I have openly admitted I could live with Cruz, but I don’t see him as any change agent as he is funded by the same folks the rest are... I have also thought from day one he has huge general elections issues.
I have never thought Cruz a bad man, or directed hatred toward him or his supporters.... That ended when he blamed Trump for the unrest in Chicago... since then the rhetoric coming out of Cruz’s mouth might as well be a commies on that topic.... I personally am done with Cruz, if he thinks when organized thugs show up with the stated intent to cause mischief that its the other persons fault when they do, you are not remotely conservative... the stuff coming out of his mouth on this topic, he might as well be Bernie or any other leftist.
I am the guy who got him off the ground. Me and a few thousand other guys. Back in March when Cruz was NOBODY, WE did that. Cruz owes US.
“when he blamed Trump for the unrest in Chicago”
That was a mistake. Cruz is not mistake-free. He had to correct himself on two bits of legislation back in the Fall. Fair enough. He should correct himself on Chicago.
An essay posted the other day called “The Hollow Man” really sums up Cruz accurately I think:
“For Ted Cruz, the central flaw is a malignant narcissism that erupts into condescension, intellectual arrogance, and a sense of inevitability. He is no longer carrying the message; he is the message. That attitude, of course, leads to the message getting lost, as principle after principle is sacrificed to get the man into office, because that is all that matters.”
Since Friday night Ted has doubled, tripled, quadrupled, etc..., down on those statements. He has zero intention of backtracking.
Well, should he win the nomination & be campaigning against Bernie or HRC, I guess we’d get a real education on how a professional politician would handle violent disruptors & organized thugs.
They would, and will go after him if given the chance. His religious beliefs, his immigration, his college background, his finances, his marriage, his family, his friends....
I’m sure he would take responsibility for provoking them. (laughs)
