It's well known that many Republicans in Washington do not like Sen. Ted Cruz, but the full extent of that antipathy is coming to light this week as several current and former lawmakers say they prefer Donald Trump as the GOP nominee, although they have little regard for either man.
Some GOP consultants and strategists started the rumblings in recent days. Then Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad told Republicans in his state to oppose Cruz because of the senator's opposition to ethanol subsidies.
But the story broke wide open on Wednesday when former Senate Majority Leader and 1996 Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole said he would choose Trump over Cruz, going so far as to say a Cruz nomination would be "cataclysmic" for the Republican Party. Another former GOP Senate leader, Trent Lott, has said the same.
But Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, a Cruz supporter, is not swayed. While honoring Dole for his heroism in World War II, Gohmert told WND and Radio America many mainstream Republicans are worried about what a President Cruz would mean for them.
"You don't get any more establishment than Bob Dole and Trent Lott," Gohmert said. "So they're going to be an indication of where the establishment will go. They have more belief that Trump will make deals with them and that Ted Cruz will continue to stand on principle, as he has been."

Gohmert believes the venom in the GOP is a result of Ted Cruz doing something most other politicians don't.
"If you're a person that's interested in lying or you're interested in twisting the truth or you're interested in breaking your promises that you made to get elected, then you're not going to care for Ted Cruz," Gohmert said.

There are very few men like Gohmert willing to stand up and tell it like it is knowing it will make their life harder. I'm thankful men like that still exist.
Yes, he is.
Another one??? wow this is growing. Thanks for coming out, GOT TED CRUZ.
Yes I’ve checked. What Ted tweeted is a lie. There is no way around the fact the summary statement us a lie. I covered it in the first few posts.
Trump Spokesperson Says Ted Cruz Eminent Domain Attack Ad “Outright Lies”

Spoken like a true sociopath.
Ad hominem. Cute.
The Trumpinator rules. Cruz should now lick his wounds and fold his tent, go home.
Trump just used words, which he has since redacted.
Cruz actually voted for it.
Which one scares you more?
I have never seen anyone take the pounding Donald Trump has taken since entering the race. Team Cruz trying to paint Trump as the "establishment" candidate is just more lies from a very dishonest team Cruz. National Review is the establishment and they just devoted an entire issue to trashing Trump.
“What has Gohmert lied on?”
Well, he did say, “If you are person that is interested in lying or you are interested in twisting the truth or you are interested in breaking your promises that you made to get elected, then you’re not going to care for Ted Cruz.” It implied Cruz doesn’t lie or twist the truth. His ad about eminent domain is Clinton-worthy when it comes to “twisting the truth”.
Crickets. You give multiple examples, but the mesmerizing words overcome reasoning.
