I applaud. Thanks so much for the link.
Cruz used to work for President Bush. GWBush and Cruz agreed on the subject of Amnesty (Illegal Aliens), so the President directed Ted Cruz to write the position paper on the subject.
That is correct. Ted Cruz supports amnesty for illegal aliens.
Thanks so much for the link.
The problem here is that people’s desire for revenge is greater than their desire for doing right. That is why Trump’s liberal positions don’t matter to them. He could personally perform a partial-birth abortion live on stage at a Democrat debate during prime time, and his supporters would still be cheering him on. Because they have (wrongly) convinced themselves that Trump is the person who can exact vengeance for them.
“Because they have (wrongly) convinced themselves that Trump is the person who can exact vengeance for them.”
I think your psychological analysis is spot on. It will be sad to watch when Trump inevitably turns on his own supporters for perceived minor deviations from absolute fealty.
I suspect there’s a lot of truth in what you wrote.
The worst part watching all this for me, is Trump telling everyone who he’s going to work with in Congress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNTAF86AeZg
In one of the links above, Cruz is castigated for ‘not getting anything done’ in the Senate. Anyone who says such a thing, IMO, has no idea the scope of the problem we face as a country. I suppose if Cruz would’ve thrown in with McConnell and Reid he would’ve been credited by these people as ‘having gotten things done’. Even if by doing so the country would’ve been flushed further down the gutter.
What kind of ‘deals’ do people think Trump is going to make with his longtime friend Schumer and Pelosi?
Someone had a tagline, and if you read this forgive me for not remembering your name, that said something along the lines of: When Trump wins will Cruz support him?
But in the wake of Trumps own words and prior deeds, I find myself asking a different question: If Trump wins the Presidency, who will he work with in the Senate, Ted Cruz or Chuck Schumer?
Frankly, judging by Trump’s own words, I think it’s obvious he’d rather ‘make deals’ with Schumer than stand with an ‘extremist’ like Ted Cruz.
And taken to it’s logical conclusion, I don’t think it’s far-fetched to think under a Trump presidency, the handful of solidly conservative Senators will be cast aside, and made irrelevant, and the House Freedom Caucus will likewise be sent into the political wilderness for the duration of Trump’s term while the RINO Ryan and McCarthy wing ‘cut deals’ with Pelosi whenever necessary.
Welcome to the Make America Great Again pinglist, SubMareener!
Pings arrive around 3:30 PM and again around midnight EST, most days. Some days it switches up a bit.

He was given that name by a guy who has worked for Sen. Jeff Sessions!
On his own, Trump can only "readily identify" his liberal sister who's also a liberal judge!
Trump's a liberal's liberal and use to boast about it - until, that is, he decided he wanted to be President.
He looked at Obama and said, "I can do as good as that guy, I can even fool more Republicans into voting for me than he did" and he's right! He's fooled you so you make my point!
Ted Cruz lied to the Senate to get his 'poison pill' amendments added to the 2013 immigration bill.
Ted knows how to use deceit as a tactic.
We'd be too busy mopping up the tears of Cruz supporters around here.
You've been added to the Make America Great Again pinglist, GOPsterinMA!
Expect two pings a day, around 3:30 PM and around midnight EST, most days. Once in awhile things change up for a day or so, if I'm traveling.
Thank you Albion Wilde.
Maybe after Saturday, some of “them” will get the message. Probably not, but hope springs eternal.
Like hell you will.
I see we have some transference going on. You lust for his daughter therefore Trump must also.
I don't want to know any more of your filthy thoughts.
Welcome to the Make America Great Again pinglist, mountainfolk!
Cruz has been a Washington inside for 20 years. He was one of the lawyers that worked on Bush vs.Gore. Don’t think for a minute this weasel is not well-connected and controlled by the establishment.
Terrific post! Thanks — bookmarking.
The new PPP poll that has Trump by 17 pts also has Cruz with the highest negatives.
