Some people around here still don’t get it. The Republican electorate, for the most part, is fed up with elected Republican officeholders and this includes Ted Cruz. You will see a bunch of conservatives voting for Trump in South Carolina and beyond. They’re tired of voting for Republicans in every election cycle, claiming to have conservative ideals, who end up getting to Congress and selling out to McConnell, Boehner, Ryan, and their Uniparty overlords. They’ve had enough of it and to them Ted Cruz is just another Republican politician they don’t trust. That’s the reality in today’s Republican Party. If these GOP idiots in Congress had even done a smidgen of what they were sent to DC to do there would be no Trump candidacy today.
As a rather serious Wascally Evangelical, I don’t hate Ted Cruz. I can’t. That would be hideously wrong.
I think I can, however, try to make a fair evaluation as to where he belongs in the scheme of things. He might be better placed as a “Daniel” in the figurative “Court of King Donald” than as “King Ted.” It’s a matter of looking at his fortes, as well as his weaknesses. Not everybody can be a peg that will fit into any shape hole they want.
“fed up with elected Republican officeholders and this includes Ted Cruz.”
Yup. I think about America two years from now. If I put Cruz in my thoughts as President I see not one iota of change. Exactly like today. If I put Trump there, I see a recovering economy, excitement, people going back to work... hope.
Cruz can’t manage his household finances. Will God immediately infuse him with supernatural power to manage America’s finances? He doesn’t understand business, unions, project management. He can’t help us. Rubio is even worse. And Jeb.
BTW, what does Jeb DO when he’s not on the gravy train? Does he go to a job? Does Mommy give him a Bush allowance?
