Video: Why Senator Jeff Sessions Did Not Endorse Senator Ted Cruz…

Consevative Treehouse ^ | 3/5/16 | Sundance

[Amntn]

During the debate last night Senator Ted Cruz was asked a direct question by Megyn Kelly about why didn’t Senator Jeff Sessions endorse him. Cruz artfully avoided answering and instead deflecting his response to falsely accuse Donald Trump of sending Hillary Clinton four campaign contributions in 2008.

Senator Cruz never answered the question.

So why doesn’t Senator Jeff Sessions support Ted Cruz? The answer is within this video:

Sessions said Cruz lobbied congress members to defeat the bill.

Those are Jeff Session’s own words!

I have yet to meet a Cruz supporter who understands the value of sovereignty. That is almost certainly a function of the fact that Cruz has never stated the fact that a country which has lost control of its borders has already lost its sovereignty.

“Jeff Sessions says Cruz was pivotal in defeating the Gang of 8.”

Jeff Sessions told Mark Levin, about two weeks ago, that the defeat of Cantor was the thing that stopped the Gang of Eight. The Gang of Eight bill passed the Senate with 68 votes. That is a measure of Cruz’s efforts.

If he hasn’t ever acknowledged that reality, he’s not someone we should place at the helm of our nation.

There really isn’t a more important issue IMO.

Nevertheless the fact is that the House had the votes. Both Boehner and McCarthy counted—two counts in all. The votes were there. This was a Monday. The question was, schedule the vote for Thursday or Friday? Before Boehner made that decision, Cantor’s loss to Brat rattled the House like a magnitude 8 earthquake.

Immediately afterward Reps began contacting Boehner to say their yes vote had become a nay. Mercifully, we were spared this country-ending piece of legislation.

Cruz’ silence on the open border/sovereignty issue, coupled with the teddy bears, is precisely why I stopped supporting him. He was my first choice. After endeavoring for weeks on end to locate a Cruz statement on sovereignty, I switched to Trump and haven’t looked back.

[neocon1984]

Sessions figures that Trump will win and nominate him to Scalias’s seat. That would be OK with me, but I would prefer a true conservative (Cruz) as POTUS.

[Dr. Sivana]

Sessions obviously believes Trump will follow through on his immigration plan and likes it better than Cruz’s.

That's a fair inference to draw. It doesn't imply that Cruz is bad, only that Sessions thinks that Trump is the better choice.

[Beagle8U]

The fact remains, this thread is based on lie!

[DoughtyOne]

The CFR issue with Heidi ranked far higher on my warning meter than it did with Ted’s folks.

It’s something they laughed off as if it didn’t matter.

[Wpin]

Cruz had the worst voting percentage of any Republican candidate in their own home state primary in over 100 years. The people who know him best don’t like him...and most Americans don’t like him. He is a pathological liar and cheater. The sad thing is, he isn’t lying to Trump...he is lying to you his supporters.

[DoughtyOne]

I did not realize he had made no comments about US sovereignty.

How do you avoid that?

Did he ever come out against the Trans-national Super Highway?

It was smack dab in the middle of his state. How could he not speak out against it?

[ElectionInspector]

Cruz is Goldman Sachs bought, and CFR paid for. Just a fact that Cruz supporters love to ignore.

...please, do you have ONE piece of proof for that statement? He is bought and paid for because his smart wife has a job? tRump is a Soros buttboy bought and paid for with his bank debt, so what’s the difference?

ymmv

[Theophilus]

he certainly doesn’t come across as a man that gave less than 1% of his income to his church.

This is one reason why charitable deductions don't belong on a tax return. I am completely against brackets, deductions or credits of any kind.

We contributed to the Cruz campaign early on and up until we were convinced that Donald Trump was sincere in his bid for the White House. We still receive five to six emails daily from Cruz and they are generally non specific about purpose other than to promote him as a conservative battling against the various forces of liberalism. Yesterday the first email was a disgusting pitch for money based on the Trump Univ charges and we have unsubscribed to receiving further emails. However, since the signatures to the emails are not all the same on a given day, I think that whichever one is replied to receives credit, or a percentage, for the money they raised.
I am done with Cruz and was never enamored of Rubio. Neither of the first term junior Senators from their own state has the resume or ability to be an effective US President however evangelical or conservative they may be. While Trump, Rubio and Cruz are all good Americans, only one can actually win the general election, that being Donald J. Trump.

Jeff Sessions Praises Donald Trump’s Answers to ˜Sessions Test™

Sessions noted that to date “Trump is the only candidate who has “answered to my satisfaction”.

[HoosierWordsmith]

Thanks for the information. However, the video is pure propaganda, a conspiracy theory contending that the US is undergoing a transformation with eventual loss of sovereignty by 2023 comparable to the rise of the EU and this process falls at the feet of Heidi Cruz of Goldman Sachs, and then by extension Ted Cruz. Interesting hypothesis, nice video quality, but absolute balonga!

This story portrays a guilt by association for Cruz and his wife with the financial and political powers of the last 40 years and IMHO borders on slander. Most importantly, the video never mentions Jeff Sessions or in any way reveals Jeff Sessions’ concurrence with this amazing hypothesis about the evil Ted Cruz and his wife. So, the title of the post is at best misleading.

There is a term for a video like this...yellow journalism!

[Fantasywriter]

Here is all I can tell you. After Trump entered the race and spoke of our lost sovereignty, I wondered what Cruz had said about it. I searched diligently, but found nothing.

For several weeks afterward, I asked Cruz’ biggest and most passionate supporters about it. Most ignored the question. Some insulted and/or attacked me for asking. One supporter provided a link. The upshot of the latter was that I had to slog through an entire Cruz speech to verify that nowhere in it did he in any way, shape or form refer to sovereignty.

I’ve seen no Cruz statements re sovereignty in the meantime. My take is that his biggest contributors don’t want him talking about it. Otherwise, why no statement on something so fundamentally crucial?

[gusopol3]

I can call you the same but leave out “useful.” The headline is “This is why Jeff Sessions... “ and that is why it is a lie. The headline could have said “This is why Jeff Sessions MIGHT HAVE... “ Seeing the source, whom I consider unreliable, I would have passed on to other things without bothering with it; after all, it’s hard not to know who Heidi Cruz works for by this time. Instead I wasted time trying to see where Jeff Sessions said “this” is why I didn’t endorse Ted Cruz. For all I know, Jeff Sessions didn’t endorse Ted Cruz because Cruz made an obscene phone call to his wife; this vid sheds no light. It is a lying headline, unfortunately what I’ve come to expect from you Trump people.

What are the odds... Cruz wife loves CFR North American unification plan, and pushes Sachs money into her husband’s campaign. Oh yeah, and she was also a CFR member. Why? Why CFR and not one of the many conservative thinktanks out there? Was she recruited? If so, why? Just be curious. Is that too much to ask?
