So according to you, Cruz never contributed to the Senate fund?
Cruz didn’t lift a finger to help McDaniel during the runoff. That is a fact.
I already told you my terms. If McConnell’s PAC gives a huge donation to Trump, and if Trump’s bundlers climb into bed with McConnell’s PAC, I will withdraw my support.
Are you a troll? Otherwise, why are you ignoring what I post? How many times do I have to lay out these terms? For rational people, once would be enough. For trolls a thousand times wouldn’t suffice.
The RNC and many of the state GOPe are Cruz’s ground game. Trump has to pay for his because the GOPe is actively working against him and for Cruz.
Get back to me when Ryan, Priebus and McConnell start helping Trump, or at least allow him a level playing field, instead of actively working for Cruz against Trump.
Difference with Trump is he pays the lobbyists the lobbyist are not paying him!!!! YUGE difference!!!!
I don't know if Cruz contributed to the fund - but it was not his decision who received the funds from it, and unlike Trump, he never donated directly to McConnell.
Cruz didn’t lift a finger to help McDaniel during the runoff.
Well, apparently McDaniel doesn't agree with your assessment:
"Speaking on the back of a pickup truck at Connie's Fried Chicken on Tuesday morning, the Mississippi firebrand heaped praise on Cruz as the one of the few Republican senators to help him when establishment Republicans defeated him just a year ago.
"When you're running against Thad Cochran, you're running against the entire establishment," McDaniel told CNN. "So to have one come out and defend me, it meant a lot to me."
Dude, With 95% or more of the libtard media hammering him and Cruz, Kasich and some 200 Soros supported hit teams trying to kill him off, I’m surprised that Trump hasn’t called in the Marines, most of whom are supporting him.
And here’s the element you’ve conveniently overlooked: These folks WORK FOR TRUMP and he SIGNS THEIR CHECKS, unlike the other guy who, I strongly suspect, is getting IN-KIND, GRATIS SERVICES and DOUGH to keep him in their Wall Street, oligarch control freak pockets for those all-important post election “favors”.
Special interests will no longer have to try to MERELY INFLUENCE positions/actions taken by Trump & his staff/campaign members — the SPECIAL INTERESTS have BURROWED IN AND BECOME INTEGRAL/ORGANIC MEMBERS OF THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION.
Doesn’t it get tiring to keep having to move the goalposts for Trump???
Ouch! I think that caused some butthurt on this thread. lol
Cruz has this disgusting, slimy, revolting, dishonest, sleazy MO that he uses again and again. He waits until the actual fight, whatever it is, is over, and then he rushes in and tries to score points.
In Mississippi, Cruz was MIA ***until*** Cochran’s victory was secure. Then he rushed in and championed McDaniel’s (already lost) cause. As dozens of Cruz supporters ADMIT, Cruz did squat when it mattered/might have helped. Afterward, he called on the corrupt state to investigate itself. Proud Cruz supporters are very proud of this call to action! Although I’ve asked dozens of times what the result of this ‘investigation’ was, the answer is always the same.
Crickets.
Cruz pulled the exact same sleazeball stunt when Brat was working his butt off to unseat Cantor. Cruz stayed primly on the sidelines doing NOTHING. Then, after Brat’s victory was a done deal, Cruz sent out a tweet in which he attempted to share and bask in Brat’s success.
Cruz acts the part of a bottomfeeder.
Do some research on how the Council on Foreign Relations surrounded Ronald Reagan. Reagan wasn’t independently wealthy, so he had to work very hard to put things over on them.
Remember when Donald Trump said he consulted himself on foreign policy and everyone got so upset about that? Now he is bringing in the people he will need to do things from day one.
I know you would rather have the CFR and Goldman-Sacks running things directly, but they are going to have to really work at it this time. ;-)
So we should take you word on the subject over McDaniel’s... Sorry, I don’t thin so.
“Lobbyists, abortion issue, okay with transgenders - what party is he running in?”
The one he proposes because the people in Washington “are stupid”. /s
There are no outsiders in the political consultants club. It would defeat the purpose. All candidates hire from the same pool.
Nice source that Washington Post, I mean, Politico. They can’t take down Trump so now they go after the guy that’s going to win him the nomination on the floor.
Good luck with that.
I have wrangled this issue with DOZENS of Cruz supporters. When pushed hard enough, they ADMIT Cruz did nothing to help McDaniel when it might have made a difference.
Want to know why?
Probably not, since it reflects poorly on your guy. But whatever.
Cruz VOWED to his fellow senators that he would not intervene in their primary races to help defeat them. This was the same time frame he was making nice with McConnell. He was trying to smooth over hard feelings.
So when I used to argue with Cruz supporters on this subject, guess
what they said? They said it was right and honorable for Ted to refrain from helping McDaniel When It Mattered,because Cruz was merely honoring his vow. SMH.
You have clearly never vetted your own candidate. That, or you’re very dishonest. You should know these things, and not have to learn them at such a late date.
Btw, McDaniel was thanking Cruz for his support After The Fact. I.e.: Cruz did support McDaniel after Cochran’s victory was secure. No one should fault McDaniel for that.
“Sen. Ted Cruz has told Republican colleagues he won’t intervene in their primary fights next year or do any fundraising to help the Senate Conservatives Fund defeat them.’

Since you have no idea exactly what Cruz did or didn't do for McDaniel, and since the only person who DOES know (McDaniel) completely disagrees with your premise, what you think or say about the issue is irrelevant.
Cruz did nothing to help McDaniel during the primary or the runoff. This was per Ted’s promise to his fellow senators. Sorry you find this so disillusioning. Perhaps it’s the first inkling of your awakening to the real Cruz. It’s an unsavory realization.
Take it up with McDaniel...
I’ve addressed McDaniel’s comment twice, and you’re back in your troll routine. An honest person would acknowledge that the issue has been addressed, and offer something productive to the exchange. All you do is play the troll game.
You: I’ve gotten this person to address McDaniel’s comments twice—let’s see if we can make it thrice!
Uh...no.
What’s far more interesting, however, is your insistence that Cruz is not a trustworthy individual/man of his word. I gave you a link that quotes Ted’s promise to his fellow senators not to interfere in their elections. Yet again and again you insist that Cruz broke that promise in Cochran’s case.
Can it be that even Cruz supporters know their candidate lies and goes back on his word? I’m beginning to suspect they do. They just hate Trump so much that they’ll support Cruz no matter how many times he tells.
How else to explain your insistence that Cruz lied bald faced to his Senate colleagues?
