Then there is this.Seems Teddy the cruzer may be a lot more GOP-e than we knew..... .................................
"Never mind the blatant race-baiting by Cruz. That is just standard Tea Party talk. The thing that stands out to me is the unchecked hypocrisy from Cruz in his comments. What Cruz doesn’t want anyone to know, and why he has tried to stay quiet during the primaries, is that he is a Vice Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. He is a huge part of the very “machine†he is complaining about. Come this fall, he is going to be organizing and attending fundraisers for all of these so-called ‘establishment’ Republican candidates that he likes to whine about.
Back in March, Cruz stated that he was not going to do any real fundraising or campaigning during the primaries. Why? Because he didn’t want to have to explain his siding with incumbents at the time, especially if some might find themselves defeated by good ol’ grassroots Tea Partiers. OK, fair enough. Then why didn’t he just resign his Vice Chair post with the NRSC and allow someone else to take his place? Well, you see, Cruz still wants to go out and raise funds for candidates and help them win when the midterms really pick up steam this year. Basically, he wants to get all the glory and credit in the end, while not having sullied himself during the primaries. I guess this is his way to keep his Tea Party/anti-establishment cred.
The thing is, he isn’t anti-establishment. Not one bit. He is just opportunistic and craven. Cruz does whatever is going to get Cruz the most in the end. He is just as intertwined in the GOP/DC machine like any other player on Capitol Hill. He just wants to be seen as the biggest of all the bigwigs. He wants to run the show. He doesn’t care what he says and if it is contrary to things he’s done and said in the past, or what he will do or say in the future." ...............................
The piece above is from 2014 and had to do with the Thad Cochran/Chris McDaniel senate race primary in Miss.Seems Haley Barbour who is bgr a lobbyist firm worked togeterh with the senate committee to get hit piece adds run in Miss accusing McDaniel of being racially prejudiced blatant lies.
It was an open primary and there was all kinds of voter fraud and many blacks wound up voting for Cochran due to the misleading and outright fraudulent adds.Seems Cruz was on the Senate committee helping all of this along. afterwards he takes McDaniels side pretending he is outraged when in reality he was part of the gop-e who allowed it.

‘Ted Cruz supported investigating the MS runoff results.’

In post 1130, Rodguy builds on an assumption that Cruz was neck-deep in the taking out of multiple tea party candidates.
