This campaign has shown Cruz as he truly is. And here’s what he is: Republican click bait for conservatives. He’s been ineffectual in stopping the taxing and spending. He’s been ineffectual in stopping Obama in any real way. The party continues on while he makes a lot of noise. Cruz is the shiny jewel that keeps conservatives voting Republican. I used to think that he didn’t know he was the shiny jewel. But now I think he knows and has always known. I think he’s using the label “conservative” to further his own ambitions. I think the GOPe keeps him around because ultimately he brings MORE money to party. This is evidenced by his big money lobbyist donors. He’s been an ally of the Bushes for years. He IS part of the establishment machine.
I could not have said it better.
Thanks.
You put it better than I can. I will add that his usage of the Church to advance himself in politics strikes me as quite un-Biblical - notwithstanding his campaign tactics.
Absolutely perfect post.
LOVE the definition of Cruz as Conservative Click Bait. I wish conservatives didn’t fall for it.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. I sent a little money to Cruz in July and now I get 5 emails a day:” URGENT: Ted just texted me asking if I would email you...” from Heidi!! Insulting the Intelligence of the Voter Much? He is CREEPY
yep
“I think the GOPe keeps him around because ultimately he brings MORE money to party. This is evidenced by his big money lobbyist donors. He’s been an ally of the Bushes for years. He IS part of the establishment machine.”
Okay, I see your line of thought here. Cruz has been contaminated by some of the GOP establishment supporters joining with him.
By that reasoning, when Trump wins the nomination and some/most/all of the GOP machine and primary voters and financiers get behind him to defeat the Dem when they previously supported someone else, does that now mean that Trump is contaminated also by the GOPe? Or is it better for all the Bush, Christie, Kasich, etc., supporters and financiers continue to not support Trump?
