CRUZ or LOSE!

It's a Rubio ad. The actress playing a hotel waitress on the TV screen (the real one, in the lobby) nods thoughtfully at everything Rubio says. But the real hotel clerk is a Bernie Sanders fan.
By 7:30 a.m., I've seen two anti-Trump ads from Cruz on eminent domain, a.k.a. fat-cat cronyism, one anti-Trump ad from one of those faceless SuperPACS saying we don't need Trumpcare any more than we need Obamacare or Hillarycare. Several Marco Rubio ads call Ted Cruz the same thing Donald Trump called him, only the word used is "weak." (Don't think it works, by the way; advertisement works best when it reinforces a desire or fear the voter already has, not when it tries to implant a false or manufactured narrative.)
I'm here in Greenville for the Faith and Family Forum, co-sponsored by the Palmetto Family Council and the American Principles Project (where I work). In a few hours, these South Carolina Christians will release the news of which candidates responded to the South Carolina Southern Baptists, the Catholic Church, and several other groups’ request for an answer: Who will lead for practical religious-liberty protections? Who will fight for the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA)?................. Notes from a Republican-Watcher in South Carolina
The article is from Conservative Review ... CR has been fully discredited as being in the tank for Cruz ... it means nothing, just like Redstate
That’s your opinion and you know what they say about that - everyone has one.
Fact ...
As you Cruzbots like to say - truth hurts
You’re entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts.
Hate to say it, but that’s four chumps who just signed a pointless non-binding pledge that ensures they will lose the general election.
Again , CR has been thoroughly discredited ...
FADA? Since when does the 1st Amendment need its own protection ?
This wont go where people think it would go.
Red State: Ted Cruz, Homeschooling, S.306, Dishonesty and Pig-Ignorance [FR Thread]
"...What is circulating now is a story that Ted Cruz supports the federal regulation of homeschooling. There are two underlying causes of this story: rank dishonesty and pig-ignorance......."
Look up the definition of “grandstanding”. That’s what this is.
Again, that is your opinion as a Trump fan.
This is nothing more that meaningless posturing. If the Federal Government is willing to ignore the First Amendment, and by extension the Constitution - what makes anyone think that some mere Act will change anything? And if it were to be repealed later, does that mean that now the protected class can be abused?
The proper response is:
No. The Constitution already prohibits such actions and as President my utmost responsibility is ensuring that the Constitution is upheld at all times.
"....For any Republican politician, this was a captive and prized audience. Evangelical Christians are an especially influential voting block in South Carolina, especially in the Greenville area, known as the Upcountry.
Cruz gave about six minutes of remarks and prayer at the start of the concert. He thanked the crowd "for standing unapologetically with Jesus, for confessing your faith with love."
Cruz talked about religious liberty being "under assault," but said that across the country "people are waking up."
"Our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values," Cruz said. "Those values of life and marriage are under assault, religious liberty is under assault, and yet the American people are rising up."
Cruz did not attack any rivals, nor did he make an overt political pitch. But he cast himself as a champion of social conservative principles,... Ted Cruz leads a prayer with 14,000 cheering evangelicals in S.C. [FR Thread]
Good, we agree then. I just wanted to hear an admission that this (clearing throat) courageous leadership was just political bombast. As you say, in your opinion like Trump.
This is a rather sad attempt by the runners-up to draw attention to themselves.
Of course Yeb makes an awkward mess of signing-on while Cruz, Rubio and Carson, having received the votes together that Trump received, well, considering the contempt Cruz especially has for the hoi polloi, it makes sense.
Pledge to uphold the Constitution or suffer the same that the Founding Fathers suffered (or faced).
Loss of life, Liberty or Financial holdings.
It’s what we are facing and face when we vote for you.
Cruz did a great job there. He said what needed to be said.
But this grandstanding is disappointing coming from him.
Another DOMA? We need a Republican who will start firing Justice Department attorneys his first day, not issue stupid edicts. We already have a megalomaniac named Obama who enjoys preening in the mirror while he issues proclamations. We need a doer, not a talker.
