Ted Cruz to meet with secretive conservative group in Cleveland
Politico ^ | July 12, 2016 | SHANE GOLDMACHER

CLEVELAND — Ted Cruz is making an extra trip to Cleveland to address a closed-door meeting of influential conservative leaders this Friday ahead of the Republican National Convention, according to four people familiar with his plans.

Cruz will speak to a gathering of the Council for National Policy, a secretive group of conservative activists, many of whom backed the Texas senator in his failed presidential bid earlier this year.

The Council for National Policy is a nonprofit but some of its members, including CNP President Tony Perkins, who also serves as head of the Family Research Council, are part of a subgroup that had voted to endorse Cruz in hopes of uniting the conservative movement behind a single candidate in 2016, rather than splintering as it had in 2008 and 2012.

The poor little boy cannot live out loud like Trump, and instead, he needs secret shadowy orgs that operate in the same spirit as globalist soros.

What a maroon.

Jeb Bush: I can’t vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, ‘and it breaks my heart’
Washington Times ^ | July 11, 2016 | David Sherfinski

EXCERPT

“A lot of the governors, I would have been very comfortable with,” Mr. Bush said. “John Kasich I thought ran a great campaign, and [Marco] Rubio, [Ted] Cruz. There are a lot of people. The bar’s not that high for me. I’m not suggesting that you have to be a perfect candidate.”

That bastard is going to try to commandeer the delegates at the Republican convention. He’s going to go rogue during his speech. I can feel it.

Politico is a neo-Nazi propaganda site. Its sole purpose is to spread lies, demoralize Americans and cheer for their fellow Nazis and racists.

It’s not much of a secret if everyone seems to know about it.

"Ted Cruz is making an extra trip to Cleveland..."

I'd think that cheating Cruz would be on another trip to see the 5 whores he diddles!
