I agree. They despise Hillary but save their deepest hatred for Cruz.
Cruz ran a pretty effective primary against Trump. Trump beat him. Time to support Trump.
There are sore losers... AND sore winners. It’s pathetic.
Cruz is more aligned with Trump on issues of substance than pretty much everyone else in Congress. Cruz could very well be Trump’s greatest ally in the Senate when Trump is president.
These endless attacks on Cruz and his supporters are NOT helping Trump win. Neither are the threats of retaliation.
I am 100% behind Trump as our next president. And I am also going to continue to support Ted Cruz as my Texas senator.
What weird logic.
Cruz refuses to endorse Trump at Trump’s nomination convention. Cruz top supporters are running ads against Trump and you are blaming Trump supporters?

Your statement here proves again that there’s none so blind as those who will not see
What is pathetic is somebody calling themselves a “true conservative” leader like Cruz who then proceeds to go AWOL from the battle to defeat CINC Hillary and her SCOTUS.
Ted Cruz has shown in spades time and again that his campaign was never about country or conservatism. If it was he would be battling to stop Hillary right now. So feel free to stuff your projection because conservatives fighting this election election have no time for it.
“Cruz is more aligned with Trump on issues of substance”
Then why doesn’t he act like it? Ted is a sore loser.
What a crock of sh!t. The only reason attacks continue on Ted Cruz is because he refused to help unify the party.
Donald Trump gave him his prime time slot at the convention, and all Cruz did was stab every conservative and Republican in the back, except for the GOPe, of course.
Ted Cruz broke his pledge, which places him in the ilk of Jeb Bush, Lindsay Graham, and other GOPe pigs.
Nobody would be attacking Cruz if he supported the ticket, or even called off his misguided fanboys who are apparently running these ads.
Ted Cruz is so far below pond scum that calling him pond scum is an affront to pond scum.
I hope to God Rick Perry knocks him out in 2018, and I will never respect the man as long as he puts his own selfish ambition before the fate of this Republic.
And that's exactly what he has been doing for months now.
Hillary is incorrigible. Ted Cruz should not have been, and he is only helping Hillary at this point.
Ted Cruz can't be an ally of Trump in the White House if he's helping Hillary to win instead.
Wake up and learn to grasp objective reality.
Vote Trump!
“I agree. They despise Hillary but save their deepest hatred for Cruz.”
We all despise Hillary greatly. We all knew who she was for a very long time. I want to see her gone.
I hold a special despise for Cruz, because he was a phony, and not a traitor with no honor. He has the opportunity to get his people to come to Trump, but refuses. It is easy to speculate that he has some misplaced hope that he can defeat Hillary in 2020. He is a complete sleaze bag, who only painted himself as a”True Conservative (whatever the hell that means)” for political ambition. I want to see him gone just as badly as Clinton. He is just another clown that thinks this is all one big joke.
“I agree. They despise Hillary but save their deepest hatred for Cruz.”
We despise Hillary, but we’ve always known who/what she is; we don’t expect anything good or noble from her.
Cruz knows better and has portrayed himself as noble, and then he goes over to The Dark Side and supports evil incarnate.
Of course we hate him more; he knows better.
“And I am also going to continue to support Ted Cruz as my Texas senator.”
Well, good for you! We all aspire to have lying, cheating foreigners in high positions of power. Like that guy in the White Hut. How’s that working for us?
You’re obviously an un learner! Ted Cruz is NOT in ANY way to be trusted. Certainly NOT the best supporter or potential ally of Trump. Jeff Sessions is AND Jeff Sessions has an impeccable reputation for honesty. He is respected. Ted Cruz is NOT. He can’t even come up even with Session’s boots. Cruz blew his chance to be forgiven and get back in the game at the Convention. When booed off the stage,and his wife leaving under escort, I don’t see a comeback.
You’re backing a loser, my boy.
I see that the posts above state that Cruz could stop his “Cruz Supporters” easily.
Are they necessarily “Cruz Supporters”, or are they individuals with a different set of Conservative Goals, who now are acting independently, and expressing their exasperation. Are these Conservative reacting to the vile things said about them on this forum and others, and are now in retaliation, undermining the current candidate for the Presidency, at all costs? Are they Conservatives who view Donald Trump as a Moderate or Democrat posing as a Conservative to get elected?
Ask yourself, can or could future President Trump stop his supporters from stating, or making claims for him, that might not line up with his views? Can future President Trump bring to an end the bashing of some Conservatives, or their stands for what they view as Conservative ideals? I believe in both instances the answer is no.
Individuals express their deep held views and in most cases will continue to support those views even if their candidate is not elected. I saw this among Trump supporters after primaries, then the winner was not Trump.
Hopefully those being slurred will see through all the name calling and will support Trump on election day. Unfortunately this has not been the case in past Presidential elections. The 2012 election is a prime example. There were those who would never vote for a Mormon, there were those who sat home because Romney wasn't Conservative enough.
At times it seems that the name calling and demonizing of other Republicans has one sole purpose. That is to make those Republicans so resentful that they will stay home on election day, and hence bring about a Socialist government.
Their ultimate goal is not to get those whom they demonize to vote Dem, but only to stay home and bring about the same ultimate conclusion, the election of Hillary Clinton, or if she's replace, some other Socialist leaning Democrat candidate.
Are there those who wish to see the destruction of the Republican Party and its replacement with another entity? I believe the answer to this question is yes.
The criticism started during the Bush Administration. Bush wasn't conservative enough. The critics forget that a very large number of American voters voted for Gore and Kerry.
Just think, if Gore or Kerry had been elected, how would the US have reacted to 9-11?
The American voters have voted for Obama twice, but the tearing apart and criticism of Conservative Standard Bears continued throughout the last eight years.
Criticism of Conservative Standard Bearers escalated at the end of the last midterm election. With a Republican House majority and a small Republican majority in the Senate, the anger was aimed at the Republican Establishment (GOPe), the House for not defunding, and the Senate for not forcing bills through the Senate and demanding that Obama veto the bills.
This criticism of Congress and frustration on the part of Conservative is understandable, but lately the attacks have risen to the level of outright rebellion.
Donald Trump is the Republican Nominee for President. Are there those, who would destroy the Republican Party around him, and in the process destroy any hope that once in office he can be effective.
I have came to believe that the vast majority of views are truly those of fed up Conservative, who had become impatient. But also within the group, doing the criticism, are those whose real aim is destruction of our Republic.
Unfortunately when both the Socialist Factions (the Dems) and the Ultra-Conservative Factions take aim, the casualties may include many Conservative, who would have supported President Trump, but because of the vile atmosphere, walk away and don't vote. This is also the aim of some closet Socialist, who post demagoguery .
We may end up with something we Conservatives will regret. We either end up with a Socialist dictatorship, or end up with a “Lame Duck Administration” up against a deeply divided Congress. There are times when I get a deep sinking feeling that the situation above is exactly what the Socialist want.
Unfortunately there is a very great number of socialist/Democrat Representatives, and Senators currently serving, and also unfortunately will be elected again.
This places us in a very difficult situation. We may win the battle (election of Trump), but lose the war against the step-by-step degrading of our American Republic.
Do the Freepers posting their disdain of Cruz and the other Conservative Standard Bearers really believe that once President Trump is in office, their animosity and flaming rhetoric will be instantly forgotten by those who have been flamed.
One in office, President Trump will face a hostile Senate and House, and as a result
