RE: The $hit he pulled in Iowa was just the first of many examples of a man who was willing to operate like the DemoRATs do to accomplish his personal goals

I do not want to debate pass things with you, but honestly, what happened in Iowa was started by CNN and did NOTHING to change the results then. Cruz apologized to Ben Carson for it ( and Carson had a role to play in that when he gave the impression that he was going back to Florida instead of campaigning in New Hampshire, the next state in the primaries ).

RE: . Then there’s the matter of his “citizenship” wherein he’s really no different than Obola.

1) Cruz cannot be blamed for the circumstances under which he was born.

2) The matter was litigated OPENLY in several states and every single court declared him eligible.

Good men from both sides of the aisle disagree on this issue. Why call Cruz a worthless turd for standing on the other side of the issue?

RE: And finally, there’s the business of where his wife works and her affiliation with the CFR.

Heidi is an international investment banker who was invited to be part of a working group at the Council on Foreign Relations which reviewed a notorious 2005 paper called “Building a North American Community” which was largely authored by Robert Pastor and is the presumed origin of the idea of the North American Union, though Pastor has repeatedly denied that it contains anything like that.

Although the proposals in the paper are a mild call for general hemispheric economic cooperation with no formal structure, the conspiracy-inclined have interpreted it as a sinister conspiracy to destroy American sovereignty and combine us into a single union with Canada and Mexico.

They are inherently suspicious of the Council on Foreign Relations, despite its repeated claims to be politically neutral and solely interested in studying issues objectively. It has become a lynchpin in globalist conspiracy theories and anything associated with it immediately looks more sinister in some eyes.

The paper is basically benign, pointing to ways that the nations of North America could work together through free markets and reducing trade barriers to spread more success and raise up the economies of the poorer countries.

In its concluding section it says:

“North America is different from other regions of the world and must find its own cooperative route forward. A new North American community should rely more on the market and less on bureaucracy, more on pragmatic solutions to shared problems than on grand schemes of confederation or union, such as those in Europe. We must maintain respect for each other’s national sovereignty.”

Which certainly doesn’t sound all that terrible, what with acknowledging how different North America is from Europe, promoting market solutions instead of government and explicitly rejecting the idea of a “confederation or union” while promoting respect for national sovereignty. It’s almost like the conspiracy theorists never read the document, or gave up after the title and wrote a fantasy version in their heads based solely on the title and their obsession with the CFR.

All the above complaints that you have against Cruz IGNORE his past record as a fighter for conservative causes in Texas where he defended our Second Amendment Rights in the courts as well as his being in the forefront to defund Oabmacare up to and including fighting to shut down the government to achieve it.

Your arguments above do nothing to convince me of his being a worthless turd.
