I still think Cruz and Trump are by far the two best options we have—though neither is perfect.
I long wanted a Trump/Cruz ticket because I didn’t think Cruz could win outright without slipping in after being VP.
But now I am convinced that Cruz is a GOPe shill, just as W ultimately was. W thought he learned how to fool the base by playing up his tough-Texan act, and Cruz has double-talked as the far-right outsider in an escalation of that strategy.
Moreover, Cruz is willing to hand the nomination over to the GOPe in a floor fight, rather than let Trump win. So no, Cruz is not dedicated to the cause, he is dedicated to his own ambition—and, as we’ve seen, he’ll pull dirty tricks to try to get his way.
Trump might insult, but he fights very, very fair and clean.
I trust him much more than Cruz at this point.
After last night, I wouldn’t trust LYING TED to feed my dog.
