That was a very good read, what you said. You identified my own experience with supporting Ted and what went wrong.
Now my stunned self sees that it has recently come to my attention that when Cruz dropped off the radar in 2014, conveniently during those Republican senatorial races, that he was not only serving on the NRSC, but Cruz also gave $250,000.00 to McConnell and the NRSC, at the same time the Mississippi Treatment was employed against Matt Bevin, who was leading that race.
Gob smacked works here.
Not a finger was lifted to assist another soul, by Ted Cruz, who was ingratiating himself during that election cycle to McConnell and the boys, who were pulling off that dirty tricks operation in Mississippi with the help of the Barbour machine and the duped black Democrats, their radio stations and neighborhood flyer system to bury Bevin in smears and lies.
Remember how hot we ALL were, then? I had no idea Ted’s disappearance from that battlefield was about his own damn redemption, after alienating the entire US Senate for reading his green eggs and ham filibuster.
Ted has been showy, but yikes, we’re batting at zero on his accomplishment.
his vaunted position hid him on ithe failed to offer vocal support, financial support or even moral support to candidates like Bevin, in MS, who was leading in that race.
a single conservative running in those 2014 races
You did your homework well. Thanks for some info that I was not aware of. I wrote Cruz off when I realized he was for amnesty, no deportations, and a 500% increase in the evil H-1B SCAM. We can get this from Reid or McConnell : )
