Shouts of ‘liar’ are taking their toll on Ted Cruz’s campaign
MSN News ^ | FEB. 24, 2016 | Katie Zezima

Ted Cruz's presidential bid is in turmoil after repeated allegations of unsavory campaign tactics by his Republican rivals, leading some key supporters to call for a shake-up in the candidate's message and strategy a week ahead of the crucial Super Tuesday primaries.

Aides and allies of the insurgent senator from Texas acknowledged in interviews this week that the campaign has been damaged by attacks on Cruz's integrity from Donald Trump and Marco Rubio. They have pointed to a series of questionable tactics by the Cruz camp, including calls to voters suggesting that candidate Ben Carson was dropping out and the sharing of an inaccurate video suggesting Rubio had disparaged the Bible.

“Nobody likes Ted.”

Senators Lee and Sessions have spoken very highly of Senator Cruz. The voters of Texas elected him to the United States Senate despite the fact he was opposed by the Republican establishment and massively out funded.

He has many supporters in the primary.

The people who say they don't like Senator Cruz are the MSM, Rep. Boehner, Senators McCain, Graham and Senator Mitch Obama’s bitch.

That sounds good to me.

They say that in a democracy you get the government you deserve and our morally flexible base combined with the ignorant masses is succeeding in delivering a seriously flawed nominee lacking the understanding or inclination to combat the statists on every front. Now we have to hope for the lesser of two evils to win the Presidency. The GOPe has salvaged a minor victory in taking out the one conservative running.

Trump has been dealing with the establishment way longer than Cruz. Just ask his beloved friends, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Hillary.

lol total BS Cruz isn’t a liar, and anyone with an ounce of brains and integrity knows it. But none of this even matters anymore. Trump has won. The irony of all this is that it was Cruz who ran interference for Trump at the beginning and allowed him to get some traction. But that’s water under the bridge. Time to start looking toward the matchup with Hillary

Cruz has no one to blame but himself. He is not a natural born US citizen as required by the Constitution to hold the office of president. And Cruz knows it.. The once renowned Harvard Law Schooled lawyer, has made a mockery of the Constitution.. and deceive the many. The Cruz I was introduced to way back when, claim to fame was he followed the 'original intent' of the Constitution. No more, is he called the 'original intent' Cruz. Now, he has been downgraded to the handle the most 'consistent' conservative. Whatever that means.

Nothing makes sinners feel so good

It is not the sinners that abandoned Cruz - rather it is the 'spirit filled' Christians that had an awakening and turned away from the false prophet.

Trump is not an honorable person.

“Trump is not an honorable person”

That’s putting it mildly.

“The ones who are truly anti-establishment will go to Trump. The really hateful ones will have a fit and stay home or do a ‘protest’ vote.”

What about those who won’t vote for a liberal democrat regardless of what party label he’s running under or someone who has a mental or personality disorder? Trump is all of above.

People don’t realize Trump has no plans to implement the things he talks about.

No plans to change the Uniparty.

The constant repetition of these attack articles are meant to destroy Senator Cruz.

I agree 100% with your post. It is distressing when a truly honorable Constitutional Conservative is smeared like this. I wonder which campaign is sending plants to his rallies to vilify him.

Everybody has a few warts. The way I see it, Cruz erred by trying to paint Trump as for single payer, anti-2nd amendment, and a few other claims where the defense for making the claim is risible. Better to say Trump is a flip flopper, than to claim he is (now) for single payer, anti RKBA, and so on.

Yesterday, Trump said that Cruz has decided to give up lying (at least about Trump), and therefore will feel much better about himself going forward.

All that as background to your ...

-- The MSM is going after Ted Cruz and trying to destroy him. --

I agree with that. They are "late to the party," and assuming what Trump suggested is true (that Cruz will back off the obvious, direct falsehood), criticism from the press is not justified. Bygones be bygones, there are election contests in the past, and decisive ones in the future.

The false charge is sticking because he is attacked on a daily basis and the MSM reports it incessantly.

For Pete’s sake, Cruz is a liar. Three different men running for president with diverging interests know it.

The sooner Cruz supporters realize the fatal flaw in their candidate the better. It is time for them to come out from under that cloud and see what is really going on.

A revolution is underway. Get onboard or get left behind.

No idea what your blathering on about.

But it’s not important anymore. Everyone needs to take a chill pill on both sides.

Fact 1: Cruz will go back to the Senate and continue to fight for conservative principles

Fact 2: Trump will crush Hillary in the general.

“The MSM supports the continual lies by Obama and Hillary Clinton.”

MSM supports Trump and Trump’s continuous lies and character assassination.

This is absolutely dispicable.
It is now causing me to rethink staying on FREE REPUBLIC and listening to this garbage.
UNTIL DONALD TRUMP started attacking Ted...he was highly regarded here.
I will NOT VOTE for TRUMP and feel I am swimming against stream here now.
SAD DAY for America and for Christians.

Ted is not God’s candidate. If he were, wouldn’t he be winning?
