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!

Sorry, the Bevin supporters here knew better. Many of us not in KY tried to get McConnell out. You we being very selective with your remeberance.

Cruz is a shyster and flim-flam man to you but Trump’s business history is pure as the driven snow?

Maybe a lunch with one of the investors from one of the four bankruptcies would be enlightening on just how forthcoming Trump was as he pitched the investment.

And you never answers the question: do your critizisms of Cruz refer to events prior to McConnell’s re-election? Can you go back farther in time on Cruz than you think I should be able to on Trump?
