Congressman Alex Mooney Endorses Ted Cruz for President
Cruz News ^ | January 12, 2016

HOUSTON, Texas - Today, Congressman Alex Mooney of West Virginia endorsed Ted Cruz for President. Mooney will become Cruz for President’s West Virginia Chairman. He is one of the new conservatives in the House of Representatives who are changing Washington and fighting the status quo.

“I am proud to endorse Ted Cruz for President. Senator Cruz’s father, Rafael, visited West Virginia to discuss how he fled communist Cuba to live in freedom in America just as my mother did,” said Rep. Mooney. “I have had the pleasure of visiting with Senator Cruz on several occasions to discuss the shared conservative policies for which we are fighting in Congress. Moreover, Senator Cruz has proven by his actions that he will stand firm in defense of the freedoms and traditional Judeo-Christian values which we cherish, even when under great pressure. Senator Cruz is the best conservative choice to continue our fight as President of the United States.”

"Alex is part of the new generation of leaders who will fight for our conservative values," said Cruz. "I deeply appreciate Alex's support because we need leaders like him to stand up to Washington and fight for real change."

That’s adorable. You’re criticizing an endorsement from a newbie congressman while supporting a guy with zero experience.

To put it another way - The GOPe looks upon Senator Ted Cruz as being a “snitch.”

Sad to say but with a Cruz presidency, I could see the a-holes in both houses try and undermine him.

True!! The reason the DC OUTSIDER is doing so well is because he’s NOT a politician....so, having a politician endorse another politician doesn’t hold much value to We the People. It’s what we’re sick and tired of, actually.

I look at Congress as no different than the mafia - they are all a bunch of ruthless psychopaths. The Congress is a cesspool, and the only thing that ever wants to be in or remain inside of a cesspool is a turd. Now, being that most Congress critters are no different then Mafioso in their dealings, they would rather put a garoit around Cruz’z throat because he’s “in the Family” - and he betrayed “the Family” when he ratted out their “Don” - Mitch McConnel ...

On the other hand, Donald Trump is the “other family” trying to muscle in on their turf, their empire ... So, they will first take out Cruz for his disloyalty, so to make “an example” ... Then they will send out all their soldiers to “rub out the competition.” Capeesh?

So if Trump is President in 2018 you don’t want him endorsing any Congressmen or Senators running for re-election? Because that would be a politician endorsing a politician.

Both McCain and McConnell despise Cruz with every fiber of their existence ... Yet they would suddenly endorse Cruz for president - and the concomitant defacto head of the Party establishment machine. Really? I have serious doubts.

The fact is that Cruz is hated by the establishment GOPe - and endorsements given from any in their rank should peg the BS meter full tilt.


What you miss is they despise Cruz because he is using them as props in his beltway theater performances.

Trump has enormous experience, except taking campaign bribes.
