Not attacking Trump helps Cruz when the Donald falters. (And he will falter at some point.)
I’m surprised Hume Doesn’t understand this.
That's not what Hume was talking about. He recognizes that Cruz is doing what's in his own interest. But he's saying that the principle Ted Cruz invoked to explain why he didn't go after Trump should have kept him from going after McConnell. He may be wrong about that, but to say that Ted was doing what's in Ted's best interest isn't a defense against a charge of hypocrisy. If anything, it supports Hume's charge.
GI back and watch teds speech again. Ted was explaining why he voted for TPA. McConnell lied to him multiple times to get that vote only to shank him when he brought up EX/IM bank reauthorization.
He wasn’t criticising him. He was explaining how he was skanked by the Majority Leader.
If I promise to love and honor my spouce till death due us part, then she runs off with an illegal criminal invader, taking ever dime out of our savings and checking accounts, takes cash advances to max out our CC and I file for divorce stating the reason have I violated my vows?
Mitch through any chance for expectation of honor or benefit of doubt when he lied to the Republican Caucus when he denied there was any deal on TPA/EX-IP Bank...3 times.
And when he said he would allow ALL members a chance to attach amendments to bills while Campaigning last year!
Brit and Charles need to by a box of tampons and wait a week to comment so their emotions don’t impair their thoughts.
