Uh, no he didn’t unless Cruz was impersonating a Senator back in 2005. How could he say he was wrong if he wasn’t a Senator at the time?
I’ll assume your memory is fuzzy rather than you just made up your Comment to get a dig in.
Doesn’t matter, every FReeper thought Roberts was the Man when he was appointed by Bush. Nobody here is apologizing.
Don’t know when Roberts decided he was in the Congress rather than the SCOTUS, but here we are. A Legislator in a Black Robe along with a few others...
As to your other question, what does Trump admitting a Mistake have to do with this?
Cruz said that he made a mistake in *supporting* Roberts:
I don't hold his mistake against him, since everyone except for Christ makes them. And I like that he didn't try to dodge the issue.
I tend to think Roberts was blackmailed, especially after seeing the pic of him in his younger years in which he looked decidedly, um...fruitish.
"As to your other question, what does Trump admitting a Mistake have to do with this?"
Simply illustrating the difference between Cruz and Trump...one is big enough to readily admit when he's wrong; the other is an egotist who can only flatter himself with declarations of how fantastic he is.
Shoot, not only is he adverse to admitting mistakes---he's still making them. He's voiced support for the Patriot Act, said we need to extend the Civil Rights Act to queers in the interest of "fairness", doubled down on support for ethanol subsidies, thinks leftwinger Bill Gates can close up the internet, etc.
