HOUSTON, Texas – Today, Congressman Tom McClintock of California endorsed Ted Cruz for President. McClintock has spent his time in Congress fighting for conservative principles like working to limit the size of the federal government, reign in Obama’s lawlessness, repealing Obamacare and protecting the Constitution.

“This election is too important to leave to chance,” said Rep. McClintock. “Ted Cruz is the only top tier candidate we can be absolutely certain will govern conservatively and constitutionally; who will stand his ground no matter what the pressure and articulate our positions boldly and convincingly to the American people. (snip)"

“Tom is an unwavering leader in working to reduce government spending, reign in our debt and work for conservative reforms,” said Cruz. “He has consistently fought against the Washington Cartel. (snip)"

“There, got it now?”

Unfortunately, no.

Cool.. one on one. You never answered the last question. On the Phil Robertson endorsement of Cruz

You asked me: Why is his opinion more important than yours, if it is the same? I answered.

My question was “Why would you care?” You failed to answer.

McClintock was very recently ripping on conservatives opposed to the Obama-GOPe agenda. I’m a bit surprised Cruz accepted his endorsement given that.

McClintock is GOPe. His ilk is what ruined the Republican party out here in Cali. He’s of the George Will mold.

I lived there when he was elected, unless he's done something I haven't heard about, he's as solid as it gets.

Used to live in his district (when it was Doolittle) and have friends that work for McClintock. Disappointed that he's been voting with Boehner/Ryan lately.

Most GOP voters, including those here FR, are all in for the NY liberal

Nope. Ted Cruz has comfortably won every single straw poll thread here at FR.

Yep. Doesn’t strike me as “principled conservatism” to be slumming with McClintock so soon after he quit the Freedom Caucus in a huff and took a dump on conservatives on his way out the door. He’s definitely one of those GOPers intent on redefining what conservatism is. Maybe Cruz is too? Birds of a feather and all that...

I’m here to support the destruction of the DC cabal, I don’t care who does it whether it be Trump or Cruz.
I get sick of the zealots on both sides who have nothing better to do then deride the other guy rather then have discussions.

Thank you! This is exactly how I feel! So tired of all the animosity!

Yup. Poor Ann. Pity she lost her mind long ago. Used to be a contender.

Thanks....I knew there was a kerfuffle about him recently but couldn't remember what it was.

Shame, he used to be a pretty solid rep.

I’ve always liked him and remember when the CA GOPe tried to run him off. I have been surprised that he’s been voting with the ‘go-along’ crowd.

Trump: I built my business with te $20+ million from my criminal slumlord father. Eisenhower specifically called out Fred Trump for cheating the government out of $ in his business. He actually stole money,

debate.
