Ted Cruz Refuses to Disavow Lindsey Graham Endorsement
Breitbart ^ | 3/21/2016 | JULIA HAHN

Posted on 03/21/2016 7:50:28 AM PDT by 20yearsofinternet

*snip*

Trump surged as the Republican Party’s frontrunner on his campaign platform of deporting illegal aliens, promoting trade deals that prioritize the interests of American workers, and rejecting the party elites’ desire for increased military adventurism.

Ted Cruz, by contrast, wrote an op-ed urging Congress to fast track Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). No fast-tracked trade agreement has ever been defeated.

Sen. Graham’s energetic endorsement of Cruz – and Cruz’s refusal to disavow the endorsement of a man who many believe betrayed the American people with his unyielding push for mass migration – will no doubt raise questions as to whether Cruz still supports his 2013 amendments to radically expand immigration.

Graham, as a backer of the 2013 Rubio-Schumer amnesty plan and the 2007 McCain-Kennedy amnesty plan before that, is perhaps the Republican Party’s most outspoken proponent of open borders immigration policies.

Perhaps more than anyone, Sen. Graham has attacked GOP voters, lawmakers, and thinkers for opposing mass migration policies.

Why on earth would anyone nominate someone who has never held judicial office to the US Supreme Court. He did argue 9 times as a lawyer before the court and won a grand total of 2 cases.

I don’t know how I got on this thread, but I’m jumping off it post haste.

What part of my “claims” do you not believe? They are all well documented and can be easily verified with a simple internet search.

>> This is such bulls*t. <<

Your comment applies to a large proportion of Breitbart’s content — esp. articles by Julia Hahn. She is a true expert in creating the image of an outrage where no outrage exists.

In particular, the headlines on Julia’s articles are often the worst sort of click bait. With this kind of garbage being so prevalent at Breitbart, it’s not difficult to understand why a number of staffers have recently left the operation.

The Establishment is a radical element. they’ve sold out our country. And Lindsay Graham was one of the most hardworking salesmen of them all.

So far Cruz has managed to get Mike Lee’s endorsement, which came too late, after Cruz had lost the entire South, now he gets a nothing endorsement in democrat-lite Linda
Graham. Cruz is hated by anyone that knows him.

Look it up. Ted and everyone in his family have had well documented problems with alcohol. If you ever see Ted without makeup caked on his nose you will see all the broke corpuscles, he looks ten years older than Rubio who is the same age. Anyone who has grown up around alcoholics recognizes Ted’s problems immediately.

Name me a candidate who disavowed an endorsement from anyone who wasn't a murderer, child molester, genocidal maniac or Grand Wizard.

That could cover a lot of politicians. Robert Byrd for one.

The idea that Cruz could have Graham fund raising for him after Graham said that the difference between Trump and Cruz was, "It's like being shot or poisoned. What does it really matter?"

Anyone but Cruz or Trump would prove better, Graham stressed.

"So let’s just pick somebody out of the phone book if we have to," he said. "We can win this election unless we lose it."

You have a point, that there is the family history.

To change the subject a bit. My prediction is that come Wednesday Morning, Trump should have roughly 746 delegates.

He should well over the top by June 6, 2016.

>> Breitbart is getting ridiculous in their Trump mania <<

There’s no “getting” about it. Breitbart has had its collective head up Mr. Trump’s rear for several months now.

What this does is show that Ted has become part of the GOPe. All the events in the past couple of weeks has supported this. Having Carley go to the border with him solidifies it.

Stupid argument.

Agree, which is why I pointed out your extravagantly false assertion.

A Canadian/Cuban is NOT a Natural Born Citizen, Murky citizenship status of his American-born mother notwithstanding (which is likely the reason that he has been less than forthcoming with documentation).

And those “internet searches”, except for going to leftwing tripe, prove your claims are either outright lies, misinformation, and twisting of actual facts.

If you want to keep following the lies of the left and progressives, go ahead. But you won’t sell me on it.

His race has nothing to do with his citizenship status.

He has already been found to be eligible, hence all the many frivolous cases being tossed out. So you can keep screeching about it all you want, but it makes no matter.

So many don’t know about Loveable Lindsey because people in SC can’t get along without him in the Senate.

So is Ted Cruz an alcoholic, a reformed alcoholic, a social drinker, or just a plain drunk?

1. This was never how Breaking News was meant to be used. Troll elsewhere.

2. Why would Cruz disavow an endorsement from a sitting Republican US Senator?

Christie is a not a member of the Washington cartel, Linda Graham is. No comparison at in the two politicians. Christie was also a hell of a US Attorney and put away many high level terrorists. Another endorsement Trump has gotten is Rudy Giuliani, another great former US Attorney, who was also Assistant Attorney General for Ronald Reagan.
You can bet that either Giuliani or Christie will be the the Attorney General if Trump is elected president. I can’t think of one accomplishment of Linda Graham except getting elected.
