If I told you at the start of the 2016 race that Mitt Romney would vote for Ted Cruz in the Utah caucuses and that Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham would endorse the Texas senator's presidential campaign, you would have laughed. Probably loudly.
Cruz was -- and is -- hated by the Republican Party establishment, who view him as a grandstander with little interest in any of the niceties of politics. Cruz is the guy who doesn't play well with others, and whom others dislike -- a lot -- for that unwillingness to go along to get along.
And yet, here we are. All of those things have come to pass with Bush's endorsement -- he called Cruz a "consistent, principled conservative" in a Facebook post Wednesday morning -- the latest domino to fall. What is now beyond dispute is that Ted Cruz, the most hated man in Washington Republican circles, is the establishment GOP candidate in the presidential race. As Cruz put it this morning in an appearance on CNN: "If you think about it, in the last 10 days we've been endorsed by Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Mike Lee and Mark Levin. I mean, you want to talk about a broad coalition [that is] ideologically diverse? That covers the entire spectrum of the Republican Party."(continued)

Suspended for spamming, posting the same article 4-5 times a day, going after people on the site, including JimRob, posting obvious flame bait vanities.
“I guess all the Fascists aren’t on the left.”
And that’s the first step for people like you in that quick journey to the banhammer. your mouth works faster than your head.
Next time ditch the snark if you want an honest reply.
Cruz is not a candidate. He is a spoiler.
Cruz TRUMP 2016.
And, had their positions been reversed, Trump would have reached a temporary truce with the Establishment, as well.
You don’t even realize it, but you’re a typical Trumpophile. Brainless and toilet mouthed, both.
We’ll see who get’s banned first.
Somebody explain to me how Cruz wins FL, OH, or VA, cause without em no matter how many GoPe endorsements he gets Hillary is Prez and Cruz is done outside of Texas.
You’re about to get flamed.
Cruz is not a candidate. He is a spoiler.
Lyin ! Teb! is face of GOD.
Right now there is no reason to believe that Trump can beat Hilary.
“Cruz is not a candidate. He is a spoiler.”
This reminds me so much of the MSM and McShame in 2008. McShame was the media darling, UNTIL....his usefulness to the establishment ran out. Then it was full bore to discredit McShame. Right night Cruz is the media darling and as soon as he has fulfilled his usefulness in getting rid of Donald Trump, the media is going to pounce on Cruz like no tomorrow. He isn’t going to know what hit him.
And Trump blames Cruz for that picture of his wife. But he doesn’t go after Cruz, just his wife! Wow, what a way to compete for the women’s vote.
Just imagine how long you’d have to shop to find a shirt uglier than that one..lol
Getting tinfoil there. Haven’t you heard that politics makes strange bedfellows?
” Brainless and toilet mouthed, both.”
And even more name calling. That is why lots of your fellow Cruz buddies keep falling off this site.
That arrogance and snarky demeanor. So keep it up! I have no problem hitting that report button these days. Far too many of you seem to act like that stuff is ok.
I am surprised anyone is still surprised who Cruz is. The constitutional conservative Cruz has not shown up and is not going to show up, he is a dog and pony show and his Goldman Sachs owners are laughing at the gullible still waiting to see the promised conservative messiah.
Unmitigated BULLSHIT. The GOPe are snuggling up to Cruz because they think he will be easier to control if he wins the election. If Trump wins the elections, all these insiders will be on the outside looking in.
Lyin Ted is just another smarmy career politician no different than the rest of the establishment which is why they are now behind him 1000%. Live by the lie die by the lie.
...and please present clear, contravening words from Cruz that says otherwise before saying it's not true.
Ted's own words:
I don’t want immigration reform to fail. I want immigration reform to pass. And so I would urge people of good faith on both sides of the aisle, if the objective is, to pass common-sense immigration reform, that secures the borders, that improves legal immigration and that allows those illegally to come in out of the shadows, then we should look for areas of bipartisan agreement and compromise to come together.
Versus a Manhattan billionaire who gave generously to Hillary, the Clinton Foundation, Schumer, Harry Reid, Pelosi and many others? And you say we’re gullible? LOL
