Money quote:

“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. It’s a huge difference with Trump, but basically we’re 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.

remember this , it seems cruz lies about this too.

“Let me encourage other members of the establishment: Keep supporting Donald Trump because every time you do it, what it is doing is telling conservatives all over the country is where you stand and who stands with you”.
- Ted Cruz, New Hampshire stump speech

Yes, it is. And it is what will win, now and in November. Remember it isn’t Cruz who has folded, it’s the ‘establishment’ bowing to the inevitable.

“now signaling to senior Republicans that Cruz would be willing to work with them as the GOP nominee in a way Trump would not.”

Principled? STOP CRUZ!

“... spoken with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Senate Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas), as well as House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Rep. Jeb (R-Texas)”

John “I have evolved” Cornyn who on the DHS spending bill, both Cornyn and McConnell stated they “have no intention of using the funding of DHS” to stop Obama’s amnesty, because Cornyn already said he thinks Americans just wants Congress AND THE ENTIRE ESTABLISHMENT PARTY APPARATUS to work with Obama to show they “get something done”. McConnell, Ryan, that is the Party apparatus. “America is a nation of immigrants”, Jeb Hensarling said on the 2014 Boehner discussion on “immigration reform”, “... we should strive to find places for people who come here legally, seeking freedom and opportunity; people who want to roll up their sleeves and work to be economic assets”

What we have here is the PARTY APPARATUS and these politicians the anti-establishment base insurgency MAJORITY of voting base Republicans who have had enough and have rejected politicians who have forged long careers in Congress either lying to their constituents or offering lousy policy advice as the never ending spigot of illegal and criminal aliens continues unabated. Now Cruz is in happy hugs with this APPARATUS, and some call Cruz “principled”?

Principled? STOP CRUZ!

He wants a GOPe brokered convention to disenfranchise our majorjty votes. Principled? STOP CRUZ!

Here is what you are going to hear about from this same aparatus and the Cruz thing - more about promises of “less taxes” and less and less about “illegal aliens”. Political promises about “abolishing the IRS” which Cruz wiill never do - nor can he as President - and less and less about illegal aliens. More promises from the political apparatus that they only use to get votes, then they will do nothing. Except tell us we are a nation of immigrants (and cheap labor) then give us amnrsty.

STOP CRUZ! STOP THE APPARATUS OF PROMISES NEVER KEPT!

The Media this morning is already salivating over the “moderate” Paul Ryan to be the nominee in a “brokered” convention over the “un-electable” Ted Cruz or the “fading” Donald Trump.

Cruz is a tool.

Let’s be honest we all knew this already. Ted is the Trojan horse candidate.

Cruz is a stalking horse for the GOPe. Once he thwarts Trump on the first ballot they'll jettison him and bring in Kasich.

The only way to stop the GOPe machinations is for Cruz and Trump to join forces.

As far as the acrimony between the two, I think both are big enough to understand it's all in the game.

Chortle!
You crazy Trumpbots just crack me up. Ted Cruz has done more to fiht the establishment and bring them dead to rights than Donald tRump would do if he lived to be a million years. Meanwhile, Donald tRump has done more to aid and abet the establishment (both GOPe and Democratic Partye than any human alive.
