George Will: Ted Cruz Is ‘Completely Indifferent To The Fact That Politics Is A Team Sport’ [VIDEO]
DailyCaller ^ | 15 DEC 14 | Al Weaver

Posted on 12/15/2014 9:13:44 PM PST by South40

One day after saying Elizabeth Warren and Ted Cruz had no idea “what they were trying to accomplish,” syndicated columnist George Will said Monday on “Special Report” the pair have two “exceedingly strange careers underway.”

Will told Fox News’ Doug McKelway that Cruz is “indifferent” to politics being a “team sport,” adding further that there hasn’t been “a more peculiar career” in the Senate than the one Cruz is currently enjoying.

The conservative columnist also said while Democrats are “bemused” by his antics, he is “loathed” within the GOP caucus, while also telling McKelway if Cruz doesn’t get the GOP nomination in 2016, assuming he runs for it, his return to Washington will be “awkward.”

"Loathed within the GOP caucus"? That means he is doing something right.

Yeah, but the problem is the rest of the U.S. seems not to be on the ‘team’.

Maybe that college banned Will from speaking just because he is a massive MORON

A team sport played by one team. Yeah right, Mr. Won’t.

Real Americans have another name for that: a one-party state. That is totalitarianism, Mr. Won’t.

No he isn’t. He just considers we the people as part of his team.

Sounds too much like Stalin’s notion of anti-Stalinism = mental illness.

George, the team is the people.

It is not a sport, it is life.

It is not power, it is principle.

George, you are upset that he is a threat to you and your kind, who stand to lose power to the will of the people.

Go count your money, for you cannot count your principles.

Actually, Cruz is the only team member (We the people team) standing tall. The GOPe is playing for the other side.

After everyone dumps on Will, watch, he’s going to start talking about baseball a whole lot, later.

He does that to try and shore up his Americana chops.

That guy is SUCH a Northeastern, tweedy, elbow-patched, crayola-wearing TWERP.

He’s male Peggy Noonan, basically.

So he’s pissed of George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Jennifer Rubin and the Vichy Republicans? Sounds good to me!

Old George “Go along to get along” Will; he’s everything that is wrong about the Ruling Elite that is leading our nation and people to ruin.

I refuse to read or listen to anything by RINOs. That’s why the likes of Bill O’Reilly and George Will are irrelevant to me. If it’s not backed by Free Republic, it’s not factual. Yes, things are as unambiguous as that.

I guess that's a nice line that sounds good on its surface however - when the team decides to lay down its up to the captain to motivate the team to fight and win.

Plus - if Will is referring to the RAT's as well - why is it that its only the Pub's that are expected to play nice?
