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.
He is a man whose internal moral compass is Self, although he has managed to convince himself that his moral convictions and motivations originate from God, not from Self.
That’s the tricky thing about people who have narcissistic egotistical personality characteristics. If the person is driven by some “unmet need” or narcissistic injury experienced in childhood, that’s one thing. In fact, in today’s political climate, for the GOP at least, it may actually require a narcissist type of personality to withstand the liberal 4th Estate’s ‘torched earth’ policy with all things Republican.
A malignant narcissism that is fueled by internalized religious beliefs and convictions is an entirely different thing. It’s dangerous territory, mainly because this type of person can easily rationalize (to himself) anything he believes and any way he behaves, or misbehaves, as the case may be.
For anyone who doubts or doesn’t understand what I’ve said above, just do this one little mental exercise and you’ll see it: Picture a Donald Trump who is motivated by an internal spiritual belief system, one in which he thinks he’s The Chosen One who is here to save man from himself. Picture a Donald Trump who grew up with his father Fred telling him to ignore the naysayers because, by golly, Donald is “The Face of God”(Heidi quote).
Yuuge difference. :-)
