Bless you. I agree 100%.
Cruz isn’t the only one coming unhinged....
I was out paying bills, buying groceries, talking to people....first off: Rush was on my radio, and the crap that was coming out of that man’s mouth about Trump and his supporters...one guy called in and called him down on it, and all Rush could talk about is how ‘he knows what Cruz is going through, he went through it, he knows how it is when you can’t get your message out, and Trump and his supporters have tied up everything...calling Cruz’s father a ‘hit man’ with Oswald’ on and on and on he went, I wanted to pull over and call that fat POS and let him know what he really is compared to what he is, we could all make millions of dollars!!!
And then as I pulled into the parking lot of the grocery store, I started laughing, this man next to me said: “you must have gotten better news than what I just heard” I said: “what? is everything okay with you?” he told me about what I had just heard about Rush, so him and I walked down the aisles grocery shopping, talking about Rush and his stupidity and how Cruz is a liar, and I don’t even know this guys name, but we both had a great time!!!
There...fixed it.
I am beginning to suspect that Cruz has shifted his goal to defeating Trump in November. Cruz has taken personally Trump’s attacks on Cruz’s wife and father. Neither Trump nor Cruz seem to be doing what is his own political interest today. We may be witnessing some very important events today.
I fail to see where Cruz was wrong in this exchange and the meme like all memes is completely unconstructive. If anything he took the childish insults hurled at him, remained calm and was very respectful. The extreme lack of RESPECTFUL political discourse as was shared by this protester is precisely what this coming has been about. The protester and his merry band were infantile throughout. I am voting Trump however Cruz displays someone who even under fire in his face he can calmly engage in disagreement without being demeaning. I like to see that in a President who has oversight of such a large responsibility.
The point on engaging the protester was shocking for me in a good way. When all our politicians run from people who disagree and do not attempt to have meaningful dialogue then the gap to bridge will never be forged. He was very correct when he said the Presidents job is to hear all sides and points of view. Somehow this has been conflated as something as a negative when we should be cheering someone who has the fortitude to face challenges head on. Only the completely closed minded shut off people that disagree and not LISTEN to what another has to share. A wise person listens whether you agree or not and looks for opportunities to win someone to your side. The problem is when decisions are made upon emotion this does not occur.
If someone that respectfully engages someone they disagree with is petty, stupid and little then God help us if that is the wisdom that rules the day. It reminds me of Code Pink
Trump got a lot of endorsements too and he'll do maybe a campaign appearance or two with whoever it is (i.e. Palin, Knight, Sessions, etc.) and then he'll move on. But Glenn Beck practically moved in with Cruz and they've been butt-buddies ever since.
Glenn Beck and his nutty behavior is not helping Ted Cruz. In fact, he's killing Cruz and making him a laughingstock.
“Scorched earth” and “mutually assured destruction” are some phrases that come to mind...
Two peas in a pod!
Trump never said pappy Cruz was part of the assassination. But let's face it. Trump had every right to bring up mud when he has been getting mud. Since it set Cruz off into one of his famous Cruzean moments... all the better. It ain't Trump. It is Cruz and his clan.
This guy did a great job up against lyin’ Ted. Love Indiana!!!!
First rule of politics: Do not confront someone who is campaigning for your opponent. Not friendly territory and you can’t/won’t change their mind. You will never get every vote; be happy with 50% +1.
Amen enough of the clown show and onto issues
HILLARY CLINTON IN THE ENEMY. NOT TED CRUZ.
As long as Cruz chooses to be Hillary’s campaign surrogate he is fair game. He has lost and is doing nothing but suppress the conservative vote for Trump in November. How principled and conservative of him.
Except for the fact Trump did no such thing.
Stop. Just stop. You have proven my point perfectly.
Eat our own and watch Madam President Hillary Clinton walk into the White House next year.
We are 7 months from the crucial election in our history and all I see is WAHHHH TED CRUZ SAID THIS WAHHH TED CRUZ DOES THAT.
I’ll give it to Trump. He had me with his foreign policy speech last week. Now we’re back to this dumpster fire BS.
Why not the Supreme Court? Maybe he would drive a few of them into an early grave. Just sayin'.....
If Trump played by these politician's rules, he wouldn't stand a chance. So he set his own rules and makes his opponents play by them.
That's why Cruz is having a meltdown. He's been beaten by a political novice.
