"Oh, when Ted started attacking, lying, cheating, scamming, flim-flamming, etc., etc.," - j.argese

If you repeat that Trump mantra 100 more times, does it make it true? Here's where I, and I'd like to say, many of us have a real problem with this type of invective. Cruz was one of the most honorable candidates going into the election. He was widely disliked in the Senate because he, to quote William F. Buckley:

"...stands athwart history, yelling stop, at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it."

No, he didn't play "nice" in the GOP-e sandbox.

Then Trump comes along with a bunch of half-truths and all lies in his character assassination of anyone who disagrees with him, anyone who's in this way, and Trump supports echo him, as you are doing.

Facts aren't important. Honor and integrity aren't important. It's 100% Alinsky all the way, with Trump supporters.

Trump isn't going to win the November election with 60% of GOP voters hating him, and 40% committing to never voting for him. It ain't gonna happen.

So go ahead, trash Cruz and every other GOP candidate, and certainly their FREEPER supporters, and you're guy has a golden path to the White House.

For sure man ...

It’s not just a “Trump mantra” that Ted Cruz lies. You aren’t reading the thread. There are thousands of words describing people’s reactions to the Cruz campaign that have nothing to do with Trump. That pre-date Trump commenting on them.

If Donald Trump weren’t even in this race, and Cruz had still hired Jeff Roe and played things this way, there would be many people saying the same things they are now.

Just because Cruz has a lot of people in Congress who don’t like him, doesn’t make him an honest person. I really wish that Cruz people would realize that. He can irritate all of his colleagues and still be one of them who they just all don’t like.

I don’t say Ted Cruz is a liar who treats voters like gullible commodities because of anything Donald Trump did, or because I favor some other candidate, or I love the GOPe, or anything like that.

I say those things about Ted because I have two eyes, and at some point, I can’t deny the obvious.

I don’t need candidate mantras, I had a grandfather who taught me to see through the propaganda and question what was laid upon my plate. You would have been better served had you the same.
