Friday at the Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce in Irving, TX, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said some President Donald Trump political problems were “self-inflicted.”

Cruz said, “What I’m trying to do is just ignore the circus.”

“I’m not sure even Donald Trump would agree with all three of the points you’ve posted as “Trump’s problems” and “the nation’s problems.”

Point well taken.

Much as I’d love to hear Trump invoke the founding principles and speak like a constitutional scholar, I doubt I ever will. He’d more likely say something like “they don’t want me to drain the swamp” or hopefully, “you’re fired!”

And you know what? That’s OK with me.

Cite examples.

Trump’s only problem, in fact, are these:

1. The Lying Fake Media

2. Dems

3. Most or many Repukes

4. Idiots who don’t get it and/or are concern trolls, obviously are believing the lies of the above 1, 2 and 3.

> Trump’s current problems are about 90 percent self-inflicted. I’ve said all along that his staff needs to take his phone away and get him off twitter. But that’s now clearly not enough. They need to duct tape his mouth shut.

You’re so full of crap. The media and the deep state are wagging a war of fake news against Trump and your blaming him? If you’re part of an army you’d be considered more dangerous to your own side than the enemy.

I certainly don’t hate Cruz. I wish he could say the same about Trump.

100% of Cruz repellence is self-enabled.

If you’ve ever been more wrong about anything in your life than you are in this comment, it must have been a world record.

IMO, ALL of Ted Cruz’s damage in the last election was “self-inflicted”.

Remarkably — Ted Cruz has learned nothing and keeps diminishing himself.

I don’t know why anyone would give Cruz any grief over this statement. Like it or not, he’s right about this.


Why? Because what Ted is doing id called PILING ON—and that is the last thing people who actually support him should be doing.

I agree with you.

Here’s almost an exact word-for-word prediction I made about Trump a number of times shortly after he won the election in 2016:

The BEST thing about Trump in the White House is that he’ll conduct himself as if he’s a professional wrestling promoter.

The WORST thing about Trump in the White House is that he’ll conduct himself as if he’s a professional wrestling promoter.”


Nice comment there, and you made it numerous times after the election, and now...Why would you even put this up then or now??

YOU are PILING ON with the media, DEMS and GOP elites... You do know DU reads FR, and they really enjoy this type of post.

Do you really think this helps or advances anything???

No concern, no questions, no helpful suggestions or even constructive criticism...just some sort of “I told you so.”

Were/are you a #NeverTrumper?

I wish our guys would rally around Trump with enthusiasm. Leave criticism for closed doors.


Exactly! DEMS never ever criticize in public. Yet our GOPe and a number of dependably critical Freepers are doing it even on this thread!

What are you talking about? Cruz is trying to get Obamacare 2.1 improved and passed through the Senate.

Nevertrumpers need to be purged. They cause more damage to our side and they serve the left.

That post is too stupid to merit more of a reply than it’s getting.

I'm not "piling on" in any way. Personally, I think Trump enjoys all the sh!t that is being dumped on him.

I was never a "#NeverTrumper" at all. I was not an early supporter of his in 2015 and the first few months of 2016, but that was because it took a long time for me to be convinced that he even wanted the job and wasn't just doing this as a publicity stunt.

I really warmed up to him after he began winning a few primaries and launching into a very effective strategy of belittling all of his RINO opponents.
