The Winds Appear to Have Shifted In Ted Cruz’s Favor
The Resurgent ^ | April 29, 2016 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 04/29/2016 4:32:28 AM PDT by detective

There were several events yesterday that suggest to me the winds have shifted in Ted Cruz’s favor since he named Carly Fiorina his running mate.

First, John Boehner had a complete and utter meltdown about Ted Cruz yesterday. He referred to Cruz as both an S.O.B. and Lucifer. Then Peter King, the noxious congressman from New York, came out and declared Cruz worse than the devil. He was followed up by former senator Judd Gregg who declared he would rather Trump than Cruz, even though he is a Kasich guy.

The fact that . In fact, more polling out of Indiana suggests just that. Cruz had been behind and the latest polling has the race tied.

This backward, upside down logic is what Levin keeps spouting every evening on behalf of Cruz. If Erickson and Levin, who are otherwise intelligent men, were not so blinded by their biases, they would see what fools they are making of themselves.

Those who stood against the overwhelming tide of the socialist agenda, are now liars, lackeys, and puppets to the establishment.

Very well said. On another thread Trump supports are professing to not understand what conservatism is anymore. Really? REALLY? Suddenly we don't know what conservatism is? Suddenly Mark Levin is a traitor and John Boehner speaks the truth?

I like my pet rock...Well behaved. DIdn’t cause a ruckus. Has survived for years with no food or water. Follows me everywhere (seems to be the only thing I can’t lose). PLUS its a really good listener....never interrupts and never reminds me I have told the same story forty times already

And the best thing?... No upkeep or added expenses after that initial $5.00 investment. I actually bought one because the premise was so funny. $5.00 and you get to laugh all day. Cheap at twice the price. :-)

Allow me to define conservatism in 2016. Conservatism is stopping this despotic government before they finish off the country. It’s electing the only person who will stop TPP before foreign countries get a say in our trade. It’s electing the only person who knows how to win with a bought-off Congress and the only one who will actually close the damn border.

Conservatism in 2016 is electing Donald Trump.

When you use Mother Jones as source material it just proves my point. Trump has been a lieberal for 97.2% of his life and has supported the “establishment” 100% of the time.

“Sell it somewhere else.

Truly pathetic.”

I am not selling anything.

I am trying to make people aware of what Cruz and his supporters are doing.

Stop making up lies about me.

And Cruz has never been anything but a fake conservative... NO conservative worth his/her salt would ever pretend that a 'natural born' CubanCanadian is eligible to hold the office of president.

Who are you talking about when you say “Those who stood against the overwhelming tide of the socialist agenda”?

Is it Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney, Carly Fiorina and Glenn Beck?

I am trying to make my fellow Freepers aware of what is going on in the campaign.

Who have I called a liar, lackey or puppet?

American Conservatism is a state of mind. Ted Cruz is as American as you and I in that respect. As Conservative as I am but maybe not so much you...Donald Trump is no Conservative and you can take that to the bank.

BS Conservatives believe in the 'original intent' of the Constitution. The 'original intent' NEVER allowed for a right to kill the unborn, or to call same sex hook-ups a marriage. AND 'original intent' to hold the office of president was 'natural born' of which only TWO US citizen parents could bestow upon their child, being birthed upon US soil. Cruz's initial claim to fame was following the 'original intent' of the Constitution... He even took an oath to protect and defend that same US Constitution.

Cruz is simply not capable to measure 'conservatism', he can only talk about it. Trump has live ( filled with faults) a 'conservative' life... Trump freely exposes his life warts and all. Cruz has spent his life deceiving himself and a large number of so called conservative that he is a conservative. How many Ted Cruz's senate salaries has Trump funded during his life... Cruz does not even show up for work at his senate job, but he sure still collects that pay check.

A 'conservative' Cruz would have resigned his Senate seat and NOT taken a welfare check on his presidential scheme.
