No I don’t believe that everyone is. He is friendly with them as is his wife. On immigration, I don’t think Ted can be trusted.
I think there are a lot of people who support Cruz in good faith. Others, like the financial services industry, are looking out for #1 instead of the country.
I have been one often enough -- I supported Dubya in good faith and he not only failed me, he pretty much defied me. I flat out refused to vote for Romney -- it would have been as nuts as voting for Obama.
As for those who are looking out for #1 instead of the country, up until 2011 at least, Donald Trump donated more than a million to the races of political candidates in both parties, favoring Democrats 54 to 46, according to this MSM story before Trump had become a seemingly committed politician.
In other words, "the cost of doing business" required him to give financial support to politicians who bring on more tyrannical government. Sure, his money helped Harry Reid and Terry McAuliffe -- but he gained financially from it. The cost of doing business.
I hope Cruz really is what he says he is; in the Senate, he's stood his ground often enough. Also, he is more "politically incorrect" than Trump by a huge margin, and I like that. Trump defends the 2A as being for self defense, a politically correct stance. Cruz defends the 2A as a "fundamental check on tyrannical government." That is as politically incorrect as it gets. It is also the greatest value of the 2A.
I know the home town of Heidi pretty well. Uggghhh. A town for little old ladies in tennis shoes, the original "community organizers."
