Another way of looking at it is that Cruz is doing exactly what GWB did - not fighting back and we all complained for 8 years about this. So, maybe, it’s time Cruz fought back a little - I don’t think Mr. Nice Guy can win like this.
“Catsrus”? Come on George W., you can come up with a better name.
Ummmmm..No.
No one has attacked Obama more effectively or consistently.than Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz is just.pulling.his.punches in.attacking .fellow GOP candidates for.now.
I don't think you are paying attention. Cruz has been quite willing to attack - the difference is who he chooses to attack. While Trump and most of the other candidates choose to attack the other Republican candidates, Cruz attacks the Dems and the GOP Washington establishment. Ted is smart and disciplined, and unlike Jeb, he doesn't let what other people are saying get him off message.
What are you talking about? ...not fighting back.
Ted Cruz & Mike Lee are the only two every fighting back against GOPe leadership.
You are correct that we cannot have another leader who refuses to fight back, but you also you don’t have to participate in every fight you are invited to. Trump is doing the heavy lifting against the Bushes so that message is getting out there. Acting like a Statesman in this case while others are throwing mud is in my opinion, the correct tact to take.
If you look at Ted’s record of taking on the UniParty in Congress, fighting back will not be a problem for him when the time, and the issue, are correct.
Strawman.
The one huge, and most important difference. Bush didn’t fight back against Liberals/Democrats, Cruz is simply following RR advice and following the 11th commandment.
Specious comparisons like that make Trumpophiles look foolish.
Cruz is taking the higher road and winning because of it. My only advise to Cruz is to respond by heaping praise on W, wherever he can find it.
