Trump supporters seem to want some type of a statue of limitations on his past political opinions and actions.

How far back do you hold Cruz to account for his political opinions and actions? Do any of your criticisms of Cruz revolve around events before McConnell’s re-election?

Not comparable situations. McConnell had 30 years in Washington and was elected because he was a Republican in a year in which “taking over the Senate” was the major issue.He was seen as the man who would lead the Senate to the right against every thing his predecessor had done. Little did anyone know he would just be more of the same.

While I don’t like some of Cruz’s actions, even when in private practice, I did support him until I began to see that his words were just more political drivel because his votes did not match his words. I’d call him a shyster, or a flim-flam man, but I try to be polite and simply say he is no conservative and definitely not “America First” enough for me. Every indication on his votes and his many speeches indicates his true position on illegal “immigration” is to legalize them and let them stay. He is not for defending our interests economically by demanding more favorable trade pacts, or in simply eliminating them except in one on one negotiating, where America retains her sovereignty. His vote on restricting the Senates ability to Stop Obama’s deal with Iran blew my mind. He was dead after that. Haven’t we had enough of junior senators taking us to the cleaners? Do we have to do the same thing again? No, I think not!
