Yay! Sundance at CT again!!
TED CRUZ - THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION
Senator Cruz took office in January, 2013. January through September of 2013 Cruz campaigned against Obamacare, forcing a government shutdown. It appeared he was doing the right thing – for the right reasons. However, he received intense backlash for a junior senator with only a few months on the job. He was ridiculed and marginalized. Then, he made a telling decision.
In October of 2013 Cruz made a strategic decision to regain credibility and influence. To achieve this he partnered with the very political machine he previously opposed, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and then Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell.
McConnell directed Cruz to join the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
Through 2014 Cruz served as Vice-Chair inside the NRSC, a powerful part of the DC machine. He forwarded their program refusing to assist any political entity not in alignment with the group's objectives. In short, he sold his soul to McConnell Inc. In early 2014, McConnell vowed to beat back tea party candidates wherever they surfaced. "I think we are going to crush them everywhere," he said in March, 2014.
Cruz publicly separated himself from McConnell Inc., but carried the objectives of the 2013 plan forward quietly behind the scenes. While publicly railing against what he called the DC Cartel, a group he was bound to assist from his prior pledge to them, he worked to achieve their goals nonetheless. When the President of the Chamber of Commerce called for an immigration package, conservatives erupted, accusing the Chamber of supporting amnesty to line the pockets of big business.
Senator Ted Cruz never once campaigned for a conservative in the 2014 mid-term races, nor did he ever discuss the absence of a federal budget once Republicans were in control of both the House and the Senate.
Rand Paul and Ted Cruz appeared on the Sean Hannity Program on January 13, 2014. Both Senators said they would not help new conservative faces attempting to unseat incumbents in that year's primaries.
Both Ted Cruz and Rand Paul were strongly supported and would not have won without support from the grass roots and the Tea Party. However, when they were needed most – they chose to stand on the sidelines.
the reality of the situation
Dear Lord, is there a bottom to this sewer? I’m starting to lose hope that we can fix it because it’s every damn one of them.
Except Trump and he’s alone.
Did you see the ad buy form on the page approved by Cruz’s committee attack in Cochran? Now, why would Ted do that if he’s such an “outsider?”
