress.

[JBW1949]

It’s not so much siding with Todd...it’s about Cruz’s actions and comments...

A stuffed poodle could be the interviewer and Cruz would say the same and get the same FR reaction...

Cruz is unable to have a conversation, unable to be authentic. He is always in campaign mode which is why he appears to have delusions of grandeur.

Grandiose delusions (GD) or delusions of grandeur are a subtype of delusion that occur in patients suffering from a wide range of mental illnesses. GDs are characterized by fantastical beliefs that one is famous, omnipotent, wealthy, or otherwise very powerful.

According to the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria for delusional disorders, grandiose-type symptoms include grossly exaggerated beliefs of:

self-worth
power
knowledge
identity

It time for Cruz to have an intervention. He's gone off the deep end. He has to remember he is a sitting Senator representing people in Texas, has a full time job he is neglecting and has zero interest in and is embarrassing himself. He is becoming a joke because he won't suspend his campaign when it is obvious he has lost. Is Cruz being black mailed? Either he is truly psychotic or he is being blackmailed. No other primary candidate has gone off the deep end like Cruz is doing.

[Nifster]

You would have lost that one today.

Killer line was bu Todd :”it is the voters that are rejecting you...”

[phoneman08]

Bet some of Ted’s TDS is from the nevertrump crowd he has surrounded himself with. Beck being the prime example.

[Nifster]

Read trumps two policy books and his position papers before making statements that make you sound silly

[bigbob]

Everybody hates Ted Cruz:

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Get a clue - they’re not old enough to ‘hate’ their father, not that you would know that anyway.

Then why do they run away from him screaming, and rebuff his hugs and kisses on video?

Why is the hot-blooded Cuban immigrant doing "the wild thing" with Carly Fiorina?

[hoosiermama]

Heidi needs to take thaw little girls, get a restraining order and get a far away from him as she can. The man is delusional and may harm himself or them when he is forced tonface reality

[StoneWallJack]

So the thread starter and the rest of the yappers on this thread prefer Chuck Todd over Ted Cruz???

Have you lost your freaking mind? How many times does one have to tell you that our nominee, Donald Trump, needs Ted Cruz conservatives to beat Hillary in November - or perhaps you don’t really want to beat Hillary?

If I was a Hillary supporter, I would be starting ridiculous threads like this one. Put the Cruz supporters at the neck of the Trump supporters and vice versa. It is the only way that she wins. Do you want to confess now - or are you waiting to reveal yourself in November?

[DoughtyOne]

There are pros and cons with Trump, just like there are with Ted.

I think Trump provides some very serious upsides.

He is going to bring Democrats into our camp. Those democrats will be support a platform that we like.

Sounds like a win/win to me.

[Rashputin]

". . . when Ted can no longer run interference for them in Congress."

The reality is the exact opposite of what I quote above from your comment.

Goldman values Hedi's connection to the Bush faction of the Republican party, Ted was occasionally useful because Hedi could sway him.

The reality is that we'll see where Ted ends up when Hedi isn't there to run interference for him.

[Milhous]

First Hannity goes off on him; then Wallace; then Megan Kelly and now Chuck Todd, you think the media is finally getting a backbone?

Caveat emptor: pagan Rome disgusts me.

They say that the only sin in Rome was being on the losing side. Media personalities want to avoid that sin.

Cruz is the archtypical narcissistic personality.

The foremost expert on the condition known as psychopathy, Canadian researcher Dr. Robert Hare, says that narcissistic psychopaths display certain obvious traits: notably a lack of attachment to others, impulsive decision-making, a lack of remorse, a tendency to rationalize what they do and to blame others, a charming and manipulative manner, and a lack of empathy.

Cruz has all of these qualities, along with a verbal fluency that borders on glibness. He/s also arrogant and never fails to grab the opportunity to exploit others.

Even without a formal diagnosis, descriptions of his words and behavior easily fit the prototype.

Notice that he/s obsessively competitive, with a drive toward perfection. He has this obsessive need to always be right, to create a favorable impression on others...... and he has to win.

Even worse, he cheats sometimes, and he lies. Or rather, he "rationalizes" a sticky situation to make it look different to others than it really is.

His most formidable weapon: a wealth of words that mesmerizes others. He/s an aggressive and intimidating salesman.

All of his educators say Cruz was academically gifted. He was not only the brightest student they had ever seen, but he was mature and poised w/ a compelling inner calmness. A perfect description of the traits of a psychopath....

And there's that ability to engage others in one's activities.....and the sudden but inevitable betrayal by once-loyal associates.

[Gator113]

I don’t think Chuck Todd was heated or frustrated. I don’t like Todd, but he played Cruz like a fish. He would let line out, real it in, let line out again and real him in again.

Cruz looked like the Lyin’ fool that he is.

[The Right wing Infidel]

Lying ted could not answer

[The Right wing Infidel]

Regardless of who the interviewer was , Cruz was sleazy and could not answer a simple question and dodged it over and over
