Cruz Feeling 'Pretty Darn Good' About Romney's Backing
NBC News ^ | 3/19/16 | NBC News

Posted on 03/19/2016 8:23:55 AM PDT by jimbo123

Ted Cruz openly welcomed the backing of Mitt Romney on Friday afternoon, telling reporters at a press conference on the Arizona-Mexico border that Romney's decision is "pretty darn good."

"Listen, in my book, when someone says I'm voting for you and I encourage everyone else to vote for you, that's pretty darn good," Cruz said, also responding to the absence of an official endorsement by the GOP's 2012 nominee. "And I'll take that - and take that happily."

Did anyone ever stop to think that Cruz is accepting the endorsements and playing along and then when elected he will still be conservative and act accordingly? Sheesh.

Is there the possibility he had no choice in Romney’s endorsement?

“WHY THE HURRY?”

I think it is because he knows he could not keep the outsider schtick going for another 4 years. He knows that eventually he has to dance to the tune of the people paying his bills.

I do, too, and I don’t this the campaign is good for her or his family, and a side prayer would be for him not to force her and her daughters into an unending bubble of secret service for the rest of their lives.

I read that police report and I have great tenderness for her. It described a trapped woman who was close to having nothing left to lose.

Just a little more proof that Cruz has demonstrated that he is a world class dunce.

And to think, I thought he should go to SCOTUS.

Shame on me.

“Not going to work, Ted. Best thing for you to do is become a preacher, like your dad. Then you can legally scam people.”

That won’t work either. His oratory is horrible. Antiquated, grating, and oozing calculated insincerity. Everything sounds like a corny closing argument meant to condescend to presumed dullards - often a deadly mistake.

He is a paper lawyer. A solicitor, in the British system. He’ll go do billables at some firm or other, probably hooked up via his wife’s connections.

Unfortunately Cruz is going to find out what it’s like to be “picked up” in a bar at closing time.

If there weren’t an oligarchy ruling over us and owning the “media,” someone would dare ask Mitt how old Ted Cruz was when he first had USA citizenship documentation. America would be stunned to know that until he was 16 he only had Canadian papers.

I think your 2 cents are worth at least several dollars. True.

It’s interesting how Ted Cruz doesn’t seem to use his phrase “The Washington Cartel” anymore.

In fact, now he seems to welcome the support of the Washington Cartel.

No, LOL!

Did anyone ever stop to think that Cruz has been lying this whole time?

Is voting for the Corker Bill a conservative acting accordingly?

That was the first clue.

“Is voting for the Corker Bill a conservative acting accordingly? That was the first clue.”

There was one earlier clue, when Ted voted for cloture on the TPA bill. That vote helped smooth the way for passage of ObamaTrade.

That was the point where my support for Ted came to a full stop. Every revelation since then, has served as corroborating evidence against him.
