On Thursday, the battle became especially pitched between Cruz and Rubio, whose campaign cried foul over a Cruz campaign website that paints Rubio as a "Republican Obama" too willing to partner with Democrats. The website, TheRealRubioRecord.com, shows a photo of the Florida senator shaking hands with President Barack Obama that the Rubio campaign claims was digitally altered.
On a conference call with reporters, U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, a Rubio supporter, said the photo is part of a "pattern of personal destruction" that also includes a fake Facebook page that claimed another Rubio backer, U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, no longer supported him. Cruz has denied having anything to do with the page, and while it has not provided any evidence implicating the Texas senator, Rubio's aides believes "where there's smoke, there's fire," in the words of a campaign official on the call.

Wolf man jackson and swamp man cruz
Cruz needs a Lee Atwater clone.
He has one.
This is nothing compared to the mess Atwater pulled.
A guy who writes a book titles “A Time for Truth” should not misrepresent, tell lies and half truths like he has. I bought the book, what a fraud he’s turned out to be.
Actions have consequences.
Lee did it with humor and a smile while slinging an “axe”.....
If Cruz can’t control his own campaign, I doubt he could lead the free world.
Blah, blah, blah. No different than the word picture created by innuendo, suggestion, and guilt by association.
That part I get.
look everyone gets why someone would support Trump. You're ticked off at Washington. Washington's corrupt, and Trump feels like a way to tell Washington, 'Go jump in a lake.' I get that. That makes sense to me.
It's not just voter anger, it's having someone who's actually willing to fix it, someone who's in a position to fix it.
And something not usually discussed by these talking heads and politicians is Trump's business success. He knows what to do to get us back on track. None of these others have a clue. In fact, they don't even try to talk about the economy.
Here’s Helicondelta again. Conveniently right around when Trump announced. Spends all day trashing Cruz.
Cruz: “But as voters get closer to Election Day and start looking at the records of candidates, you start examining them more closely, and I think two things are driving this: No. 1, the Supreme Court and then I think the second thing that is driving this is who’s prepared to be commander in chief.”
Hey, speaking of the Supreme Court, has “Mr. Lawyer McConstitutionalist” suggested anyone he’d like to be considered for Scalia’s post yet? I’m wondering if Cruz will take a break from just thrashing around and lying about everyone else to actually talk about something he would do as President.
As for national security... well. I hate to dredge this up, but his initial reaction to Snowden was:
“If it is the case that the federal government is seizing millions of personal records about law-abiding citizens, and if it is the case that there are minimal restrictions on accessing or reviewing those records, then I think Mr. Snowden has done a considerable public service by bringing it to light,” he said at an event hosted by The Blaze in 2013.
But don’t worry, a month ago some of his opponents dug this up and Cruz was quick to “consistently” now denounce Snowden as a traitor.
I’m telling you man. This guy.
*shaking my head slowly*
I tag a few noobs with a keyword that I will use to see how much time they spend here after the election. My bet? They’ll be gone.
Cruz has taken dirty tricks into the 21st century, moving far beyond the days of Atwater.
When you are ticking off the right people you are strong a chord. Since when did we care one lick about any of these RINOs?
Maybe some need to find their safe quiet zone
News flash: Trump announced on June 16. Try some other red herrings to rebut Helicondita (like facts? Truth? Research? Spending a month catching up on your reading so you can actually discuss this stuff intelligently instead of knee-jerk Trump-hate ad hominem attacks? You put the jerk in knee-jerk.)
