Why did everyone reject Ted Cruz? I know people are p*ssed at him because of his not endorsing Trump, but prior to that, there was little support here.
I thought the guy was 100% true conservative, and Christian. And he knew the Constitution, history and the issues inside out. He could have run circles around Hillary in the upcoming debates.
Because he is a total fraud, a liar, and a pure egomaniac.
He is nothing more than a ladder climber.
And on top of all of that, he is quite possibly the most unlikable person in this country next to Hillary Clinton.
And he couldn’t run circles around anyone in a debate.
Canadian born, not eligible to the office.
Had a strange voice, stranger look, and people just didn’t like him.
As an attorney, he knew he was not eligible. But he ran anyway. How can you trust a man like that?
FWIW, I liked a lot of what he said and represented. He could be a good force in our government or for that matter, outside of it.
“Why did everyone reject Ted Cruz?”
Because he’s a phony. /Holden Caulfield
Turns out he’s a moral leper without a principle, a vertebra, or a testicle to his name.
I was intrigued by Cruz. I wasn’t sure he was eligible. When he locked up his records, his eligibility immediately became questionable in my mind. That was the end of that.
Sending “Voter Violations” notices to potential voters (and their neighbors) in Iowa.....his people saying Ben Carson dropped out of the race before the Iowa caucus when Carson had not.....blaming Trump supporters for the Soros-funded riot in Chicago which caused a Trump rally to be cancelled....calling Trump supporters “uneducated” and “uniformed”....his campaign manager buying 16-year old modeling photos of Melania and distributing them in Utah before the primary; just a few things which come to mind.
Jim was initially only Cruz, but after Trump started speaking out on immigration and the rest, he softened to Cruz and Trump.
That was too much for many Cruzers, who could not understand how any conservative could support Trump.
He is a liar. He ran around for months saying Donald supports Obamacare, Donald wants single-payer, socialized healthcare for every American, Donald calls for violence at all his rallies, Donald told the New York Times he will not build a wall,Donald said he intends to appoint his liberal sister to the Supreme Court, etc.
>>>He could have run circles around Hillary in the upcoming debates<<<
Could be, but he couldn’t even run circles around 16 other Republicans at the Primary Debates.
He had to defend his wanting to increase H1-B Visas by 500%, his role in allowing Bills to go the floor rather than being stopped in Committee and his lukewarm Immigration stance including him chiding Trump for wanting to get rid of the Anchor Baby “loophole” claiming it required a Constitutional Amendment which it does not.
He made numerous errors in Judgment during his Campaign, but his Speech at the RNC Convention was the nail in the Coffin for people thinking he should have been the Nominee.
BTW - I’m a former Cruzer.
He's supposedly a great constitutionalist, and yet ran for POTUS knowing he is ineligible by birth -- got greedy. He pandered too much to what he thought sounded the most authentically conservative. Conservatives are big fans of states' rights, yes? So he goes and says that securing the border is a states' issue and the states along the border should be responsible for it! Nice try Ted.
Further, he is supposedly a great debater. I thought he was. But Trump whipped him in the primary debates. Wrung him and hung him out to dry. If Cruz can't out-debate Trump, he probably isn't that great of a debater.
I could go on, but those are issues off the top of my head. Out of everyone running, I wouldn't trust anyone more on the issues of life, religious freedom, and the 2nd Amendment...Admittedly, these are the most important things. But without effectively securing the border and making the GOP competitive in more states, we will lose on these issues and every other issue. Trump can do those things, and will, God willing, be sufficient on life, freedom and 2A.
Praying that Trump wins, in which case one of those vacant SCOTUS seats will hopefully go to Cruz, because he can do the most good on the issues he is best at, for much longer than were he in the White House.
He was, and is, 100% unelectable (possible exception of Texas, we shall see in his Senate race). America won't tolerate a hardcore Christian, not least because we believe in Armageddon.
He was a creep, a liar, and a creep.
He flew with Hillary/Obama and who knows what conversations went on during that flight, “Help us destroy Trump and we’ll get you the nomination in 2020.” I imagine something like that. Plus money.
After hearing just a few of his campaign speeches, it became clear Cruz wasn’t honest.
Cruz campaign was caught 5 times doing this:
1. Attempt to steal Carson’s votes in Iowa
2. Photoshop Ad about Rubio and Obama
3. Phony Ad about Rubio comment on the bible
4. Phony push poll Ads in SC about Trump.
5. Failed to declare very low interest loans from Goldman Sachs.

Hi Joann37, we supported Ted Cruz right through January. Our problems came from the reported and confirmed issues with how his campaign was being run, the behavior of his people and his responses to bad behavior of his people. We were disappointed that he fell into the the "Trump attack trap" that was so completely obvious to many of us donating to his campaign. It was a desperate act out of bad campaign management. Later, he confirmed our fears with his childlike responses to Trump winning.
Finally when he withheld his endorsement of Trump, we wrote him off forever. There is something irrational compelling his behavior and if there is one thing that sticks out to me with many people, it's dysfunctional behavior. We really try to avoid the bad ones. It really showed here. I don't want to support him any more following what he revealed about himself during the campaign.
I may be a bit strange but I will not be a hypocrite.
Cruz is a fraud & a globalist who revealed his true nature during the primaries. Thanks be to God Trump crushed him & gave him the platform at the convention to sabotage his political career.
Vote Trump 2016
Those that he ran around D trump were not circles.
He looked good on paper, the perfect model. Then he went and opened his mouth....
“I thought the guy was 100% true conservative, and Christian.”
He was none of those things.

“And he knew the Constitution, history and the issues inside out”
Maybe he KNEW the Constitution, but he ignored it, considering his birthplace.

“He could have run circles around Hillary in the upcoming debates.”
His debating skills are greatly exaggerated. He was a TERRIBLE debater in the primaries. Terrible! Maybe he did well in college debates when the subject was narrow and he had time to study. When the topics are broad and varied, and he must think quickly on his feet, he chokes. Once again: He sucked in the primary debates. Hillary would eat him for lunch.
