I think what the candidates should be doing is asking why Hitlery isn’t in jail never mind running for POTUS.
This angle is fruitless and brings into question just what a smart person like Ted Cruz is trying to do here. Is he just vocalizing what he’s telling his financial backers? Can’t he do that over the phone in private?
Ted is not going to get Donald’s supporters by telling them that their frontrunner is not going to be the nominee. Further, a number of GOPe have been parroting the same line as if it’s a GOPe talking point. Ted does not need to associate himself or his campaign with the hated GOPe.
Today Rush is trying to save Baby Cruz. If Cruz need everyday protection, how he can defeat Hillary?
So Ted admits it is Donald J Trump who is bringing the new folks to the party, but he wants us to dance with him instead of Donald Trump. Well what else is he going to say? This is about as far as Ted can go while he is still running, and still needing to raise money.
Sigh...Ted, your a good man but for this election cycle, we are done with politicians.
If Cruz said any differently, then he might as well suspend his campaign right now.
Ted,I don’t like your attitude....
....and NO I won’t vote for you.
They ain’t budgin’ Ted...hang in there, Trump doesn’t like quitters.
Obvious some commenters aren’t reading the excerpt (I can’t imagine actually clicking on anything by BuzzFeed Andrew).
The headline doesn’t match the excerpt.
Ted does not seem to understand that you earn supporters and
voters. They are not inherited.
PING...
Here’s my current thoughts.
America needs Trump as a CEO (POTUS) equally as America needs Cruz as his surrogate (VPOTUS).
I didn’t know Cruz liked Marijuana!
Pound sand, Ted
I cannot think of a single blue dog democrat, union worker, liberal professional, or ethnic group that will vote for you, nor will most women, just because you’re a smart wonk
Without trump, you lose
Trump grabs people’s sense of outrage at the establishment - you are the establishment to most people
This may be accurate or inaccurate, but it’s how Cruz reads the tea leaves.
It’s not some kind of attack, as the Trumpkins would make it out to be.
You’re gonna have to disavow amnesty and free trade if you want that, Ted.
Dear mr. Cruz,
By virtue of the title of “senator” in front of your name, you have been found as part and parcel of the Washington bacon-wrapped shrimp club, and therefore, attached to the problem called Congress, by your being seated in it, as is mr. Rubio.
No, mr. Cruz, to attempt to portray yourself as a Pied Piper luring those of us who support Mr. Trump to come follow you, is futile.
“I do not believe Donald is going to be the president. “
Sure he does. Cruz is at least as bright or brighter than me, Rush, BOR and Kraut. All of whom pretty much realized on Tuesday evening that Trump has closed the deal. He will be the nominee of the Republican Party and likely the next President of the United States. Even Vlad Putin has made that astute observation.
At this point Cruz is running for VP or AG. That’s going to be a good thing.
