I read some time ago that Cruz, in one of his first moves as senator, greased skids in Wisconsin, with Scott Walker, Paul Ryan and Reince Priebus before Cruz ever announced.

Cruz arrived in the US Senate and went right to work buying strategy and Establishment politicians in all the right places.

That’s politics, and this event should probably come as no surprise.

Yeah, just ignore all the facts of the past four years of conflict between the party insiders and Cruz and believe that. Good gravy.

Cruz had the entire party lined up against him throughout his primary race and while in the Senate. If he is so brilliant as to have simply bought off Wisconsin politicians three years ago for the anticipation that at this exact moment he could win a specific state deep in the primaries and pull victory out of defeat, then he deserves everyone's respect for his historically unmatched strategizing.

It does come as a surprise to most everyone that Cruz set out to buy friendships in the establishment.

He and the establishment sure have done a fantastic job of dis-information to fool all of us with that charade of Cruz having no friends and being hated by everyone.

In reality, I suspect the truth is in the middle. Cruz has bought no friends. But at the same time he doesn’t have as many enemies as his few enemies claim.

He has a lot of envious but gutless admirers.

I guess Trump bought the wrong ones...his were mostly on the Democrat side of the aisle.

Yeah, but where would a new Senator get that kind of money ?

Have you got an extortion letter from rnc priebus yet? This letter I got yesterday is similar to the Iowa shenanigans by the pubbies. The letter comes with bold reddish print on the envelope that says notice of delinquency,and contains a letter that shows through the window as the pinkish scofflaw notices,and the only return address info says office of
Records florida area assessment and underneath that is two lines saying immediate response requested with a bunch of asterisks. You open this slimey piece of mail and it is the RNC bitching because they tried to contact me to renew and join the campaign to no avail. It is extortion,and everyone I have shown this letter to has flipped out. They have to be psychotic to think I will ever renew or give those bastards one dime again.

You should try reading something that is not pro Trump. I can keep up on both sides. Trumpees avoid all that does not promote him.
As Rush says you can’t take down Cruz on facts - you have to go personal.
