When this is over, we need to be together on a set of issues we agree on, Gramm said, characterizing the message he relayed to McConnell and others in Senate leadership. The good news is, while people may have had conflicts with Ted, our basic leadership totally agrees with him on the issues. Its a huge difference with Trump, but basically were all together.
"Anti-Establishment" Cruz and the GOPe "totally agree on the basic issues" according to Cruz surrogate Gramm. How principled and conservative of Cruz.
Duh, Cruz was always ‘establishment’.
Whoever it is going to be needs to win outright. Too Much Bad Blood would have been brewed in our own ranks for the Repub Nominee to win. (We control our own destiny, 2016 is ours to lose)
And The GOPe and Bosses are perfectly fine with a loss.
Why? Because what difference would it make? Hillary is Pres? oh no....They still have their Buffets, Their Crackers and Cheese and they get to go to Nine Rivers Country Club every Sunday, so shut up base.
The establishment is not conservative and neither is Cruz
the Cronyism is what is destroying this country
notice how the “conservatives” hand Obama everything he wants just as long as they get subsidies for their donors?
And they claim to own my vote? They can screw off
WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING.
SNAKE.
“WE’RE ALL TOGETHER”
“New boss,Same as the old boss...We get fooled again...”
( and that song was in the sixties! )
If Trump did this (as he has in the past), it’d be called “good business sense.”
I know it’s hard for Tbots to think without their messiah telling them first.
History is a guide to the future. Cruz’s past indicates he will be a principled conservative when he is in the White House. All indications are he is using the establishment and it’s resources to get to where he wants. Far to long the establishment has used the grassroots, it’s about time we have used them.
Ashley Cruz substitutes his CuboCanadian allegiance,
unending cheating, reported whoring, salient backstabbing,
endless bearing of false witness as he is protect
by other womens’ panties behind which he hides,
and all in the light of his vote for ObamaTRADE and Obama,
in place of honesty, integrity, and steadfastness.
Months ago Trump criticized Cruz for being hated by the GOPe in the Senate, said he Trump would work with them and Dems if elected, unlike Cruz.
Now that his GOP buddies are supporting Cruz against him, its all different for Ted than it was for Trump.
It means that Cruz is corrupt. It was a good thing for Trump, but bad for Cruz...Trump's rule,.
‘GOPe for me but not for thee’ is Trump's rule on this.
Hahahaha...yeah.....Politico....the friend of every true conservative.
And now, even though Donald is the one who first "wanted to get along and 'conjole' with Mitch McConnell", he's now accusing Cruz of exactly what he plans himself. Pure Alinsky.
Wasn’t that a criticism of Cruz early on from Trump and his supporters? That he couldn’t work with anybody to get things done? And now it’s a criticism because he is doing just that? Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. LOL
To them, Ted is like a new Democrat, and since they think they can "compromise" their way into keeping power, they are okay with it.
Remember, they ended up doing exactly the same thing with Reagan.
The only people selling the Anti establishment nonsense are clueless Cruzers. He is bought and paid for by Wall Street and K Street and then he bribes other insiders like Carly to zip her lips and help with his dirty laundry,
He’s a traitor and doesn’t really stand for anything. Cruz is a prime example of why the people are so fed up with DC and the GOP.
The GOPe hates Cruz. But they hate him less than they do Trump. Given their options the establishment has made the correct decision. Back Cruz and accept the fact that he is the only viable alternative to Cruz.
Over-analyze it if it makes you feel good.
Tell us you will sit out the election if Trump isn't nominated.
Accuse Cruz with his 98% conservative voting record of selling out to the GOPe if you like.
And predict Paul Ryan will win on the 2nd ballot if Trump doesn't get his 1237.
Not me. I don't get my sources from Politico.
This election has become a scenario that equates with neighborhoods under the control of the Mafia. The residents know that the “Bosses” are underhanded, unprincipled and are draining them for their own benefit. However, the residents know that what little benevolence the “Mob” has towards them will turn to all out punishment if they dare to stand up for themselves. They’re of the mind that “the little people”(read: voters)just don’t have a chance against “The Organization.”) Well, we shall see.
Once Cruz has served his only purpose -- that being to derail Trump -- the GOPEs will (again) crush him.
(Ted Cruz is a smart guy ... he has to have made this calculation.)
Wait, aren’t Cruz supporters proud of their guy for refusing to make deals?
