I agree with the content of this post. We have people on this forum who are clueless when it comes to the big picture. For example, some wrote him off because he went on Jay Leno’s show.
We need to be part of the debate and then to direct the debate. Being Barry Goldwater on all issues is stupid.
I’m anxious to hear what Ted Cruz says.
Let’s retake the Senate and then the WH.
Barry Goldwater on all issues? You mean being pro-abortion?
We know what Cruz’s true core beliefs are, he has proven himself many times, so this is mostly lip service as other people have said. Sometimes you have to grin and bear it and go on a TV show or a funeral for a questionable person, that’s how politics work.
These fools got played like a violin by the Democrats. There's a reason Senator Cruz was singled out among Republicans to make a statement on Mandela and attend his funeral. This is because the administration knew many of his supporters would go absolutely ballistic if Cruz had anything positive to say about Mandela. This gave Democrats a perfect opportunity to paint Cruz's most ardent supporters as a bunch of foaming-at-the-mouth racists in an effort to discourage any mainstream support Cruz might earn on other issues.
The plan worked perfectly. One only needs to google "Ted Cruz supporters" to see how much traction this has received.
