The Cubanadian has burned his last bridge while standing on it, he has no political career.
seems Mr. Cruz’ mouth wrote a ticket that his ass is going to have to pay.
IMO. couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Robert Mercer wasted $11 million.
Ted’s flameout has been astounding. This guy flushed his entire career in a matter of 3 months. As is so often revealed, some of the smartest people are really some of the dumbest. As Don Jr. Said, he received his training from ppl with PhD’s in common sense.
It seems highly unlikely that he’d speak publicly about this now—without having spoken privately to Cruz before Cruz’s immolation.
Sheldon Adelson locked him out of his sky box.
The Texas delegation publicly chastised him.
Big money donors Bill Mercer and his daughter slammed him in the NYT.
Now lets see what the Wilkes brothers say/do.
Wikileaks also uncovered exchanging of emails with Ted and the DNC wanting their help. He’ll be lucky to still be in politics by 2020.
Ted was so smarmy. Starting with the story of the murdered police officers little daughter. His attempts at emotional manipulation were transparent and cringe worthy.
He proved himself emotionally immature, unable to squelch his personal ambition while using his wife and father as props also.
I imagine the moment that might have been. Ted teases then endorses Trump...thunderous applause, smiling cheering party atmosphere. Unity and joy would prevail.
Instead he choose to be the ultimate buzz kill.
Cruz believes in open borders and amnesty. He wants Hillary to win. Its time that legal immigration was limited to mostly whites or we will continue to see balkanization and racial politics at full bore. It seems a lot of the top people are seeing the problems and want a change for the better now.
Good post - one of the comments is TERRIFIC:

I watched “Clinton Cash” this weekend and also “Hillary’s America”, the movie by Dinesh d’Souza. Books are great, such as Schweitzer’s which the ‘Cash’ movie is abt, but people are much more inclined to watch a movie than buy a book and invest the time to read it–sad, but that’s the reality.
It is way past time for Levin, Beck, Erickson, et al, to make a clear choice: either support the Republican ticket of Trump/Pence and be very strong abt it, get behind their mikes and start advocating for these two movies, OR, state their solidarity behind Clinton and be very strong abt it. Choose your army, ladies and gentlemen, because we’re engaged in war from now till November. After that, the Trump militia will need to leave troops in place to maintain the peace but those battles will be fought as well in the court of public opinion, too, as they break out.
These sniveling, back biting, Cruz hangers on are now unpatriotic and I don’t have to have some ‘yuge’ Ivy League pedigree in Constitutional law and super human word smithing abilities in political science to make that claim. The primaries are over. Get over it. You are with America or you are not. America is turned off by Ted Cruz. He’s a smart guy and he has a possible future as a speech writer but he himself cannot deliver a speech anybody can stand to sit through!
Adversity, like sports, reveals character, it doesn’t build character. Ted Cruz got worse the longer the primary drug on. That young patriot in Indiana who quietly stood holding a Trump sign across the street from one of Ted’s little rallies on the day of their primary speaks for us all: Leave. You are not wanted here.
In my area there are people that call local talk radio and whine on and on abt how Trump has to earn their vote. No folks, you have to get over yourselves and pull the lever in November for America. This is our final chance. If it makes you feel better, take Trump out of this and make everything you say and do, including your vote, be strictly abt America. If you can’t get there, you aren’t loyal to your country which means you aren’t a patriot. Don’t for Trump if your high and mighty, perfect set of ethics and values prevent you from doing that, but for the love of your family and those coming after you, vote AMERICA! Don’t vote for Trump if you’re disillusioned into thinking that will give you some special position in Heaven, but vote AGAINST Hillary and FOR America!
The only way to quiet the dissenting, sour grapes voices such as Levin’s is to stop listening. Cancel TV subscriptions. Don’t buy books and don’t patronize their sponsors. That’s how the people’s voice is heard and that’s how results are achieved in a free market society. Those responses are what destroyed liberal talk radio. When America heard what they disagreed with, they walked away and radio shows were shut down.
During the primaries, Cruz campaigners frequently pushed the notion that he had been called. His family members had heard his call straight from God’s lips during visions and prayers. Beck, self-prophesied Nostradamus, took up the mantra. They heard the Lord tell them to use dirty tricks just prior to the IA caucus. Then it apparently was the Lord that inspired Cruz’ super pac to run with the photo attack on Mrs. Trump just prior to the Utah vote. Everything they did, good, bad or indifferent, they chalked up to being privileged to have direct conduit to God’s ear, and they alone had the number to His private line. No one else heard God’s voice. No one else was moved by the Holy Spirit. Not one. Just them. In retrospect, we know that the Lord brings the haughty into account.
Cruz was unfit to be president, in my mind, for a number of reasons but a couple hold first and second place rankings. First runner up: Cruz claims now he didn’t endorse Trump because of his sacred vow to his wife to honor her. Reality is, Mrs. Cruz would be attacked most likely on a daily basis if her husband occupied the Oval Office. The bitter hate speech and vitriol of the Left has now passed the fever pitch mark. No one disagreeing with them is immune. Applying Cruz’ own philosophy on this, he’d shut down as president, unable to function due to his commitment to his marriage. As insults and rude remarks were made abt his First Lady, just as every other First Lady has been subjected to, Ted would be forced to resign, no matter what impact it had on the country and world. Cruz seems to have a disconnect abt his marriage vows and family loyalty. The Bible teaches that those that follow Christ will certainly be scorned and ridiculed. It comes with the Christian territory, but we are not to be deterred because the great reward of Heaven awaits if we remain faithful. A man can’t control what is said abt his family, he can only control his reaction. Endorsing Trump would not have been disloyalty to his family because the Christian sheds such petty disagreements and simply prays for the transgressor. Cruz has proven he can’t suffer criticism that should be meaningless. Mrs. Cruz apparently can’t move on otherwise she would have advised her husband to get over a silly photo of herself and get busy to save America–support the man standing in the gap between destruction of America and an America on the mend. If Donald Trump had thin skin, no ability to move on and forgive, he would not have chosen Pence. Instead, he would have harbored resentment that would have prevented clear discernment and good judgment, since Pence endorsed Cruz. Donald Trump realized petty differences took the backseat to sound judgment in America’s best interest.
#1 convincing reason Cruz thankfully is not our nominee: The day after Trump released his list of potential SCOTUS nominees, it was Mark Levin himself that stated Cruz did not want to be on that list because Cruz knows he could not survive the confirmation hearings during his nomination for the high court because his fellow senators would not vote to approve him! Levin, one of the most vocal and adamant Cruz supporters admitted Cruz couldn’t get a majority of 100 senators to approve him as a justice to the SCOTUS, so why did he ever think Cruz could get 51% of the vote for President! Levin admitted Cruz was unlikable and unelectable in that statement. That’s right, I said it.
Never Trumpers, have a lovely week supporting your ticket in Philadelphia. BTW, has anybody heard whether or not George Will has been chosen to offer the official nomination of Hillary on the convention floor? He definitely has the requisite qualifications.
Trump/Pence 2016. All day. Every day.
My guess is that even Heidi is sick of him after that stunt.
GO TRUMP!!!
“Here’s where it gets even more interesting. Mercer taking such an aggressive position also thwacks the financial teams behind all the pro-Cruz, anti-Trump web sites.
“If that ripple builds, and there’s no reason to think it won’t, Erick Erickson (Resurgent), Ben Shapiro (Daily Wire), NRO, the entire Salem Media Network (Human Event, Hot Air, Twitchy, Red State), and all the affiliated punditry (Hugh Hewitt, Jonah Goldberg) could be left high-and-dry.”
Love the sound of that, especially for that guy who thinks he’s so wonderful, Erick Erickson.
And now for Kasich.......Perhaps this Mercer article and Trump’s idea to create a super pac to challenge him in his next election will motivate him to get on board.
The establishment wanted to take Cruz out. They still want to take Mr. Trump out.
I hope he does not stray from his purpose and really knows who he can trust, because it is not many of the old guard GOPe establishment Republicans. They are hunkering down, but will be passive aggressive to thwart Trump’s policies and the building of the wall.
We still have two enemies, until their actions prove otherwise. Never their talk.
How a young, smooth talking, Canadian import could suddenly be fundamentally transformed into a Natural Born American Citizen(!) riding the Republican rails to the White House requires lots of emotion and even more $$$$.
But if you have lots of $$$$, then you can buy a few appropriately credentialed institutions and their ex-spurts, and also acquire enough of talk radio and other media to promote and ramp up the emotions, and then the rest will take care of itself.
It almost worked, too, but what is even more fascinating is that things have come apart so quickly.
A large part of me likes to see the way and speed that this episode in our Kabuki Theatre Political Show ended as yet another sign of the quickening (to borrow from Art Bell) events in the larger celestial picture.
From this perspective, I look for what is Heaven sent in our day to day world and wonder if it was young Ted's guardian angel(s) Heaven sent to help free him from the trap his ego got his soul caught in.
Young Felito Cruz and his ego were definitely caught up in something much larger than himself, and it was taking him down while he thought he was being lifted up.
But now, he is almost free from his folly, which I tend to see as a rescue and an example of God's healing Grace and Mercy.
Praise to the Most High God!
save for later.
