I know the Party Boys will wail and scream it’s my duty to be loyal to their Party and support the turds mentioned in this post if they are the appointed nominee, but I just can’t do it this time around. Trump showed me loyalty is one way with the GOP and I’m not playing the game anymore.

If the GOP Party worshiping pukes nominate these losers and a chunk of the base sits it out or votes third party the loss is on the Party Boys not the base. You all have shat on the base since 1989 and the free ride is over.

This is why Tucker is authentic, he calls them out even if they are GOP. Hannity would never do that.

Ted Cruz thinks if he can knock out Trump, then he’ll be the next President. What a maroon.

Exactly, if the MSM can't do it with their 24/7 365 attacks on Trump, Cruz can't.

Well, it’s our duty to STOP the Party Boys in their tracks.

We did it with Trump, and we’ve done it with a number of other high-profile people who the Party Boys wanted. In fact, Cruz did it, in 2012 - David Dewhurst was the ‘selected’ Senator (a John Cornyn clone, or worse). We also did it with Rubio (proving we’re not perfect either). And many others.

He occasionally sounds good. But he is never really good.

Bingo.

I was a big supporter of Cruz. He’s dead to me now.

I never said Reagan wasn’t pro-American.

However, you can’t ignore the fact that his VP was the former head of the CIA.

Reagan was supposed to be a deep state stooge and Bush was supposed to be the operative handling him. Whether Reagan went along with that willingly or tried to resist, I don’t know.

One thing is clear....amnesty for illegals (multiculturism), enriching the military industrial complex, the war on drugs (militarization of police), strengthening our intelligence agencies and other precursors to the “New World Order” were all kicked off on his watch.

Eisenhower warned us about the military industrial complex and intelligence agencies taking over the government in his farewell speech.

Kennedy intended to dismantle the intelligence agencies and pull back from Vietnam and was killed for it.

Every President we have had since then except one was part of the same cabal. Some were operatives (Johnson, G Bush, Clinton) Some were stooges (Carter, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, GW Bush, Obama, Biden)

Nixon wouldn’t play nice with his handlers and was removed.
Maybe Reagan wouldn’t play nice and was shot.

“DC happened to TC.”

Liked Cruz in 2016, but have been very dismayed by his statements.
He definitely wants to fit in to DC and walk their line.

Hope he now recognizes he has no presidential qualities.

Trump nailed it.
Lying Ted and Slow Joe.
We do need term limits now. One term for members of congress then out!
No frigging pension, no life long professional politicians.

One benefit would be they wouldn’t have much time to spend on
gov’t issues as they would making agreements for their future.

It’s coming down to a few women with any spine in the Republican party. And newcomers at that. The rest are just shills for the democrats.

Blackmailed

If you are vulnerable to blackmail, you have no business running for office. Either accept the threat and let it play out, or make room for someone who cannot be compromised in that manner.

All politicians (even the “good” ones) are psychopathic narcissists. That is a job requirement since you get the job by winning a popularity contest where you lie about the other guy better than he lies about you. If they aren’t getting the attention they crave, they have no problems reinventing themselves to generate buzz. I think that Cruz has bad focus group research.
