Must be something in the Canadian water.
=====================================
"I don't like Cruz but I don/t know why," is a frequent FR post.
Cruz/s incessant overbearing campaign seems to be aching to prove something to himself.
Maybe its a Canadian-latino/s lack of self-esteem. Who knows?
But the Oval Office is definitely not the place to go find your human potential.
Character counts and so does where a candidate/s loyalties might lie.
“But the Oval Office is definitely not the place to go find your human potential.”
That is good.
You’ve never heard me say I don’t like Cruz. To me it’s not about like or dislike, it’s about the law, which is clear... He was born in Canada.
a 5 ft 8 canadian latino in the White House after just 3 years in the Senate. Junior written all over him. I went from strongly agree to strongly disagree in the past 2 months. (short men have a strange type of ego —unpalatable)
Back when FReepers were telling us that Cruz was such an obvious choice he should just be immaculated like Obama was, I started reading about him. If you do so you’ll fina a lifelong trend of putting himself first, above others, and acting as if he were better, smarter, and destined for great things than anyone else. He wouldn’t play team sports because it meant he had to share the glory with others. Even his debate championship was not in the NDT (National Debate Tournament) where two-person teams compete, but in an individual competiton in Canada where he received all the credit himself. His reputation in the Senate does nothing to indicate he’s any different - most of his Senate colleagues can’t stand him.
If you’ve ever known someone who has a similar narcissistic personality it’s pretty easy to see why people feel as they do about Cruz. Except those who will overlook everything else as long as the ideological words he speaks are right - where have we seen that before?

I was all for Cruz until he hired Jeff Roe. That was my first seed of doubt (let’s leave aside for now that whole eligibility thing - I’d thought that would be Rubio’s problem and that Cruz wouldn’t even take it on). Then, it’s been one thing after the other. One of the worst campaigns I’ve seen in my many years observing politics.
There was a point when I thought Cruz could recover, long term. As in, I didn’t see it in the cards for him this year, but that he has a future. Now, I’m not so sure. I fear he’s blown it. Big time.
See for yourself what he said in 2013. Now he has flipped. Which Cruz is to be believed? How is Cruz a good Christians when he lies with a straight face, and cheats an honest man like Dr Carson?
