They lie, (Crus supporter) bear false witness, and refuse to see or hear the truth/facts.

They are slimiest, sleaziest most immoral group I have ever seen. BUMP!

St Ted is prone to pontification. He’ll say anything to advance his ambitions. Makes up lies like “Pres Trump is going to work with Sen Harry Reid.” Cruz doesn/t even know Reid is retiring and wont be around when Trump is president. Isn/t it strange? Sen Ted is unaware of what’s going on in the US Senate...where he supposedly represents Texans.

BACKSTORY Ten months after Cruz was elected to the Senate, his long-held ambitions for the presidency began in earnest. Trusting Texans did not know Cruz was using the Senate seat to advance himself into political power.

Cruz is looking like ex-Texas Gov Rick erry.....two stealth candidates trusting Texans hardly knew.

At first, Cruz (like Perry) looked good....prez material, even. Then candidate Cruz (like Perry) began admitting things that trusting Texans knew nothing about.

Gov Perry shocked his constituents when he admitted in a presidential debate that he was using trusting Texans tax dollars to give illegals in-state tuition...and that they were heartless b/c they did not like this use of tax dollars. (Perry also installed the country/s first Sharia Court in Texas....active to this day).


Cruz heaped on the surprises:

<><> I didn/t know I was a Canadian citizen when I ran for the Senate until the media exposed it.

<><> I told trusting Texas voters wifey and I were liquidating family assets so I could get into the Senate.

<><> I didn/t know I was supposed to tell the FEC I borrowed over a million from my Wall Street margin accounts to fund my campaign.

<><> I told Mark Levin the borrowed funds were used for campaign ads....but I didn/t report this as required.

<><> And so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.


BACKSTORY In Texas, Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary......portraying himself to trusting Texans as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.

He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that he, and his faithful little wife (a $700,000 globalist lawyer employed by G/S), were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.

NOW TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from Texans).

Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from Texans.

At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn/t know.

When the Dallas Morning News published Cruz/s Canadian birth certificate, Cruz put Texans through the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship.....even though Canada did not recognize dual citizenship at the time of his birth.


Cruz’s latest numbers indicate he would lose a primary challenge for his Senate seat. Clearly, Ted isn’t as well liked in Texas as he wants everyone to think.

In the Texas prez primary, Cruz did not do as well as expected even w/ Texas Gov Abbott running the show. Cruz didn’t even come close to winning a majority in Texas. He would have gotten a lot more delegates if he had.

Cruz got 1,239,370 votes but that/s only 44% of the vote-—56% of his own constituents rejected him. delegates.

NY/er Donald Trump got a whopping 757,618 votes....27% of the vote....he got 47 delegates. Floridian Even Rubio got 502,223 votes....that/s 18% ... w/ 3 Texas delegates.

Cruz spent a bundle but came away looking like a reject.

The bill that left the Senate was not the same bill that returned to the Senate - the TPA BullS**t. The Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) part of the bill was unchanged. Cruz wrote and op-ed supporting TPA/TPP. You Cruzers do nothing but lie, lie, lie.

There was a line for Dems and a line for Repubs at my polling place.

The sign indicating which line was which had an arrow for the Dems.

It pointed to the left .

P.s. the morning of the election, the R line was 30 people long on average, while the D line was empty.

43% was pretty good considering that about a dozen people were still on the ballot even though they had dropped out by the time of the primary.

Perhaps, but Cruz also didn't have the whole GOPe/RNC/MSM and a host of others actively trying to take him down - hypocritical to say the least when he makes that statement...

How Cruz stacks up against other recent primary candidates (data from a website called What the Data Says). Read the info as date, candidate, state and percentage of vote won:

3/00 Gore TN 92%
3/00 GWB TX 88
3/16 Sanders VT 86
3/12 Romney MA 72
3/04 Kerry MA 72
2/08 Clinton AR 70
2/08 Obama IL 65
2/08 Huckabee AR 60
2/00 McCain AZ 60
3/04 McCain AZ 60
3/04 Dean VT 58
2/08 Clinton NY 57
2/08 Romney MA 51
3/12 Gingrich GA 47
2/08 McCain AZ 47
3/16 Cruz TX 44

Note who’s dead last?

I had one cruz voter tell me that Trump only won 66 out of 67 counties and cruz came third b, because there were 17 people running.

It’s like some of them live in a rainbow, delusional world.
I’m surprised I have not seen that in this thread how one of them will try and switch the debate and say cruz won so what while ignoring what the cruz campaign actually said.

While all the candidates were on the ballot, most had already suspended their campaigns.

I sense fear in the Cruz camp, all of the math challenged media idiots and delusional Cruz supporters are in for three weeks of absolute hell with Cruz get a whooping primary after primary. They fellated each other over their victory in Wisconsin, but realizing a few dozen delegates didn’t do squat getting Ted to the nomination. I think Trump has reconfigured and learned finally not to spike the ball before the end zone. He really does need to not engage with Cruz in the personal attacks. I could never see Reagan acting like Cruz has done, the wives, etc. Talk about desperate and angry. This stupid comment by Cruz is a bit of Sun Zsu, irritate and provoke your enemy. I still think by end of the month Cruz will see how hopeless it is and drop out. Not endorse Trump right away, but drop out. The howling and whining here will be epic and insufferable.

It’s long past time for INELIGIBLE, “I GOT 44% OF MY HOME STATE” little Teddy to drop out.
In N.Y. state polls, he comes in THIRD, with a low of 12% to a high of 17%. LOL


After Cruz takes his beatings in the northeast primaries he will go back to trashing New York to justify his embarassing losses. . He’s transparent on that at least. What a slimeball. LOL.

Correct. Cruz got roughly 44% of the Texas vote.

BUT...Trump got 27%!

If Cruz cannot match Trump in percentage and delegates won in the New York primary, since he can win districts and gain delegates, THEN CRUZ should drop out.

Sadly, Cruz is BELOW the threshold to get any delegates, 20%.
