You don’t get it. Cruz’s “courage” that I voted for in 2012 was actually nothing but a show. It was a really clever ruse. It was his cover to paint himself as a “true conservative” who would be a shoe-in for the 2016 nomination on the unlikely chance that Jeb didn’t make it. It would have worked, too, if not for his bad luck of trying it the same year as some guy named Trump.

The filibuster. The calling out of Chief RINO McConnell on the Senate floor. The “face of God” man who didn’t put any money in God’s donation plate.

All for show. I just hope enough Texans see it before his next Senate run.

It was a really clever ruse.

If Cruz is like Bush i.e. doesn't need Republican voters, country without borders, pro common core global warmist, you are right. I don't get it. He has me fooled.

If he is pro Obamacare like Kasich, again, I have failed to see it.

If Cruz is really a stealth voter for big government i.e. everything obama and clinton believe, he has really pulled the wool over my eyes.

No longer does any of this matter. He isn't getting nominated for anything.

I don't know what his Senate plans are. The boys and girls in Texas will need to decide that outcome if Cruz chooses to run again.

It wouldn’t have worked. The media went easy on Cruz once he was the only chance against Trump. They overlooked so many easy smears and attacked Trump with all thier might. Compare the way Megan Kelly treated Cruz and Trump for reference. If Cruz won the nomination they would have branded him a religious nut case with plenty of video from his father and Glenn Beck and he would have gone down in flames. The same would have happened if he became a threat to Jeb. Cruz or Rubio was desinged to be Jeb’s “Conservative” running mate to suck up the base why Jeb ran against the base.

Cruz never had any chance of at the whitehouse.

One question about not putting any money in God’s donation plate.

I do not put my donations at church on my taxes. I could, but I don’t. Sometimes I have just one or two bucks to give, and when I do, I give more, and sacrificially. Once I just grabbed all my walking-around money, without counting it, and put it in the bag.

A 1040 line item does not necessarily lead to a logical or accurate conclusion about actual giving.
