Why do they hate Ted Cruz so much? Well, yeah, partly it's because he's conservative. But why hate that? It's more than that. It's threatening. And I'm just gonna tell you: In the case of Ted Cruz, every damned one of these people knows full well that they're not in his league in terms of IQ, in terms of intelligence, in terms of talent and ability. They can't compete with him. So they ignore him. They pretend he's not there. When they do have him on to interview him, they usually resort to tactics of intimidation or putting him down or snark or some such thing to try to mask his intellectual superiority over them.
They can't keep up. They despise him. He's a threat in that regard. You combine the kind of raw, native intelligence Cruz has with his heartfelt conservatism, and you have personified what the left fears the most. Therefore what they hate, what they despise. They know they'll never be able to corral Cruz. They'll never be able to control him. They will never be able to impugn him intellectually. So they go after him in other ways. They compare him to a preacher who doesn't give the money back. They compare him to somebody has no happiness.

Part of the effect of the media cartel peddling so many lies is that people suspect everyone of lying all the time.
It makes it harder for truth tellers to advance.
That is what is happening here.
Cruz is being slandered by insinuation and association, when Trump has done far worse.
In my opinion, both are great choices for Conservatives.
Their “sins” are being blown all out of proportion.
This ridiculous picking apart of our two best candidates is cheered and encouraged by our enemies.
Rush is either terribly naive, or actively complicit in abetting the Cruz scam.
And Cruz impugns himself with lying and pulling tricks on other candidates. Very underhanded and not honest.
¡Teb! has gone full Bush
¡Teb! Crush 2016
Who, in this instance, is “they” ?
I think it is shown that Trump has Ted beat on non-substance.
Corker vote, TPA cloture vote
Rush has a man crush on Ted.
Sorry, Rush, but if Ted were the same guy, only less intelligent—they’d treat him the same way.
He is far less of an outsider than he lets on to be, but still, the Establishment is merely using him this point to try to derail Trump and slip their own guy in.
They have absolutely no intention of have Cruz be their nominee.
And yes, Cruz is knowingly letting them use him.
Until recently, I would agree that the GOPe is afraid of Cruz. But the recent endorsements by Romney and Yeb! have led me to believe his is trying to come in from the cold and that his real problem is that he does not know how to be friends with people. He should have stayed in the Senate.
Cruz isn’t even especially smart. Otherwise why would he do consistently stupid things?
Cruz at the core is an establishment Country Clubber like Rush. They are yesterday's news.
“Rush has a man crush on Ted.”
And Rush has a 70 million dollar a year crush on his SPONSORS, who hate Trump.
LOL
Can't take more than 30 seconds of this guys voice, pauses, etc.
Cruzbush is horrible.
Nope, the truth is they all know he is the biggest hypocrite up there, is fully one of them(establishment), having duped some conservatives into believing he is principled, when evidence abounds from dirty campaign tactics to Bush endorsements that he is a clearly a complete phony.
Cruz will never be Prez, in this election or any other.
He can’t win FL, OH, or VA and nothing he can do is gonna change this.
I wonder if Rush’s young bride might be influencing his politics? Where might Kathryn and Heidi’s paths crossed in days of yore?
Pillow talk!
But according to you your guy wont?.
Two people going for the biggest job in the world, the stakes are pretty high.
Both think that they are the best for the job, both are going to do what they can to get it.
Teb!
Gee a pushy,boisterous,egotistical Texan for Cruz,why are we not surprised? Why Don’t you chip in and get him a decent pair of boots that disguise his bowlegs.
