“Since going to Washington, he's made some missteps that have put a question mark over his vaunted conservative bona fides - TPA and Corker being the two most egregious examples.”

No hope for you buddy. You're discounting the most conservative member of congress in recent memory, for what, someone who just fell off the turnip truck, bumped his head, and became a “conservative”? I'm fine with someone preferring Trump to Cruz, as he's my second choice (see my tag line), but damn if going to accept him to badmouth a real conservative, with huge conservative credentials, on a conservative site, for the sake of running flack for his preferred candidate. As I said, something smells bad in Denmark, and I think it is YOU.

Ted was originally my guy. I donated four times to his presidential campaign, and only stopped donating when he voted for TPA. In addition, I voted for Ted for U.S. Senate, in the primary, the run-off, and the general elections in Texas.

So why don't I support Ted now?

TPA
Corker bill
H1-B visas
'Poison Pill' amendment tickery
Teddy bears and soccer balls for illegals
Glenn Beck already swore him in as President
Married to Goldman Sachs
Robert Mercer
Homo mega-donors
"NY values"
Me too!
Canadian born (not NBC)
Career government employee
Freshman Senator, wet behind the ears
Iowa Caucus debacle
Preachy, not natural (a personal turn-off)

I soured on Ted for all of the reasons above.

When Trump came on the scene, he came out of the gate saying the exact things I needed to hear from a candidate. Even still, it took me a few weeks of studying the man, to give him my support for president. I'm now comfortable with that choice, and have no expectations of changing it.
