I care less about this and more about the fact that Cruz is ready to join forces with the President we all know only wants to hurt and destroy our country.

I am one of the millions that feel completely betrayed by Cruz’s illogical partnership with Obama against many conservatives. Look at where we are. Cruz is arguing and acting for Obama and against a great conservative like Jeff Sessions. Everything is now opposite.

His betrayal and illogical behavior is the reason articles and questions like this will appear more and more. Because Cruz’s vote and then his championing of weakening Congress to Obama’s benefit is SO INEXPLICABLE.

Anybody is still welcome for argue for Cruz, but I am one of the folks that not only believed in him, but donated to his campaign. Now I am left angry and only happy that I saw Cruz is yet another politician that would also do the opposite of what they believe in before I wasted a vote on him.

On my scorecard now he is not much better than the likes of McCain, Romney, Rubio, Jeb, and unfortunately Walker who also is willing to give Obama increased power to hurt our country in the TPA as well.

I’m tired of being angry about Cruz. I am now just disappointed and feel so betrayed.

TPA is NOT a SINGLE ISSUE. The parts of the TPP that have already been leaked out show the council created by TPP will be allowed to rule on immigration, possession of firearms, and even labor law. The TPP, which the TPA makes very easy to shove down our throat, makes that governing body that can then do anything else it wants including completely re-writing even the founding document of the TPP. Everyone in the Union will only have one equal vote and once we are in Congress has no recourse.

Although it is true they couldn’t actually re-write our law in the US. But there has always been a fine mechanism in such agreements and I am sure with Obama negotiating for us there will be a tool created to hurt us badly if we do not COMPLY.

I could go on even more, but suffice it to say there are now millions of people that wanted to eagerly support and believe in Cruz. Now we are left feeling betrayed by him like we have been by so many other politicians. His behavior and willingness to do the inexplicable has made us move on in our search for a worthy candidate.

I am tired of politicians betraying me and I WILL TAKE NO MORE. The path of “he’s the best we have” is not only false, but insulting. This is a nation of 320 million people. I do not have to choose my next President out of a handful of people. The election is over 16 months away and the first primaries are 8 months away. That same path has also given us candidates that conservatives are not excited about and our Presidential election turnout has been terrible.

Cruz has done many things that are admirable too, but I don’t have to agree with a nominee on every issue. The problem I have is Cruz’s betrayal. He told us he is so principled and Obama cannot be trusted, and then inexplicably voted and championed for the opposite. Disagreeing on issues is one thing, but betrayal is a disqualifier because you never know when a person like that will act against you again.

It would totally be different for me if Cruz from the beginning made statements he would support something like this and then did it. But this came out of nowhere and teaming with Obama is the act of a Fool. That is Betrayal and not a disagreement.

I will vote for a candidate that I find I mostly agree with, as long as I can believe in their overall guiding principles.

This whole TPA has taken away my trust in Cruz and I will NEVER vote for someone I cannot trust. I will more gladly vote for someone I do not agree with on everything, but whom I trust.

So nominating someone that has clearly acted against what is good for our nation like Cruz will just ensure another democrat becomes the next President. If you are OK with that then fine. Everybody has their vote and we have all watched this play out 2 elections in a row. Cruz will be no different if he is our next nominee.

The House just voted to remove the requirement that beef have the country of origin on the label. You will now not know where your food comes from unless you raise it yourself and that will very soon be against the law.
