So ... according to this Cruz is a secret insider because of Fiorina’s endorsement.

But Trump is still an outsider because of Chris Christie’s endorsement?

ROFL!

right.

It means Carly knows she wouldn’t make the cut when Trump starts hiring. He already said he was not impressed with her

“$500,000 transferred from KtP1 (Keep The Promise) which is Ted Cruz’s Super-PAC, to CfA (Carly for America) Ms. Fiorina’s Super-PAC, in June of 2015. What clarifies now, with this new information, is how the fallacy of false choice was being presented to us by the Wall Street financial team, the Globalists, last year. Remember, even the FEC wanted know what they were doing (LINK).”

O.K. Cruzers, why woud he do that?

Nice hit piece. Cruz has a proven track record of being a conservative, unlike the RINOs mentioned herein, and the remaining candidates on the ballot. He is the only proven conservative.

If you want to depart from that and try something different, then cool. But stop the madness by any insinuation that Cruz is part of the establishment. They freaking hate him.

Ted Cruz, a lawyer politician and you call him an outsider?
Cruzers need to wake up and see Cruz as the stealth Establishment candidate he always has been. One lie after another.

Cruz was supporting amnesty until recently. This move is so transparent anyone can see his dishonesty
Jeff Sessions endorsed Trump - not Cruz

So what’s the point.

Everyone knows the mothers milk of politics is money.

Without gobs of money you can’t come close to getting elected.

If folks want to shift that paradigm, happily vote for Trump or for some other filthy rich guy.

In addition, by Ted Cruz adding Neil Bush Cruz is signifying an ideological alignment that is 180° divergent than most of the supporters of Ted Cruz would be aware of. These alignments point to a direct acceptance that much of the story-line behind Cruz’s candidacy was false.

I disagree (and I hope and pray that I'm right). I read this hiring as signifying that (1) Trump is the person most responsible for knocking out Jeb (thank you, Donald!) and thus the one Jeb's staff is most angry at, while Cruz is his only viable rival, and (2) that Cruz is at least marginally better by the standards of Jeb's former staff than Trump, for whatever reasons. To the extent that those reasons match my own (an issue that concerns me, but so does the question of how flexible Trump would become once he had the republican nomination), I'm okay with that.

Why would Cruz accept Jeb's staff? I hope he is doing it watchfully, making sure they do not squander the Cruzz budget the way they wasted Jeb's massive funds. I hope he is doing it to gain their expertise in the areas where they are knowledgeable. I hope they will be used to make his primary and general election campaigns more effective. I'm okay with that too.

With all those Bush money men, and the talk of a "contested convention", and a few other dots to be connected, is it possible to see a Cruz / Bush ticket? A supposed throwback to the Reagan / Bush ticket?

Trump better win outright or we could see some really strange things.

Nice writeup.

In my observation, Ted Cruz has a proven track record of standing up and talking loudly when nothing of realistic consequence is on the line, then slinking off into the shadows to vote for the globalist agenda on issues of real substance when the orders are phoned in, and creating a formidable word salad of “explanation” after the fact. His “protest votes” only happen when they don’t affect the outcome, which leads me to believe that he’s been allowed to do his dog and pony show on occasion to set him up exactly as the article describes.

That coupled with the 11th hour sidling up to the Bushes and other GOPe forces, lends credence to my long-standing suspicions.

I’d rather have Cruz than Hillary or Bernie, but I’m under no illusions that he’s any kind of real “outsider”.

Fiorina worked for the John McCain campaign in 2008 as a surrogate. She again worked in 2012 as an official campaign spokesperson for Mitt Romney. Indeed, in the beginning of her own presidential bid last year, Carly Fiorina stated she was urged to run in 2016 due to a conversation with Mitt Romney. So, we re-engage the intellectual honesty with a reminder of Carly Fiorina, and now find ourselves answering a nagging previous question.

No. Fiorina is a prominent republican, so she supported republicans in the past. That is far different from the implied conclusion that she is a Washington insider.I would guess that most Trump supporters on FR voted for Mitt Romney four years ago, but that doesn't mean we should reject their comments. Even before Carly endorsed Cruz (my first choice), and even if she instead had endorsed Trump (my second choice), I saw her and would have seen her as an honest outsider, completely different from Jeb/Christie/Rubio/Kasich.

This is a simple hit piece with no visible substance.

75% or so of FR sees Trump as the best choice and Cruz as an (often grudging) backup. 25% or so of FR sees Cruz as the best choice and Trump as an (often grudging) backup. We don't need to slam each other's candidates with nonsense articles like this (and, yes, I know that both sides are guilty). Guilt by association is not a valid reason to reject either man. Our priority should be to make sure the establishment does not pull a fast one and force a third candiate on us who is neither Trump nor Cruz, not to take down one of the two in the hope that our guy will be the only one left standing.

When Ted Cruz was 12 years old and memorized the Constitution, he was approached by the cabal of the GOP establishment and recruited to be a sleeper agent 33 years later.

They got him into Princeton then Harvard Law school. They put him as an intern to William Rehnquist and then brought him to the attention of the Governor of Texas as a brilliant legal mind and rock-ribbed Constitutionalist to help with his campaign.

This cunning and all powerful cabal then had him argue Bush v. Gore in front of the Supreme Court to push Bush over the top.

They convinced Cruz to go back to Texas and take the job of Solicitor General, where he went back to the Supreme Court many times to defend the laws of Texas and to support cases like Heller v. Washington D.C.

They sacrificed one of their own to Cruz’s conservative campaign that aligned him with the Tea Party movement, that clearly the GOP establishment anticipated in 1983 when Cruz was recruited.

Once in the Senate, they encouraged Cruz to fight against the establishment at every opportunity. They had him call McConnell a liar, they had McCain call Cruz a “whacko-bird”, they had him filibuster and shut down the government.

And what was the purpose of this three decade deception? So they could get Neil Bush to pull his strings halfway through the 2016 GOP Primary season.

Mission accomplished!

“That said, Team Cruz has shown new evidence of being much further aligned with the GOPe than most political observers, and high-information voters, might be willing to accept.

Here’s why:”....bla bla...tinfoil....bla...more tinfoil...an entire roll tinfoil....

Cruz just hired the entire Bush machine to bring the money in. They get a commission for their money bundling, of course. How else is Neil going to pay for the upkeep on his multi-million dollar Houston house or start another very stupid software company? Oh yea, now the f’ing Saudi’s are backing Cruz because, well, they back the Bushes.

Hmm, maybe I have it backwards, maybe the Bush machine that has been raping the US Treasury for generations just bought Cruz? Yea, there you go.

Now here comes Carly who has been trashing Cruz in the recent past. Google it, I’m not taking the time to herd the links for anyone to watch. Watch her videos about Cruz, see if you can catch any part of her face moving, I could not.

So, Cruz turns out to be a raging insider tied to the Bush family and Carly is too. Why is that? Oh yea, dollars.

Oh, one other thing, Michael Berry on KTRH in Houston is a total douche! Why did I throw that in? because it is true.

Many of us have been watching the game for many years, we get the game, we understand the game, usually it is hard to figure out who the liars are until it is too late but this election cycle Trump has shone a big bright light on the cock roaches and it is HILARIOUS to watch them scatter or stand still like Romney just did. It is fantastic.

Oh, and remember, Michael Berry is a douche!
