My problem with Cruz began where he held Trump and his supporters responsible for the recent Chicago mayhem.
That was the last straw for me. Not only did Ted Cruz expose himself as a naked opportunist, but he missed a golden opportunity to demonstrate leadership.
Ted Cruz really couldn't have been more tone deaf. The occasion (a criminal attack by Left wing thugs which resulted in the cancellation of a GOP rally) should have united the entire field of candidates in a show of party solidarity. Instead, at a very serious moment when politics should have been laid aside, Cruz, instead of showing leadership, turned it into a cheap shot at the party frontrunner. Just despicable. And overtly disloyal to the party itself.
But there was an even earlier red flag: Cruz shamefully and disingenuously played the race card on Donald Trump during the Duke kerfluffle, knowing it was a smear. Nothing is sleazier than that.
JMHO, of course...
Agreed.
I’m guessing those disappointed with Trump have never changed their opinion.
Excellent assessment and evaluation. Thanks.
I agree.
I too had been sucked in to the “strong Constitutionalist” blah, blah, blah...then I learned of his wife’s Goodman-Sachs promotion (days after his Senste win), the GS loan (don’t ya hate it when you forget where you got a million loan?), her involvement w/CFR and her participation in the advocacy of a North American Union, the mispeak about having no health insurance...more blah, blah, blah. And w/each of these my questioning of my Cruz support deepened.
My shaky support got verified in the debates and ANY TIME I have seen him. He gives me the creeps. He has a problem with THIS WOMAN. There is something very off about him. Im trusting my instincts and won’t vote for him now.
He and Heidi (a young Hillary type personality to me) are another power hungry couple, straight from the Ivy League. Their little girls demeanor (dragged on stage at the END of elections nights) seem like they are being used as props in their little matching dresses. The older one not wanting to kiss her dad (the coming off the bus video—while dad peeks at the camera and forces the peck on the cheek) was really a confirmation to me. Something ain’t right within the family—so don’t “lie”’about it and show your self to be a great family man. Leave the very young girls to their nannies and normal routine. Mom and dads work kept them away for extended periods (by the Cruzs own admission). So why FORCE family time in the fish bowl of a campaign. One answer...photo op props.
The creepiness goes on and on with him. Everything I listed above was confirmed with his sell out the Soros crowd, being an opportunist to attack, and blame the Chicago mini riot on Trump. First Amendment not so an important part of the Constitution when political points can be made. I saw the lobby press conference he gave LIVE...he was practically giddy that “Trump cancelled.” Not a leader at all...just a creepy megalomaniac thinking how the riot benefitted HIM.
Cruz—no thanks. He’s an Obama from the Right.
