Before Ted Cruz framed his presidential campaign as a crusade against the Washington “cartel,” he engaged in a series of skirmishes with fellow Republicans, in particular Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky....

Cruz mother married an English man, moved to England and became an citizen of the UK.
***************
Her first husband Alan Wilson was born in Ft. Worth Tx and graduated high school in
Dallas in 1945. Wilson and Cruz’s mom got married in 1956 and moved to England in 1960.
Question: I’ve looked but can find where Cruz’s mom became a English citizen. Have
you seen anything so stating?
I don’t think Cruz will ‘cozy up’ to Trump. And Trump will never trust him, along with millions of other Americans. He proclaims one thing and then votes uniparty. He will try and undermine Trump every chance that he gets to further his own political career. He is a polarizing figure that would never be nominated or approved for scotus.
Instead of Put America First,
-Rafael is Put Ted Cruz First.
I heard someone interviewing McConnell yesterday. He really didn’t have much of anything good to say about Trump, but just said that we can’t allow Hillary to become president because of the SCOTUS appointments she would probably make.
Agree. I liked things the way they were. Ted Kennedy, LBJ and that bunch plus their party has changed where our immigrants come from plus the laws redone by the libs allowed people we have no idea of their true loyalties to have jobs with access to sensitive data and even classified docs that they should not have.
He and his wife are the same money grubbers like Hillary.
Yes, but by staying in the race for so long, he walks away with close to TEN MILLION DOLLARS in the coffers. The money was dumped in just prior to his withdrawal, how interesting is that. They try and hush it, but it’s all traceable. Cruz can use that $$ for his senatorial campaign. Not sure if he can hold onto for a 2020 potus run.
Yes, there was a thread on it 6 or 8 weeks ago. I’ll see if I can find it.
That is a good point. He may not be the real one whose responsible for the scheming.
He has his highly unethical campaign manager coupled with OPP- Our Principles PAC NeverTRump group (Katie Packer- Romneyite).
OPP’s sole mission was to wrangle, pay, convince, entice, ... Delegates to vote for Ted Cruz. They spent at least 10 or maybe it was 16 MILLION dollars doing this.
We need to give credit where credit is due, OPP’s millions of dollars.
Yours is an obvious weak pathetic rebuttal. There’s no click bait; just an AP article picked up by the Dallas paper.
All the writer did was report on McConnell ridiculing Cruz. He poses the same questions every one else is wondering. Where does Cruz go from this point forward? Choices exist.
1. Support the nominee as promised and stay quiet or campaign actively.
2. Work together with fellow Senators and put aside animosity.
3. Cling to his faux-outsider status and continue to campaign for himself and ignore his obligations to Texas and to the Senate.
4. Do everything he can to undermine Trump, promote Hillary and hope that Trump’s defeated so he has a chance to run in 2020.
So far he’s taken a Mexican vacation following an extended unearned absence from the Senate. Cruz needs too pick up the pace.
“Mitch knows all about Ted and that’s why he wouldn’t pass a Senate resolution to (supposedly) declare him a Natural Born Citizen. So he has done at least one thing right in his time as majority leader.”
And that is an accomplishment. McConnell laughed and said, NO WAY.
Thank God Cruz was knocked out. The DNC would have waited until it was to late to replace him and had Cruz disqualified. Hillary would have been running unopposed.

Hard to argue with that...
ROTFLMAO! "ban on conserrvatie opinion"?
Trump's and Cruz's policy positions overlap to a huge degree. Of Course, with Cruz's non-conservative support for things like TPA for 0bama (and TPP, until Cruz "evolved"), not to mention the Corker Bill, Trump can plausibly lay claim to being more conservative than Cruz.
The only "ban" is on clumsy Cruz fanboy/Trump-hater (but I repeat myself) propaganda that helps Hillary Clinton, so feel free to continue self-censoring on that front, because that's the only thing that can render your opinion "moot".
So who will you be voting for in November?
Vote Trump!
Thanks but don’t look. I just thought you may know off hand.
Yes amazing that they can’t use Jesus’ word to judge the Cruz thing. By their fruits ye shall know them is a very useful tool.
Who is Trump supposed to make deals with?
Last time I checked, Trump can't simultaneously run for President as well as every seat in the Senate and House.
So, yeah, Trump will have to "deal" with the hand he's been dealt in the Legislature. It's not rocket science to understand that.
Just make sure you get to the polls in November and help elect the GOP Presidential nominee, because he would like to include the "bitter Cruz fanboy" demographic in his winning coalition.
Vote Trump!
225 years and 44 presidents born on American soil - why do we need to amend the constitution for ted?
Why is the son of a Cuban exile who retained his Cuban citizenship for 30 years then became a Canadian for 35 years suddenly so allegiant to the USA?
His mother spent nearly all of her adult life living abroad until Ted was five years old. She was a British resident (citizen?) for 6+ years and Canadian resident for another 8+ years, becoming a Canadian in the early 1970’s.
His father admits to becoming a Canadian, his mother ain’t talking and all records are conveniently sealed. And you may note that it took about 18 months for Ted to renounce his Canadian citizenship (seal the parents records), rather than the normal two weeks.
He is ineligible every which way and a true noble faux-conservative for lying and omitting very important facts about his life.
If anyone’s behavior models DU and circumventing the rule of law- it’s him, Cruz. <- He demonstrates classic rat-lib-behavior.
The argument would go something like this:
If the courts have been taken over by the Left, then what's in it for them to rule in Cruz's favor? Why not just eliminate him outright?
The responses to that argument are: 1) the liberal courts would rather have Cruz with a cloud of doubt over him as a "dead candidate running" to split the vote, and 2) the liberal courts would rather NOT have a settled precedent on the NBC issue because they anticipate needing it to be ambiguous in the future for their own purposes.
So Cruz gets a pass legally, if not in the court of public opinion that would have done him in eventually. I frequently posted the obvious campaign ad question: would you rather have a President born from no citizen parents (Rubio, Jindal), one citizen parent (Cruz), or two citizen parents (Trump/Clinton/Sanders)? How do you think the public would answer that question?

Well there is something that you can do.
Your good at letting people know just how big a fool you are."
Works in both directions.
I don’t care what deals he makes with them because Trump’s deals result in VICTORY, while traditional GOPe deals result in defeat.
Try again.
