Actually, from the article I just posted the link to, Cruz started the Senate Conservatives Fund to help undo the damage of the NRSCC supporting the RINO’s. As one person he could not stop the others from making their choices, but he did resign and he did start fundraising to oppose what the others had decided to do - and it burned his bridges with a lot of establishment people, which is a courageous thing. This isn’t the only time he’s taken a stand against the establishment, which is why he is hated by so many of them.
I love it that Trump remembers Mississippi! I think he is saying so many things that have needed to be said. I would vote for him in a heartbeat. What I really, really despise is “politics” - “my guy or the highway”. You can interpret Cruz’s actions however you like, but I think you’re reading him wrong. And a lot of the people bashing Trump are reading him wrong. It’s like the blood sport of “politics” brings out the very, very worst in people. I hate that.
I don’t know whether what you’ve said is true or not - if he was totally silent when the others chose to cheat for Cochran. I do see the visible actions he took and do see that the “establishment” has punished him for SOMETHING. Were you there at those private meetings, to know what Cruz did or didn’t say/do?
I believe Cruz should have revealed the corruption while there was still time ...IOW before the election was over. I feel he is far too protective of his own skin. My opinion.
I was once a Cruz supporter, but several wrong steps (at least I consider them that) drove me away. I was very happy to see Trump get in the mix because I have watched him for years and like his style. He doesn’t beat around the bush. He simply tells it like it is and I like the direct approach. Have known too many slick tongued politicians.
