Ted threw President Trump under the bus recently and is currently a victim of the “Trump Curse”. It has little to do with his recent ham handed buffoonery. He is merely reaping what he has sowed. So get over it!
From a recent interview, Senator Ted Cruz: “President Trump's rhetoric, I think, went way too far over the line. I think it was both reckless and irresponsible because he said repeatedly—and he said over and over again—he won by a landslide; there was massive fraud; it was all stolen everywhere. That evidence, the campaign did not prove that in any court, and to make a determination about an election it has to be based on the evidence, and so simply saying the result you want, that's not responsible and you've never heard me use language like that.”
Later in the interview he called the events of January 6 “a terrorist attack on the United States Capital.”
Weak justifications for forwarding liberal talking points.
What Cruz did is a bonus. He likely removed himself from serious contention for President (he already was for many of us) with his criticism of Trump so now he can concentrate on being a Senator. Polling has been brutal for those who bash Trump and they all realize it now.
Cruz is one of the last Senators we have to worry about voting with us.
Win - win in my book.
