Oh, Doughty. That is not worthy of you. You know that Cruz fought the establishment in the Senate to the point that Donald said he has no friends there. Donald regarded it as a bad thing that Cruz fought for principles instead of bargaining and negotiating. I do not.
So, how is he lined up with Romney or Rubio or the Bushes?
That doesn’t even make sense. I believe Romney endorsed him but that doesn’t make Cruz lined up with Romney.
You know that he fought Rubio on the gang of eight thing and won. Rubio has not even endorsed him.
As far as the Bushes go, ... well, that is a reach to say he sided with the Bushes... can you illustrate that?
If you’re mad that Cruz beat Trump in Wisconsin and virtually denied him the votes he needs, just say so.
Don’t drag in untrue and inconsequential stuff.
That is Trump’s job and he’s doing it very well.
Also, it is my understanding that there is a rule here about supporting the nominee. Are you jumping ship on that?
Is it in the GOPe/RNC interest to subvert the will of the primary voters?
Who is trying desperately to do that?
Speaking of memory holes this is perhaps the most egregious example around here.
Cruz championed the cause to STOP the Gang of 8 and was (rightfully) lauded for his efforts here on FR when he did.
He stood up in the Senate to continue a fillibuster in the Senate in a last ditch attempt to stop Obamacare, something NONE of his fellow Republicans did.
He called Mitch "the Turtle" McConnel a LIAR, ON the Senate floor!
The calls for his nomination were over the top just ONE SHORT YEAR AGO on FR, and if the FR of back then could see what some around here are posting about him now, quite frankly they wouldn't believe it. They'd call it a hoax from the left!
The newbie/inactive trolls in the last year are one thing. I can excuse their behavior (to a point) because they clearly had an agenda from the beginning (destroy Cruz at all costs) but the old timers around here should be ashamed of themselves quite frankly. To allow themselves to be so sucked in, swept away by the glitz and glam of a TV reality show star, capitalizing on occasional missteps and outright lies told about the Cruz campaign.
I thought FR was better than this. Talk about minds being changed and eyes being opened. Sheesh.

Oh, but it is “worthy” of him!
That is the kind of guy D-1 has always been.
Never post the truth when a lie will do the damage you want to do.
