Cruz beating Trump makes liberals happy?
Swell.
Just what I want.
:-\
Oh man, the Daily Beast can’t see beyond their own prejudices.
Nonsense. Either Trump or Cruz would thrash Hillary in the election. I think the left is underestimating the tenacity of Ted Cruz. They’ll do their usual hit pieces and smear jobs as Cruz continues his rise in the polls, but he knows how to hit back at them. In a debate where it’s just he and Hillary Ted will crush that programmed robot into the ground.
Consider The Source...
Daily Beast one of the minions of the progressive liberal democrat/rino communist uni-party, they would just as soon have every republican candidate dead.
The Iowa caucuses is basically a GOPe vision of how all elections should be held: Lots of hype. Lots of participation. Lots of media attention. The bosses decide the actual winners some months later based on the "advisory" vote from the beauty contest, subsequent events and mostly their own preferences.
Beware of what you want, Beast... you just might get it.
GAG a maggot. Cruz was Cruz with his views long ago. The whiny baby has fluctuating views on everything all the time. As Sabot said, there will be tons of stuff to use for negative Trump ads.
Because Cruz is so damn smart I think he can thread the needle and win this thing
But the Uniparty does not care they will be perfectly happy with anyone other then Trump. Hillary, Cruz, Rubio, Jeb are all acceptable to the globalist ruling class. Only Trump threatened their gravy train. Only Trump is not owned by billionaire donors, Chamber of Commence, Club for Growth, and the Wall St bankers. The rest not so much.
Note the use of the word “neo-fascist”
This seems to be the emerging, coordinated meme coming from the left.
But Cruz hasn't attacked anyone from the beginning of the race and he has fought the good fight for the entirety of his career.
Cruz* grand plan has always been to emerge as the Conservative Candidate against the Establishment Candidate. But it looks like Cruz will emerge as the Conservative Candidate against the Conservative/Populist Candidate.
Let's face it folks. This isn't just the best possible scenario, but it far exceeds all of our hopes going into this primary season.
While they can't stand either Trump or Cruz, they know that Trump has cross-over appeal and currently has the potential support of many in their party.
Cruz, otoh, is completely and thoroughly despised. They can and do call him every negative label they can think of and all such labels are accepted without question.
That's not a universal truth for them with Trump like it is with Cruz.
Plus, Cruz was born in Canada to a Cuban father. While anchor baby citizenship is a given in that camp, it's going to be hard for them to "officially" accept born in Canada Cruz as a natural born American until after the election.
For the higher ups, the best part here is that Conservatives running Cruz for President means the end of the NBC debate forever and opens the door to all sorts of future Presidential possibilities.
If you like obama's fundamental transformation, stay tuned!
Win or lose, Cruz is a winner for the demonrat party and for the GOPe.
Just like with Reagan's efforts, "they" can undo anything a President Cruz might do, too, but once the Constitution has been rewritten with the Republican's "Cruz for President" candidacy, it won't ever be undone and the conservatives rewrote it for them!
Impressive. Didn't see that comin'...
Depending on how Cruz and Trump treat each other we will see what kind of deal they have going.
Trump/Cruz have some kind of deal going. Don’t know what it is but they do. We will see how they treat each other.
If in the end they do a tag team and they end up working together they will be unbeatable and like the strongest steel there is.
I’m waiting to watch how these two treat each other which will reveal their real plans. Remember Trump is very unpredictable for the better.
This arrogant prick wouldn't need a double tap, wouldn't even make good target practice. But since I do doubles from reflex action, I guess it would just have to be, waste, waste, waste.
Cruz is just being himself. I see no change in him from two years ago. He is not trying to be Trump.
Journalists have to write to stay employed, but some of the tripe they produce is unpalatable.
The guy is right on one thing:
“They’d (GOP Congress) actually prefer Hillary. Now no one’s ever going to say that publicly of course. But half a lifetime of covering these people has taught me a few things about how they think. And one of those things is this: Intraparty personal hatred is much more visceral than inter party personal hatred. The prospect of someone they hate in their own party having more power than they have is like the bitterest, foulest bowl of hemlock these people can drink. Trust me on that.”
