Ted Cruz to fly with Obama aboard Air Force One to Dallas memorial event

Give the politics a rest for at least a moment. We’ve got 5 dead officers. They are going to a memorial. The should be flying together.

A rare voice of sanity amidst the charred landscape of America.

I guess the NeverTrumps lumber on, with Obama and Hillary their chief Cheerleaders.

As does the nonstop Cruz Derangement Syndrome. It's fitting that a Senator from Texas would accept an offer from the President for the memorial service in Dallas. IMO, a refusal would be classless on Senator Cruz' part.

Saint Teddy has already established that he has no class, this just confirms it.

[Conservative Gato]

Yeah, we just let political correctness win out again.

I am so sick of political correctness and the damage it has done to this country.

Do you believe that 7.5 years of vicious race hustling by Obama and his Just Us Dept had anything to do with the deaths of those officers?

[nclaurel]

They will continue to make any excuse they can for the Canadians born jerk! It is sickening. He can’t afford a ticket to the state that elected him? No doubt kissing up to Obama for pointers to further get Hillary elected and TPP passed. Globalists stick together.

[Just mythoughts]

Ted Cruz is not a conservative. He is a lyin Harvard law schooled trained lawyer just like Obama and Romney.

[mkjessup]

Bullshit
Ted Cruz is 100% conservative and 100% trustworthy. plus he gives a mighty fine speech...

You didn't just drink the Cruz FoolAid(c), you snorted it straight from the envelope.

[Robert DeLong]

You need to tell that to Obama. The fact that Cruz shared an invite by Obama makes him just as guilty, by association, because it was reported what Obama was going to say.

Cuban appeaser
He has caused enough trouble
Dad killed Kennedy!

Like Larry Sinclare
Teddy's butt's in the air
Just two guy having fun
But it's US who get screwed when they're done.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I confess I initially thought he was great. WOW! Was I deceived.

“Cruz IS a Texas Senator and has a duty to attend the event. Guess how many Texas and other elected officials went on the plane.
“Inviting” the Texas delegation, is correct protocol and a diplomatic thing to do (that I’m surprise any OBozo staffer knew or cared to follow.)
No one would be expected to refuse the gesture!
Hardly surprised the embittered Trump “supporters” would pass up the opportunity to yet again be uncouth even in the face as sacred as a memorial service for murdered police officers!

If Cruz gave 2 seconds of thought to the optics, he would have not taken that flight. Gone commercial or something else. Horrible optics. Blindingly stupid move politically.

The Paul Revere of the Zot Brigade has broadcast my appearance to his/her fellow brigadiers! lol

“No one would be expected to refuse the gesture!”

Especially after Obama puts a boot on the police and pushes down, calling them a bunch of nazis, amirite?

Who the living hell can be “expected” to tell this dope to shove off! /s

“Hardly surprised the embittered Trump “supporters” would pass up the opportunity to yet again be uncouth even in the face as sacred as a memorial service for murdered police officers!”

Seriously go %#%#@ yourse.....no wait. Thanks for reminding us why we all grew to despise Cruz and his supporters.

[novemberslady]

I was being as sarcastic as I could.
I should've posted st. ted's photo...
maybe a bff of him and Obama.

where'd anonymous send those photos they said they had?

[mkjessup]

Every politician has a price. I’m amazed that Cruz could be rolled for an an airplane ride. How cheap is that?

Lots of things cost less in Canada. ;)

It's the exchange rate.

[DrewsMum]

I know, right. I mean that’s almost as bad as if he pal’d around with him at fund raising events or attended his wedding.

Glad Trump would never be caught livin it up with liberals.

[VanDeKoik]

“Give the politics a rest for at least a moment. “

Go tell Obama that.

[zerosix]

Those who were in DC went together as a "delegation" not as a party representative nor as a supporter of Obama but as a Texas delegation representing the dead officers and their families.

I understand that today manners and universal acts of honor on behalf of a grieving city, state and country, seem to have been forgotten, especially at a time of partisan politics but it is still the correct protocol, and as I stated, I didn't expect the Obama Administration to offer.

FYI - Air Force One doesn't belong to Obama, it belongs to the American people, loaned to whomever occupies the office of the President at the time, so to fly a state delegation, regardless of party, to a memorial service honoring fallen officers, who died in the act of service to their fellow citizens, IS the correct thing to do.

Actually, he’s just wrapped in Confederate clothing.
