My mom was a newspaper reporter for a major newspaper. She was tenacious and tough, and didn't fall for any nonsense from politicians. She had & made a boatload of enemies. But she always told her readers the truth, no matter what. Our family didn't get invited to a lot of 4th of July picnics.

There used to be a phrase...."Don't pick a fight with those who buy ink by the barrel." Neither Sen. Cruz, nor his team seems to have not heard that phrase, evidently. Perhaps it is why they are forced to resort to trickery and shenanigans to keep their gullible supporters in line and supporting them. Now we learn that they are setting up mirrored phone lines of local phone numbers to trick Trump supporters (thinking they are calling Trump operations) so they can later harass these people into voting for Cruz. Really?

By their fruits ye shall know them, indeed. I used to say here on FR that while I don't want him for POTUS, I'd love for him for SCOTUS. But in the last couple of weeks, I'm not sure I'd even go for that. He has let me down.

All I heard around here for months is how DJT was mean, a business scoundrel, someone who would do anything or say anything to win. He would lie, cheat, steal & deceive to come out on top. He was a moral reprobate.

But instead, we've learned our holier than thou Christian candidate is all of those things, and more.

Cruz lives in a glass house and loves to throw stones

ping. Great video.

I saw these twitter posts and they did try to blame it on Trump. Hilarious. This ties together with other actions by Jeff “Suicide” Roe.

Devstating for Cruz. Period.

If it is not devastating for Cruz, then his supporters are truly in the ultimate “bubble”.

Well, I suppose you can take Cruz lying about this one thing or Trump’s lying about be a conservative. One lie is bigger than the other.

“By their fruits ye shall know them, indeed”

Or in the Irish we say “you shall know them by their limping” :-)

Haha... Then I actually looked at the BS link you provided. What a load of crap. The Cruz team is not the one lying here.

Ted burned “principled” to ashes on the altar of winning.

Typical politician.

I like how the trumpaloopas keep repeating this same silly monotonous song. Even their tall orange god has moved on, but the little fellas practiced the song and dance routine real hard and they’re going to just keep performing it over and over. I like it! Keep doing it, little buddies

If your mom heard a politician deny they’d done anything wrong but then keep apologizing for it, I betcha she’d have asked why.

Cruz can’t stop apologizing because he knows the truth, just as CNN has explained it, and it stinks.
