A good catch by Mediaite from Cruz’s interview this morning with Chris Stigall, and de facto confirmation of what I wrote earlier about the frustration he seems to be feeling with Hannity (and Fox News writ large). To be clear, it’s Stigall who brings up O’Reilly and Hannity. Cruz doesn’t name them as hosts who are “in the tank for Trump” but he’s complained before about O’Reilly’s habit of defending Trump and his spokesman’s complained about Hannity pushing Trump’s talking points. And Cruz’s silence in not challenging Stigall about O’Reilly and Hannity is deafening. He pointedly omits them from his list of hosts who aren’t in the tank — Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, and, er, Rush, whom Cruz is careful to compliment. Did you know, Cruz boasts, that Rush has said that if you’re a conservative voter, I’m the obvious choice for president? And it’s true, Rush has said that.
Look who you stand with today - Bishop Romney, Mitch, Ryan, Beck. Anti-conservatives my ass. So, so, so , so full of crap.
I think Cruz is being slandered much like Nixon in 60.
Hopefully Cruz can still pull it out at the convention
If not he should come back like Reagan in 80 or Nixon 68.
Trump is a blue blood anticonservative
Cruz has genuine conservative opinions regardless of public cost.
Great word for that whiny, whinging, egmaniac loser Teddykins.
Cruz called Mitch a liar. Not sure how Ryan supports Cruz.
I like rush and levin.
I’m pretty sure trump is a cult.
Pure BS, Cruz is doing this to himself. I understand that this is hard to hear, but he is making deals with the devil to stay in this race. If he keeps this up, he will never recover. Cruz’s opinions may be conservative, but his actions aren’t so. If Trump is so anti-conservative, why is Cruz stealing his ideas and rebranding them as his own?
The CINOS are the drooling sycophantic, personality cultists for a lying, cheating, FRAUD.
Trump supporters fully understand and accept his shortcomings. Cruz supporters refuse to understand his shortcomings. Who do you think the cultist here is?
He is NOT a "BLUEBLOOD"; a term you not only misused, but don't understand the meaning of.
THANKFULLY, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT CRUZ WILL BE THE HOP PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE IN '16Y AND SHAN'/T EVER BE PRESIDENT !
Trump is not only extremely CONSERVATIVE, but he's an old fashioned patriot, in the same vein as our FFs!
Ted Cruz is a sleazy FRAUD, a LIAR, a CHEAT, and an out and out FAKE !
You are not only delusional, but sadly, refuse to see reality at all.
LOL...Do you even know what a conservative is????
Donal trump"
Hey Look! It's lonestar! Always a weakling insult, usually a pithy 2 liner, just to show up and call Trump supporters stupid people, anti-conservative, subject of their Great Kind Trump.
Boring! We've heard it from you 1000 times. Nothing new, just a boring insult.
No, LonelyStarfish, I am not anticonservastive, and Trump is neither my savior nor king. In fact, I merely support his candidacy. I will consider him an employee whose salary I pay.
But you know what I have found? No not a King nor Savior, I have found you your next president. Isn't that awesome! Congratulations LonelyStarfish! It's only April and yet you know who your next president will be! You should be showering me with thanks, but instead you are just an ungrateful negative nelly with 5 legs and no head.
The funniest thing is Cruz was in Florida giving a speech today. He forgot he landed 3rd place there. I guess he is hoping for a do over. (Yes I know he was buttering up the GOPe at the rules committee).
Whose name is Donald trump
I have to acknowledge the undying loyalty of yourself and others to Cruz, but you are now on a fool’s errand. He is NOT going to be the GOP nominee in 2016. My personal opinion is that he was too ambitious, too impatient, and sold out to the GOPe too quickly to ever make it. I don’t see much of a political future for him beyond possibly staying in the Senate if Texans reelect him. But it looks like he’s done himself in, no one else.
You poor thing. You sure have been taken in by that liar, cheater and just plain out creep. Vote Trump. People have been going after Trump for months.
False. But you have been taken in by the liar trump
LoL.
Excellent article from Hotair.com, and spot on in my opinion. This quote is interesting.
“The reason Hannity is being criticized is that he is giving a ton of airtime to a not very good caricature of a conservative, and that he is doing absolutely nothing to expose a faker for what he is.”
And Hannity should be criticized for precisely that. He claims to be a conservative, and all that entails, but when you listen to the way he conducts his interviews, he is clearly pushing Trump. He usually couches the idea in some sort of appeal for party unity, but nevertheless he is not supporting the only remaining conservative, Cruz. Listening today, you would have thought that merely because Trump won his home state, that he was predicted to win, and everybody knew would, somehow the race was over. Nothing has changed. We are looking at nobody getting the required number of delegates.
I’ve heard it mentioned that Cruz has actually had more air time than Trump which would be surprising, but would still be irrelevant to the way he treats the two.
This election has cast much needed, revealing sunlight on the conservative cause and not just the politicians, but many of the media in television and radio. It is illuminating how many are not truly conservative, but rather GOP cheerleaders.
Ted Cruz is one of the biggest weasels this country has seen in a long time.
You don’t have to be an anti-conservative to see that, just have a modicum of common sense.
>>Cruz has genuine conservative opinions regardless of public cost.<<

Are so-called conservatives incapable of questioning the globalist policies like Surrender Trade (TPP etc.) and NATO (the globalist DoD)?
Where did you people get the idea such bad policies are “conservative?” Is it possible you are being fed sh*t sandwiches by globalists who have absolutely NO REGARD for AMERICA?
