Ted Cruz Rewrites Primary History
The Wall Street Journal ^ | July 18, 2016 | Allysia Finley

Posted on 07/18/2016 8:11:00 PM PDT by monkapotamus

Ted Cruz is expected to use his speech Wednesday night in Cleveland to tee up a future presidential bid..

Mr. Cruz blamed his defeat principally on the media, which “liked to paint me as some whacked-out theocrat” and putatively gave Donald Trump $3 billion in free publicity...

Fact check: Mr. Cruz won the Wisconsin primary in early April with the help of the so-called establishment that he loves to hate... in the preceding primaries, Mr. Cruz had gone one for 10..

After winning Wisconsin, Mr. Cruz went on a six-state losing streak in the Northeast...

My main problem with Cruise was that he isn’t a US citizen (and he has yet to prove me wrong)

Then all that other crap happened.

As you mention, I noticed yet another parallel with jughead: his love of the personal pronoun ‘I’ in another article where Tead used it a few times then segued into “But enough about me. Let’s talk about my plans.”
No one wants to hear about Ted.

Trump IS a showman.

A Carly Shanghai style trap door for Cruz would be legend :)

I wanted them to pull his slot, but you’re right. He bought his ticket, let him crash.

“Can’t say for FR, but Jeb would EASILY be the nominee - no one else had the means (money or media) to compete.”

And I think that’s why Little Yebbie is so pi$$ed off! He cannot come to grips with the fact that a “rich nobody” ( I just imagine that’s what he thought) chewed him up and spit him out in front of the whole country! The Booshes are a pack of Globalist Turds who have been “found out” thanks to Donald Trump. We have finally done better that the usual “It’s My Turn GOPe Candidate!”

I still believe 100 percent that he and Amanda and probably a few others were more than buddies. Too much smoke. That didn’t come out because he lost. If he had pulled ahead of Trump, they would have used it to get rid of him and bring in Kasich or Rubio.

And what’s your point.....?

All you did was manage to repost the delusional griping of a petulant child

“I think very highly of Pence - he’s a good man”, Cruz told Politico, according to an excerpt of an interview that will be posted Monday morning”.


Cruz gave this media availability on the eve of the convention to smear Trump. Blatant FU to Trump. Ted Cruz is a tiny, tiny “man”.

Dear Ted: The media did paint the picture, however you were the one that struck the pose.

You can take the douche out of the bag, but you should never allow a douchebag to speak at a convention.

He may think he is, but in reality he is writing his own eulogy. He’s just too stupid to realize it. His stunt will soon be just as forgotten and unremarkable, as he too will be.

If that is what he does, he is digging the grave of his own career. Nobody will ever trust him again.

I voted for Cruz in my primary.

I now expect him to fully endorse Trump; and, if he does not, (or worse, if he opposes Trump) it will be his exit from politics.

Nobody ever forgot Christie's hug of what's his name in the final stage of the election. He needn't have ever tried to run in the recent primary, the hug follows him.

If Cruz does a crazy Ivan, it's likely his last time on the big stage.

It gets lonely, when you are out on the road. Which Ted was.

I really do not think Cruz is capable of being magnanimous.

No.
He needs to leave here and return to Canada.
And take George P. Bush with him.

Yep. Cruz running to liberal politico to refight the primary on the eve of the convention is despicable. He’s green lighting a divisive convention here. Without a shadow of a doubt he prefers Hillary to Trump. I’m sure the Trump people are livid with this double cross.

IIRC, he was “on the road” for EIGHT YEARS and living apart from his wife. Besides, nooners never count as cheating to these self absorbed beltway types.

“something does not add up with this guy....just cannot abide him.”

He’s not real. He is a stalking horse construct for globalists. A designed pied piper for the more gullible conservatives who need to be herded into the NWO. He is still trying to be an actor.
