Cruz lost me in a big way when he showed such an arrogant and stubborn attitude about getting the NBC thing cleared up by a federal court thus showing a willingness to get nominated and then DQ’d, handing the election to the left wing of the Socialist Party. It showed me he was more interested in his own political future than the future of America.
(To clarify, IMO the left wing of the Socialist Party in America is called the “Democratic Party” while the right wing of the Socialist Party is called the “Republican Party”.)
What’s left are independents at heart like you and I, regardless of whether we’re officially tied to the GOP. It’s actually another 180-degree meaning of “RINO” (”independents at heart”, “IAH”(?) - gotta work on that I guess ) - those of us who are “Republicans” but really are freedom lovers and haters of the leftist-dominated entrenched institutions AKA “establishment”.
I am actually shocked that many of those who fought the hardest and researched Obama’s natural born citizenship status have been willing to give Cruz a pass on this. I thought that it was a matter of principle. I feel very disappointed in many of them. As you say this would have become an issue at the most inopportune time and would most likely have thrown the election to the Democrats.
He lost me forever and forever when he sided with the Soros paid agitators who shut down Trump’s Chicago rally
What an opportunity he had to defend the Constitution
But his personal goals were more compelling
