Chuck Todd gets HEATED with Ted Cruz on Meet The Press
Red State Watcher ^ | 5/1/2016

Posted on 05/01/2016 7:10:40 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

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.

"I think that if Trump wins, he will disappoint you."

I'll let you in on a little secret. It's sorta like in Lonesome Dove where Gus McCrae, the character Robert Duvall plays, says that just once in his life he'd like the opportunity to shoot at an educated man.

A lot of Trump supporters would like to just once in their life to have the opportunity to be disappointed in a Nationalist Populist instead of some Republican SOB who swore on a stack of Bibles he was a "Principled Reagan Conservative" shortly before stabbing those who voted for him and the nation as a whole in the back.

I think your romance is going to end badly. I prefer that Trump win. God knows, I cannot stand the thought of a Clinton presidency. But I do not trust Trump.

You remember wrong. It was the debate when Ted and Rubio machine gunned Trump from each side with accusations.

Just like Ben Shapiro told them they should do a couple days before.

Ted fired the first volley and lost my support that very night. Up until then, I was for both of them and liked the battle.

If you buy access to Washington politicians, either democrat or Republican, like Trump has freely admitted, that makes you a Washington Insider. Cruz did not lie. Trump and his Trumpbots are the liars.

Who owns Cruz? He has some high power donors. I have read that he is obligated to some same sex guys in New York City. Remember same rules apply to both candidates.. And in case you have not heard Trump is self funding, so he does NOT owe any big time donors.

Trumpbots subscribe to the theory “...The enemy of my enemy is my friend...”. Anyone who says anything bad about the donald, even if it’s true (especially if it’s true), is automatically their enemy.

I recall how Cruz was the nicest of all the opponents to Trump. Then Trump turned on Cruz; that’s where the animus started. Was it mid-December? I’m afraid the mantra “Lyin’ Ted” is not going away.

Wrong, it was Cruz in a debate that trashed Trump's New York values, and Cruz said some people could question Trump's 'natural born' US citizenship. That debate is when I knew Cruz was a fake. IF you need I will give you a link to that debate.

“it is truly strange times when FR sides with a slimeball like chuck todd over ted cruz”

Not TOO strange: after all, if one is FORCED to pick between two slimeballs, one usually picks the least slimiest one.

“Cruz in a debate that trashed Trump’s New York values”

There was also a tape recording that came out of Ted Cruz at a high dollar donor meeting in NYC (yup..Ted’s been lying to us all along). He was telling them that he wasn’t really friendly to Trump; just stringing him along, but when the time was right, he would go after him.

The way he said it was even worse; Ted’s condescending mocking voice. The MSM ran with it. Trump loaded the guns after that.

“AND 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”

You’re brilliant elucidation of Cruz’s plan to save America has convinced me: I’m switching from Trump to Cruzina.

-—You haste because you think Trump really is the guy he plays on reality television and you need Cruz to be the villain. I think that if Trump wins, he will disappoint you.

While Cruz will disappoint those who think that because he wears cowboy boots, he’s a real rootin’ tootin’ cowboy.

One is a developer, a best selling author, and a reality tv show creator

The other is a politician/televangalist/harvard lawyer/1st term senator with sealed records who was born in Canada.

I’m already disappointed in one of them. The other I like very much.

GREAT mini-series! I drive my wife nuts in that I bought it on DVD some time ago and have to watch it at least 4x a year!

BTW, pretty good analogy, I think that’s partly true.

hmmm....

I see your point, I can see how some one could say Trump is a Washington insider on the basis of his old support of the Clintons.

Point granted, I withdraw my comment about Cruz “lying about Trump being a Washington insider”. My apology.

Yet Cruz is still not telling the whole truth, as he says he is not an insider and it is clear he is. He is more of an insider than trump, by my calculations.

He was given a loan to win the senator seat, and the FEC looked the other way when he submitted incorrect paperwork to hide this. His wife received a promotion at when he became a senator, much like Obamas wife was at the hospital (went from 100,000 a year (hubby state senator) to 300,000 (hubby federal senator, position abolished after Obama elected president). Also the million dollar loans Cruz was granted...well he never paid them off, they were paid off by donations to his reelection campaign. He is very much an insider, just one who is not liked.

Now he is not obligated to tell the world of this, but to point the finger at Trump and say he was a Washington insider while saying Cruz and his wife are not....well that is deceptive. Not bearing false witness about Trump, but not the whole truth either.

Now as a single example I suppose one could let it go, but Cruz has a pattern on dong this.

https://amp.twimg.com/v/745e21cb-199f-4ffb-8238-8c5f67810ef1

By the By, I wanted a joint ticket until very recently, but now it appears that Cruz would rather burn the party to the ground and see the republicans lose rather than be # 2 for 4 years prior to being elected # 1. There is something very odd about that, it does not bode well for the man or his character.

This is one Texan that will not cast a ballot for Cruz if he runs again for Senate after this debacle.

I did hear/read about that tape, but I have not heard it. IF I had been paying closer attention at the time I would have bookmarked it. It was that debate that I saw a bjClintonesq lawyer. I have not liked Cruz since, because he is what he is. A two bit lawyer.
