Ted Cruz is pursuing a different strategy in dealing with The Donald, compared to the Republican Establishment and the RINO’s in the race for the Republican nomination.
The “Eleventh Commandment” (Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican) is sort of in operation here, and Ted Cruz does not need the publicity nearly as much as some of the other “also-rans” that probably will not get into the August 6th debate. Besides, I think that something about The Donald’s “take no prisoners” approach sort of appeals to Cruz, who is himself a bit of an iconoclast and a bomb thrower, when the situation suits him.
Krauthammer and Brit Hume, what can I say but la la la la...la la la la...hey hey...goodbye
Et tu, Britt?
Election night 2000, Brit said, “Florida has gone for Gore. We are calling Florida for Gore. Trust us. We know what we’re talking about.” He called it on the air before polls were closed in the Mountain Time Zone and on the West Coast. He lost credibility with me then. Never regained it.
Aaaa, Hume is a Jeb noser. If Jeb stops walking too
quick all you see is Humes feet sticking out of his culo.
It was hypocritical unless Cruz hangs his hat on that McConnell deliberately lied to him. Cruz should say “I will never speak bad of another Republic, but unfortunately McConnell is not a Republican, he’s a RINO!”
We were still buttoning up the polls in our TX county that night, and I missed that memorable moment from Know-It-All Hume. That’s rather like Shep reporting about cannabalism in the Super Bowl during Katrina. When Ailes didn’t fire him, it seemed obvious that credibiity doesn’t rank high on Ailes’ job requirements.
They prefer the comfort of lies to the discomfort of truth.
Ted Cruz Ping! Hume, Trump hasn’t won a seat in Congress by running on a conservative platform, knowing he was flat-out lying, and proceeding to prove that he was lying, with no shame, by supporting Hussein’s agenda more consistently than the ‘rats could have done once he won. That’s what McConnell did.
I had no idea that Trump had lied to Ted, as Mitch did. Bob
Really, I didn’t know that. I knew anyway that he’s a GOPe shill, that is reinforcement.
McConnell didn’t just lie to Cruz, McConnell flat lied in his campaign when he ran saying he’d oppose CommieCare and fight for the conservative agenda, then when he got the cotes, going back to DC and doing everything Harry Reid would have done. I consider that much more egregious. Cruz is speaking on the betrayed voters’ behalf.
They’ll be the toast of the town all over DC.
Did they discuss whether the liar charge was TRUE
Bet not
FReep them and their running dogs!
Exactly right. Cruz won’t play the got’cha game of the media, and now they’re PO’d. Does anyone really care what Cruz thinks about Trump? Each man is running his own campaign.
One defining feature of the Cruz candidacy has been his refusal to attack the vast majority of republican candidates for the White House. He has welcomed each of them to the race politely, and I have been impressed with that approach. Once he is elected, he will need to work with them.
Note: I am a little concerned that Cruz isn’t trying for a better relationship even with the RINOs, since he will need them too, but I hope he will be able to fix that once he takes the Oath of Office on January 20, 2017.
