Ever Had a Look at Ted Cruz's Resume?

Yep - cartoon characters. That’s about the IQ level we are talking about for Trump and his supporters! Thanks for confirming!

[Fresh Wind]

millions of dollars of campaign loans he forgot to report to the proper authorities

Actually, he did report the loans, but he falsely claimed on the FEC forms that the money came from his "personal funds", and then tried to cover his lie by claiming it was a careless oversight.

Washington insider? Do you even know how long he has been in Washington?

It's probably more correct to say he is political insider. Virtually his entire career after he left school has been in some way connected to government or politics. It just hasn't always been in Washington.

Did he ever open and run a lemonade stand?
Did he ever have to make a deal with a cabal of labor unions to get a business built and open?
Was he ever responsible for the pay and benefits of ten thousand employees? Hiw about 10’employees?

[bolobaby]

Shhhh... the adults are having a thread here. Go back to your comic books.

If the test is who is going to assemble a team to pull us out of the big “ R” or worse the big “D” that obama is going to leave, then Trump is leagues ahead of anyone

Without a functioning economy, kiss all other national priorities good bye
Healthcare rescue - nada
National defense - crippled
Foreign relations - no more checks to cash
Abortion - more people too desperately poor to have their babies
Immigration - an open sewer line

And It’s looking like tptb are not going to be able to keep the wheels on the wagon until after obama leaves offuce

[jpsb]

It is refreshing that you have chosen not to partake.

Weren't you guys, just the other day, bashing Trump for not partakings? lol

Cruz was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for a
Chief Justice of the United States

Probably the first Canadian also......

Cruz is smart enough to know when to go Rocky. Just wait.

All well and good except Cruz inspires nobody except his group of devotees. The man is simply not a leader. He’s an agitator. And Mark Levin is nowhere near being the Great One. He’s exposed himself as just another guy with a dog in this fight, just like all the rest of us.

Maybe you should keep this in mind...

What I find interesting is that you are talking about principles to people that don't have any. Do a posting search (after you click on a poster's name, click "In Forum" up at the top) on many of the most vociferous Trump supporters here, the ones that throw around ad hominems and insults. Go back 6 months or so, or back to the government shutdown. Many of them were praising Cruz for standing up to Obama and McConnell.

So, as soon as a populist like Trump comes along, they change their tune. Someone who they were praising for standing up for conservative ideals, now is not a conservative to them. They blow with the popular wind. Why would they value principles, when they don't have any themselves...?

[Cen-Tejas]

.....a lot of us already have! (Voted for Cruz)

[deport]

Cruz has authored 80+ SCOTUS briefs and presented 40+ oral arguments before The Court

**************

Depending upon the meaning of the above "The Court" determines where that statement
is a lie or not. Since it doesn't use plural in Court it indicates a single court, SCOTUS
as that is the preceeding Court mentioned.

[justlittleoleme]

It is quite unfortunate. I pray that after Cruz wins, FR will settle down to what it once was.

[Cen-Tejas]

.........Sir, with all due respect, comparing Cruz’s resume to Obama’s is a little like comparing Margaret Thatcher’s to Hillary’s.

[Thumper1960]

I agree.

I want to know much more about Trump and what he will do and if I can trust him.

Too many times we've been fed a slick candidate who says all the right things and fails to deliver.

Interesting. Thanks for the link.

My first impressions of Senator Ted Cruz were of the highest order.

However, "Ted Cruz for President" was a heart breaker, replacing my infatuation with something else altogether.

Now I am more open to this:

Don't get me wrong. Ted Cruz is a smart, canny, talented guy who has run a great "long race" campaign. He aspires to be Reagan but trust me he's Nixon. Right down the incredible discipline and smarts playing the political game.

Ted Cruz is not who he appears to be. As the bible says, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." In this case we must beware a Canadian bearing gifts.

Our times' Kabuki Theatre politics in a "Made for TV" kayfabed reality make it very difficult to know what is real and what is just part of the show.

In this ultra-high stakes game of Ephesians 6:12, observers and players both have to work much harder at not being played.
