Ted Cruz and the Tea Party were voted into office to stop corrupt crony capitalists like Branstad and Trump from continuing to do business as usual. Cruz is sticking to his promises which is why anyone who ever supported the Tea Party needs to stick with Cruz.
Agree. But Trump Mania has taken over FR.
Disclosure : I was glad to see Trump dump Me Gyn.
Am wondering if Cruz should have done the same...
I don’t like ethanol subsidies, or Trump supporting them.
At the same time, I still support him.
Because I’m not looking for immaculate perfection; I’m looking for results.
Trump has delivered amazing results before a single vote has even been cast.
Cruz... not so much. His comments last night were... unpleasant. Not because they were against Trump, but because they were obsessed with Trump. They were the actions of a victim agreeing to attack someone else because they didn’t want the bully to beat them up. Whether that was the intent or not, that’s how they played out to a lot of people.
It seems that Cruz has been defined not as conservative, but instead as not-Trump, and as long as he is defined by another candidate instead of himself... well, what do you expect?
Cruz had a chance to unchain himself from that perception last night. He didn’t.
Ramble over.
