Beats me. This is supposed to be a conservative site. Spouse and I have not donated since this hatefest to Cruz started.
Cruz used to be my guy and I even tried to give him money but his website had quirks or something. Every day after that I got texts and emails begging for more. I felt like a mark.
Then I found out Heidi is CFR and Goldman and SHE begs for money also. She’s so scared.
Then he says he’s a committed Christian and consistently employs dirty tricks against his pops, like the gentle doc Ben Carson.
Turned me completely away.
It was like this for 2000 Bush/McCain, 2008 McCain/Huckabee/Romney, and 2012 Romney/Paul/Santorum...
I expect that if we haven’t fought a Civil War between now and then, we’ll have the same idiotic arguments in 2020/2024 as well.
I liked him....until Beck hitched his wagon.
Really shameful the way Ted has been treated here.
I thought this was a ‘conservative’ space.
Ted was one of the few who put political capitol on the line for conservative causes, and the Lilliputians around here now seek to kill him.
Perhaps loyalty is no longer a conservative value.
Who knew?
ABout half of the posters in FR will get their panties in a wad no matter who wins the nomination. They will claim that they are the only true believers and will swear not to vote for the nominee ‘as a matter of principle.”
The Republican party has a problem with keeping the loyalty of all the factions. The Democrats never waver in their support of their nominees.
So whoever wins the nomination, he has a good chance to lose and this time we lose the S.Ct for a generation or two and by the time a conservative is elected America will have been transformed into something unrecognizable to me.
Oh please
Lord how you guys play victim
It’s a primary fight
The Hate Trump and his supporters threads here are far more numerous
Take yer mom jeans off
I was content with Cruz as my second choice. What started to turn me off was the attacks by Cruz Supporters. “Trump isn’t a real Christian”, “You’re not a real Christian, if you support Trump”, “You’re not a conservative if you support Trump”, “You have no principles, if you support Trump”.
I was all-in for Ted after he first announced his run for the presidency. I donated four times to his campaign, as well, which is something I’ve never done for any political candidate.
And then he made that fateful vote on TPA. That was the turning point for me. I began to feel uneasy with him. Then came his vote on the heinous Corker bill. At that point I came to a full stop in my support for his campaign.
Even then, I didn’t dislike Ted, but as the months have rolled on and I’ve discovered much more about him (all of it documented, by the way), I’ve lost a great deal of trust and admiration I formerly held for him.
"Albuquerque. See, I can do it too. Snorkel."
"Trump Rocks! Make America Great Again!"
"You're stupid. Trump's a liberal. He supports abortion, is friends with Hillary, and said Obama is a great President."
"No, you're stupid. Cruz will say anything and flip flop on any position he has to, to get elected."
Or something like that.....
I am a Cruz or lose kinda girl. Trump is a human gumball machine. Look for anything to come out of Trump’s mouth. I will hold my nose and vote for Trump but I prefer Cruz.
I don’t know, but they need to go to DU now that they are backing partial birth abortion, single payer, the DREAM Act, Corporate Welfare, and ‘Bush lied, Kids died.’ They all are one reality TV show from backing Bernie Sanders.
Cruz fought to cut military spending via Sequestration, but now claims he has been a staunch supporter of a strong military. He is lying, and I don’t like liars.
I’ve not changed. Still Ted for me.
Cruz is still my first choice....Go Cruz!
I liked him and wanted him on the ticket with Trump. I first was turned off by Cruz at his Iowa victory speech. First words out of his mouth were thanking Gd. That is a pet peeve of mine, thanking the Almighty for a contest between men, AS IF Gd Didn’t like the other candidates. And then, he went into a full on speech about VICTORY!! when it was only one small state and caucus. It was absolutely horrible. The Cruz I thought he was would have given a different speech, a humble speech, thanking his voters and campaign workers, and talking about the work that still lies ahead.
Next were the mailers to look like the voters had done something wrong, and shaming them in front of their neighbors, with fake facts.
Then the lies about Carson, and the even worse coverup and after the fact public humiliating apology.
He just turned out to NOT be the person I had thought him to be. Now, he continues a pattern of lying against Trump. The kind of stupid lies that are easy disproven. He lost me.
..when the Jacobins took over...
