Ted Cruz's Revolution
The Atlantic ^ | January 25, 2016 | MOLLY BALL

Posted on 01/25/2016 6:29:46 AM PST by GodGunsGuts

BARNSTEAD, New Hampshire—They hate Ted Cruz so much.

His fellow senators publicly denounce him and call him names. They yell at him behind closed doors and complain about him to their lobbyist friends. They hate him with a wild, deranging passion. The Beltway grandees, with their consulting contracts and expensive suits, would sooner die or move to Europe than live in the America he would govern.

And Cruz revels in their hatred...

Was that revealed to you in one of your prayers?

The Uniparty is the #1 reason for the decline of America.

They hate Cruz the most, because he will destroy them.

More like “Does not play well with the establishment and corrupt crony capitalists like Donald Trump”.

"Listen," he continued, "if you think things in Washington are doing great and we need to keep heading in the same basic direction - just kind of fiddle around the edges - then I ain't your guy. On the other hand, if you think Washington is fundamentally broken, that there is a bipartisan coalition of career politicians in both parties that get in bed with lobbyists and special interests and grow and grow and grow government, and we need to take power out of Washington," at this, he crouched and reached forward as if to physically snatch something from an unseen foe - "and back to We the People," - leaped up and hurled his clenched fist backward - "that is what this campaign is all about!"

Yeah, what a moron. < /s >

Consider the source. This hit piece is written by a woman who seems to “seethe with hate” for the Republican Party.

Always consider the source.

And that is why the Trumpets hate Ted Cruz because they know their guy is just a poser compared to him.

Let’s be level headed as we go through this.

We have totally defeated the GOPe / RINO / Uniparty / WSJ / Rove Caucus of the Republican party.

“WE” are both Trump and Cruz supporters.

Trump and Cruz have different visions, either of which means the Uniparty won’t be in charge for 4 years. Great.

Having come this far, let’s not have a Civil War that results in neither Trump nor Cruz winning.

" then I ain't your guy "

The idiot can talk I'll give him that, but that is all he can do.

The idiot could not even remember he was a natural born Canadian, or twice forgot to properly indicate the loans from his owners.

Now he is supposedly reveling in the fact that he is hated?

What kind of an idiot revels in the hatred of others.?

I'm a Cruz guy. I wouldn't be a Trump guy even if Cruz didn't exist. I believe Cruz wants to destroy them but I have no idea of how. We a whole Congress of Cruzes.

The authoress is not kind to Cruz ...

This kind of routine, which Cruz delivers with choreographed precision at every campaign stop, makes the D.C. elites gnash their teeth. It seems so phony, so theatrical, so contrived. But here on the campaign trail, the people do not hate Ted Cruz at all. Here, they love him.

We'll have primary election results before the first of March. Iowa, NH and SC. An extra helping of spin for the duration. More popcorn please.

“Having come this far, let’s not have a Civil War that results in neither Trump nor Cruz winning.”

That’s where this primary is headed and what is desired by the GOPe.

The polls are showing that Trump and Cruz are pulling in about a combined 60%, + or -, of the GOP electorate, in most locales. This should inform us (Trump & Cruz supporters) and the GOPe that their days of control are coming to an end.

This is the power for major change. Unfortunately, the environment has become so poisoned that the effort may be self-defeating...

Does this confirm that Rafael Edward is revolting?
