On Saturday at South Carolina Republican Party’s annual convention, Sen.

as usual, no one said any of the crap that you’re being hysterical about. no one said “pandering”, and no one is being dishonest. and, certainly, no one made a “slur”, for heaven’s sake.
you’re just not doing Ted Cruz any good this way.
