[[A nation that voted Barack Obama into office twice is quite capable of voting Elizabeth Warren into office.]]

Precisely- Cruz is not wrong on this- the country elected trump sure- but the fact that a felon and proven liar and criminal like hillary, who said ‘what difference does it make’ over the deaths of 4 Americans, came as close as they did is very troubling- She was the worst candidate ever practically, but still managed to come somewhat close- That does not speak well to the state of this country-

Post 36 [[warren is dangerous because she is being sold to low info voters as being the reasonable and honest version of Hillary.]]

Exactly- This country has become a greedy ‘gimmedat society’ that is just itching to reelect another liberal-

[[underestimating her appeal would be the same type of mistake that Hillary supporters made with trump early on after he declared.]]

Exactly- for the reason stated above- The gimmedat society is becoming actually violent these days if they don’t get their way- We’re seeing it play out all across the country- all these damned ‘safe zones’ and ‘safe rooms’ and suppression of free speech on campuses etc- There’s a damned tinderbox brewing-

We got lucky this time that 1: More republicans went out and voted this election and 2: independents, who are at least a little bit rational, switched from voting liberal hoping that Trump can actually help their bottom line by bringing back jobs and prosperity to America- but if things don’t turn around rapidly and dramatically, they will switch back to voting liberal in a heartbeat-

Like you say- We had better not underestimate this country’s inability to vote correctly - and we had better hope Trump turns this country around dramatically enough that he keeps the independents that switched their votes for him-

IF Trump can create better environments for inner city slum areas, He might just win over the black vote- and that would be huge for the party- Republicans have never been able to win them over- Let’s hope Trump can

Do you hate Goldman Sachs? Is anyone affiliated in some way with Goldman Sachs evil? Do you hate Mrs. Cruz because she worked with Goldman Sachs? Do you hate Trump because he’s promoted someone from Goldman Sachs to be part of his cabinet?

So, Harvard grads are evil, according to you. OK.

Yup, I don’t damn Cruz to hell. I actually appreciate his work as a conservative representative. If you hate conservatives like Cruz, maybe you should leave FR and go to DU.

So you dismiss me because I’m conservative. Nice.

if people get past the headline and just read the two lines for the article posted they would realize Cruz is correct...and it has nothing to do with Trump rather the cowardly, spineless GOPe- once again!!

Thank you! 22 Freepers commented before reading the article, and were completely fooled by a misleading headline. Cruz actually called out the GOPe for backstabbing President Trump.

Yep..Cruz is right on this one....

.....” if President Trump and Republicans fail to overcome party divides that threaten their ability to govern.”....

It’s the Republicans like McCain, Grahm, Snow etc.etc. and others who will ruin it for Trump. Same old batch of misfits stand in the way every time!

>>fake headline<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yup.

Cruz can be annoying but is an absolute brawler. That’s why he and Trump were destined to clash, and why he could not bring himself to kiss Trump’s ring at the convention. But the Trump movement and hence America needs him.

On policy matters, his only flaw in my opinion is he still suffers from the “Free Trade” con game. Not being a businessman, but a mere lawyer, it is harder for him to understand the economics issues. (And yes, I know he has been wobbly on immigration, but am giving him benefit of doubt that he has come around.)

I agree that Pocahontas might be tough to beat if the Republican Congress thwarts Trump. Yes, she is deeply flawed; but, she will get 100% of the Bernie voters and a big chunk of the Corruption’s. They couldn’t care less about her lying, her socialism and her shrill mannerisms.

Any Rat will be built up and protected by the media.

Trump won Ohio and Iowa by nearly double digits.

She was the worst candidate ever practically, but still managed to come somewhat close-

She had twice as much money and some of the GOP state organizations wouldn't back Trump. Trump won't have those disadvantages in 2020.

And, Trump was likely the only GOP candidate that could have won, taking states no other Republican would have -- MI, PA and WI.

Hillary only wins if we’re willing to accept illegal alien votes, in addition to their regular constituency of the dear departed.

Nevada is going to finally investigate the number of illegals who voted. And having lived in SoCal until 2015, I can assure you, plenty of illegals voted in California.

If there were to be an honest audit of Los Angeles, Clark and Cook Counties, I’d wager President Trump’s three million votes would turn up.

I noticed that like a liberal you don’t add anything to the conversation, but instead attempt to insult the person you have no intelligent reply to. Btw you’re not smart enough to insult me.

There is lying. Ryan stated several times that if we elected a republican as POTUS he would have a bill on his desk to repeal OC.

His fake bill did not repeal OC, just as this one won’t.

Four years of Trump would be far better than 8 years of Hillary, which is what we would have had if Cruz had been the nominee.

It still boggles the mind that so many FReepers hate a solid conservative Senator such as Cruz. Such hatred focused on this conservative representative. So bizarre.

"Hate" is perhaps too strong a word, but it shouldn't be surprising at all. Cruz has proven to have off-putting picadillos.

Ryan hasn’t been a disappointment to me... I had pretty high regard for him as the VP candidate. Since then, expectations have been pretty low..

If he doesn’t build a wall and do other things he campaigned on, he could lose.

And he has ordered the wall built - who will be at fault if it doesn't get built (GOPe and other career politicians....).

Not bizarre at all if you understand the political paradigm of this century and stop thinking in terms of the paradigm of the 20th century. If you still think in the Liberal-Conservative mindset, then you believe in the eventual failure of the middle class, which is the group most vulnerable to globalism. Cruz is as out of touch with the working people of America as Elizabeth Warren is.

Well, it sounds like you have more intelligence that me. Three million votes is absolutely huge.

Exposing this kind of fraud will go a long way to taming the holier than thou attitude of the Lefties.

“So you say, we’re all racists. Well, it seems you Democrats can only win when you bus in illegal voters.”
