The senator's comments also marked a sharp reversal for his support of Roberts in 2005, BuzzFeed reports.

The report cites Cruz's support for Roberts' nomination in a 2005 op-ed piece for the National Review and an internal memo he wrote as Texas Solicitor General praising Roberts' skill as a litigator.

"I’ve worked with John and seen him argue numerous cases, and, to my mind, there’s not another appellate advocate who’s even close," Cruz wrote.

The corruption is all yours.

Where's the magic employee threshold where buying politicians and sucking up to the most vile corrupt people for "the greater good" is a-okay?

As far as Cruz goes, your moral equivalence attempt is a total fail. Carson and his incompetent campaign people were the cause of what happened.

Since when is it corrupt to donate to politicians?

Are you corrupt when you donate to Cruz?

Trump explained, “I’ve got to give to them, because when I want something, I get it. When I call, they kiss my ass.”

You are beating a dead horse.

Trump is from New York, and his politicians are what? Conservatives?

Wake the hell up!

Trump has business interests across this nation. He has them in other nations. Whether you like it or not, there are times when it helps to have someone in our government when national and internationals things come up.

That is what these folks are there for, in part. It isn’t evil. If he gave money to a Republican and needed their help it wouldn’t be evil. It isn’t evil when he gave it to Hillary for access.

If you can point to one thing off color that Hillary did in return that was illegal for Trump, by all means post it.

Other than that, you’re just off on a tirade that is baseless.
