I like Cruz. I don’t like his heavy emphasis on religion. If you have to tell somebody you are a Christian then something is amiss. That being said I think Cruz would be better than Trump as president. Him supporting Roberts and getting blamed on the back end? Really how many FR conservatives supported Roberts? A bunch, but hindsight is always 20/20.

Cruz being demonized because he doesn’t work and play well with others in the senate is a non-starter with me and right out of the liberal GOPE playbook of being crybabies. Some people on here are complaining because Cruz called McConnell and those other cowards out. People on here cheered when he went up against the liberals in the senate and now that makes him unlikable and a bad, old mean person, seriously are we in kindergarten. Sometimes you have to call a spade a spade and the person doing the calling out is always demonized by the lethargic turds being called out and their friends.

That being said I haven’t been a big on denouncing Trump because he has said and is saying lots of things that needed to be said a long-long time ago and I realize Trump could be the nominee and more than likely will be. Come November if Trump is the nominee I can vote for Trump easily.

Well said. I'd add only that clearly Cruz's strategy involved re-engaging the bible belt south, hence his emphasis on his Christianity. Personally, I found his testimony compelling and not the least bit insincere.

But as a strategy it obviously didn't work. That that the bible belt found Trumps bombast more appealing is a testament to how p*ssed off people are., which reflects on the utter failure of the GOP in representing its voters over the past several decades.

But the pendulum has swung way too far the other way with some of these folks, they are alienating allies they need, and that will never end well.
