Cruz to tea party supporters: Don't get 'burned' by fake conservatives...

[Jim Robinson]

He’s not a fake conservative. He’s an American.

[elhombrelibre]

And here is a good example of a fake.

EXACTLY. Why vote for one of the liberals, when you can vote for ME?

[Suz in AZ]

A REAL conservative is like a unicorn.
It doesn’t exist.

[j.argese]

Or Canadians, no voting for Canadians ...

[SoConPubbie]

He’s not a fake conservative. He’s an American.

Sorry Jim, you can't be for Kelo or a Single-Payer system and NOT be a fake conservative.

He's certainly an American, but not a real conservative.

When the Tea Party first began, it was not a conservative or a democrat movement. It was a movement to hold all politicians feet to the fire.

That is the reason that so many people got on board. That was the reason that both scumball political parties hated it.

The Tea Party was destroyed by a certain party and some of the original supporters co-opting it to mean it was for whatever they believed in.

Tea Party was not just conservative, but we thought that it was.

What you are seeing with Trump now is that giant group of people back and exerting that momentum.

The movement has power because it does not identify with ideology, but with pro American policies.

Cruz is mistaken if he believes this.

[an amused spectator]

YEAH!

We need ruz, The onvenient onstitutionalist!

[euram]

It looks like he got burned by the fake conservative Glenn Beck.

In 2011 Beck accused the TEA Party of being “racists” for backing Gingrich over Romney.

in July 2014, Beck, with Cruz in tow, went to the border to hand out soccer balls and teddy bears to illegal invaders.

In Sept 2015, Beck accused TEA Party members who support Trump of being “racists.”

Beck is a neocon toady, open borders supper, white guilter, not a conservative.

[Jim Robinson]

Ok, he’s not a real conservative. Nor is he a fake conservative. That’s not the point. In this race, he’s unabashedly America first. And that seems to be connecting with Americans, regardless of party.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (CNN)—Ted Cruz implored a Tea Party audience here on Saturday to examine closely the record of candidates like Donald Trump and Marco Rubio, warning a crowd not to get "burned" by fake brothers in arms even as he declined to utter his rivals' names.

There are some who believe that the fix is now in for a TRUMP/Rubio ticket. Notice Ted use of language, I think he knows the establishment and Trump have cut the VEEP deal.

And here is a good example of a fake.

And THAT is an example of a Trump who I fear may miraculously reappear in late January 2017 after he takes the oath of office. With there is NOT a solid core of belief, it is easy for one to be “MALLEABLE”.

[Yashcheritsiy]

I’d bet that if I knew every last position you hold on every last political issue, I could find a couple of things where you deviate and thus could be called a “fake conservative.”

[KGeorge]

ROFLMBO

[SoConPubbie]

Yeah, that’s a good definition Jim.

[SoConPubbie]

I’d bet that if I knew every last position you hold on every last political issue, I could find a couple of things where you deviate and thus could be called a “fake conservative.”

Only if you are starting from a moderate world view in forming your idea of the Conservative to Liberal spectrum.

Any realistic and objective overview of Trump can never label Trump a conservative.

[Yashcheritsiy]

Nope, see above. You should vote for me, instead of your practically Communist Ted Cruz.

[brickdds]

Re:” he’s unabashedly America first”

Wish that it were the case.
Unfortunately he has been, is now and forever will be Donald Trump first.

[SoConPubbie]

I'd bet that if I knew every last position you hold on every last political issue, I could find a couple of things where you deviate and thus could be called a "fake conservative"

You don't get to support Kelo, Single-Payer HealthCare, Abortion in cases of Rape, Incest, Life of the Mother and dependent on the age of the unborn baby (and there are other issues) and get to call yourself a conservative under any objective measure.

That's just plain lying.
