Sen. Ted Cruz: Trump 'Just Broke' Liz Cheney
Newsmax ^ | Monday, 29 August 2022 | Charlie McCarthy

Posted on 08/29/2022 12:41:27 PM PDT by conservative98

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said former President Donald Trump simply "broke" Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who "decided she is a Washington, D.C., left-wing Democrat now."

Cruz, speaking on his "Verdict" YouTube show, spoke of Cheney's recent loss in the Wyoming Republican primary after she joined House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Jan. 6 select committee as vice chair.

"There are some people who Donald Trump just broke," Cruz, R-Texas, said. "They hate Trump so much that their mind went on fritz.

"And I got to say, Liz is unrecognizable. She has become a left-wing Democrat now."

Cruz said, while he sometimes takes issue with Trump's personal actions, he has been aligned with the former president when it comes to policy. That is unlike Cheney, whose remarks stemming from the House Jan. 6 Select Committee are "indistinguishable" from Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., or Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., according to Cruz.

"Trump came into power, and her mind just shattered," Cruz said.

"Cheney's circus act on the Jan. 6 commission is indistinguishable from what Nancy Pelosi would say. It's indistinguishable from what [Senate Majority Leader] Chuck Schumer would say."

"She didn't just lose, she lost by almost 40 points," Cruz said. "And the reason is simple – she doesn't represent the people of Wyoming anymore. The people of Wyoming are conservative. And she has decided she is a Washington, D.C., left-wing Democrat now."

Following her primary defeat, Cheney said she intends to continue her assault on Trump after losing in her bid for reelection. She added that she even was considering running for the White House in 2024.

Cruz told "Verdict" co-host Michael Knowles it was a "badge of honor" that Cheney had made him the "No. 1 person on her list" in attempting to defeat conservative Republicans.

He wasn’t wrong about Cruz’s father

I didn't comment on that one way or the other. I just stated that it is a bit much to expect Ted Cruz to support such statements about his own father.

Ok, then she’s a serious TDS sufferer, and now a wannabe democrat. Either way, good riddance to bad rubbish.

Anyway this is ancient history. Let’s not keep on relitigating 2016.

An earlier poster stated that Cruz was obliged to support Trump 100% on EVERYthing. I only brought it up becayse that is part of EVERYthing.

I was a huge Reagan supprter, but I sure wasn't keen on the astrolger business, nor on Sandra Day O'Connor.

Nope, she is still a uniparty faithful servant, and not a servant of the people. The people in her state finally recognized that fact. 🙂

.....she’s not alone among erstwhile “conservatives” who have fundamentally changed politically due to what we call Trump Derangement Syndrome. Just a few others who come to mind include: Bill Kristol, Max Boot, David French, Jonah Goldberg.

.....George Will, Steven Hayes, Joe Scarborough....

I've been listening to Verdict With Ted Cruz podcast for a couple of months. It is pretty good.

People were misinformed about Republican bring patriots. 🙂

People are beginning to wake up and realize that not all Republicans are actually patriots. 🙂

One of the biggest bombshells that hasn’t exploded yet is that Ted Cruz was spied upon too during Russiagate.

It was told yesterday that all 17 GOP candidates were spied on by Hillary before the 2016 election.

This pretty much sums up the DC bubble today. Very troubling and getting worse by the minute.

“I was a huge Reagan supprter, but I sure wasn’t keen on the astrolger business, nor on Sandra Day O’Connor.”

O’Connor sure was a disappointment - but I’m not sure it’s possible to predict how a SC Justice is going to perform. The best we have is Clarence Thomas, and he was picked by Bush Sr of all people…probably for all the wrong reasons.

As for the astrologer thing… I never paid much attention to that.. because I have something in my own life that has given me a different perspective: My wife is a practicing family MD who often hands out homeopathic “medicine”. I put it in quotes because I believe it is total BS, just like astrology.

This bothered me at first, until I realized she would NEVER substitute homeopathy when true science-based medicine or treatment was indicated. She has learned there is an emotional and nurturing side to medicine that is very real… asking the patient questions, carefully examining them, discussing the stresses of life and things as simple as diet or sleeping habits… and yes, sometimes giving them sugar pills and talking up “alternative” plant-based natural remedies.

People need to be cared for on many levels beside pharmaceutical prescriptions, and it is important to remember that modern science is not perfect, nor are modern medical institutions like Big Pharma above being mistaken, or even corrupted.

Believe it or not, even though I am a grown man and know homeopathy is just sugar pills that do nothing, I have still felt cared for at times by my wife when she gave me those pills - and sometimes it saved me from chasing down the unhealthy rabbit holes of Big Pharma, and gave me the patience to let my body heal itself naturally, through better diet and better living habits.

Your mileage may vary, but for me, the idea of RR listening to an astrologist is not disturbing at all - astrology is BS - but it is a far less harmful form of BS than the Keynesian and Marxist BS all the other politicians were listening to!

There is no reason for Liz's fanatical hatred. Is she delusional? Or has she been bribed by Soros? Unlike Biden, Trump does not hate this country. Unlike Biden, Trump caused no damage but instead tried to improve our lives. Unlike Biden, Trump is mentally competent. Yet, I have not heard Liz attack Biden. If she has, I have missed it.

I’m sure there are more like her who just might stay at home. And yes, Trump loves this country unlike Biden who seems set on destroying it.

Just like the democRATS did to Former Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Arlen Specter, who turned out to be just another useful idiot, for the RATS.
