Even GW Bush hates Ted Cruz, and Bush is universally known to like and get along with everybody.

Cruz is history he will lose in the Republican primary for his Senate seat in 2018.

The question becomes who can take him on in the Texas primary for 2018 and win.
Cruz won the 2012 GOP primary in a runoff against David Dewhurts.

The Cubanadian fraud was born to a foreign national father in a foreign country and is clearly ineligible.
Ambition overruled whatever Constitutional principles he pretended to have.
I was a supporter when he seemed to be one of the few Senators on the side of the citizens.
Now it seems like it was all an act.
The only thing Ted Cruz really cares about is Ted Cruz.

I was a huge Cruz fa before this.

He clearly lacks the judgment necessary.

Rather than keep shooting himself in the foot, he should have accepted Trump’s early offer of the VP spot and rode to victory and a possible 16 years in The White House as VP then Pres.

Instead he decided to do more damage on the way out the door...

Too bad, because he was FANTASTIC in the Senate- the only one who really fought.

Surprise Surprise Surprise!

I was an early Cruz supporter. He lost me when he attacked Trump instead of the rioters in Chicago at the Trump rally.

Even so, I always expected he would do the honorable thing at the convention. I am ashamed that I was such a poor judge of character.

I’ve now thrown in with Trump. I have no way of being sure, but I pray he will honor all the promises he has made during this campaign. Otherwise, this will be the last time I vote.

Stop by his Senate page and tell him what a jerk he is. I did. I don’t think he is aware how obnoxious he is.

To supposedly be such a smart person, he sure made a lot of dumb mistakes, starting in Iowa when Beck joined him. He/his campaign seemed to fumble from that point on.

He certainly showed that he does not have much of an acumen for politics.

The myth Cruz was a conservative has died.

Trump did US a favor by outing and routing young Teddy Cruz, the globalist's Trojan pony.

I sure was fooled by the guy.

When Sarah Palin's "Meet Ted Cruz" introduction email arrived, just in time for me to help save the Republic by supporting newbie Cruz for Senate, I sent cash to Cruz and prayers to Heaven.

Funny how time has a way of clarifying one's emotions.

Fast forward to 2016 and now it's prayers for Cruz and my thanks to Heaven that he failed.

Assuming that Ted is more genuine in his conservatism than with his con, I want to hate him, but I mostly just feel pity for him for him letting his ego piss away all that he'd been given.

I guess he sorta reminds me of a younger me in that regard, so I'm not going to be too harsh.

Regret in the rear view mirror is a nasty backseat driver, but a very effective teacher for the willing and open student, should Ted want to be tutored.

And he could have too, because he does hold on like a Rottweiler to most core Republic principles, and he is fearless in the face of massive opposition in the Senate. Unfortunately these very virtues were transformed into vices by his own inordinate quest for the nomination by less than honorable means. A damn shame because otherwise he might have been a real asset to the Trump administration.
