re: cruz and him allegedly supporting what Romney is doing...
This is very strange to me. Why would he do that? Surely he knows they would never back him if HE were in Trump’s place as front runner. And surely he knows they hate him. Since he claims to understand how badly we need to control illegal immigration, how could he choose to support what Romney is representing here?
Can he not see the polarity? This is very black and white, guys. This is an “Us” vs. “Them” Revolution against the UniParty going on. He claims to be a part of it. It’s not some checkers game where he moves his checkers around trying to come out the winner. Can he not see how he could just as easily be in Trump’s shoes, being ganged up on by McConnell, Romney & the GOPe? This makes no sense, and I’m truly trying to figure out his motivations.
Is there even a small chance that this “hate” between Cruz and the GOPe is actually something else? Could that be cover for something going on at a deeper level? (Just hear me out here; I’m not trying to start an argument. And I really don’t expect an answer, either).
I’ve seen for months how some people think that the Fall ‘13 secret meeting Ted had with McConnell and other RINOs was some kind of turning point for Ted. Then in Spring 2014 for some unknown reason, he (and Rand Paul) refused to help any tea party candidates across the country. In particular, Chris McDaniel was trying to beat Thad Cochran in MS in a runoff election. THEN we discover that not only did Ted Cruz not help McDaniel & other tea party people beat the RINOs, it was even worse.
Cruz was a vice-chair member of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (NRSCC), which was sending money to Cochran & Haley Barbour to pay Democrats to vote in the runoff for Cochran the RINO. Cruz was helping Cochran beat the tea party guy McDaniel!

If Ted’s Fall 2013 meeting with RINOs WAS a turning point, what direction did he go? Did he make a deal with McConnell/Boehner? I’m talking about a deal where he would run for President and if the Chosen RINO (Jeb or Mitt) beat him in the primary fair & square, then Ted would support the RINO and give him his delegates (& maybe get a VP role). But instead of turning out like that, Trump came along and messed up their plans.
(Btw, did Jeb and Ted ever attack each other in debates? I can’t remember.)
And remember that very public show on the Senate floor where Ted called McConnell a liar? He gave an hour-long patriotic speech that sent the proverbial thrill up the leg of all conservatives. I rejoiced on that day, sure in my heart that he was sincere. But now, I’m just not so sure. Could that speech have been cover for him, knowing that he was about to run for Pres and needed the votes of millions of tea party conservatives? It sure did give him more creds in MY mind, ranting against corrupt RINOs. I was even telling people at the time that if he ever ran for President, I didn’t CARE if he was eligible or not — I was voting for him!
But now... if he’s actually siding with Mittens over me, I’m just not sure he’s who he really is. I wish i knew because he may be running as my Senator again one day. And I will never vote for a RINO again, much less a man who hides it, so i really need to know who Ted Cruz is as a man.
Teddy is all about what’s good for Teddy. He’s a flimflam man, and a very good one. He snowed most all of us, including yours truly.
“But now... if he’s actually siding with Mittens over me, I’m just not sure he’s who he really is. “
I didn’t know who he really was when he stayed silent for months during the campaign on illegal immigration. Or when he condescendingly said ‘The American people don’t want to have that conversation.” about illegals here.
Now, he is showing his establishment roots. A nonestablishment conservative would not side with Romney.
Trump stands alone tonight.
I wish Ben would be there.
This explains why Cruz and Romney are tight. Among other things. Lame Cherry can be very strange but as of late, she has been cogent and does good research.
