Cruz camp out knocking on doors today in my community here in Indiana. I was outside working in my side yard garden. There were 2 young ladies that stopped and spoke with my husband. Hubby said that he would be voting for Trump and that Cruz was a liar and could not be trusted. He then called him Lyin’Ted!!! Of course they wanted to tell him all about how wonderful Cruz was. They asked my husband who is your wife going to vote for and he told them we were both voting for Trump. Oh, they just could not believe it and wanted to talk to me. Hubby was afraid to tell them I was just in the side yard around the corner of the house. He knows I am all in for Trump and that this conversation would not end well. We have a lot of Church groups that go door to door in our community. I saw them walking away from the house and scrunched down behind a tall shrub thinking they were from one of these groups. Darn-I wish I had known-I would have loved to talk with them!!
What? Ted says it himself in the video!! Do you think he’s lying about that too?
TTTT!
Cocaine really came to our community in the late 70’s then of course crack was like a bi-product. Before that, the area was flooded with cheap heroin and meth. Not many people talk or know much about Meth, but it’s really a cruel drug. It’s sad to hear even now that heroin and Meth ar making a comeback.
Good grief. Cruz is tanking at mach speed, now.
He better redeem himself quickly, and graciously get out fast to salvage himself in public opinion. A little grace and humility could go along way.
People are fuming.
“Good grief. Cruz is tanking at mach speed, now.”
I think that the aura around Ted has worn off. People are paying more attention to the election now and I believe the more people learn about him and see him, the more they dislike him.
A lot of his story has holes in it. Especially his legal career that he and his campaign highlight. It’s not all you might think it is. More times than not, he was not the champion he makes himself out to be.
Even the Heller case, which his supporters here brag on about, that Ted, single handedly saved the gun rights of Americans is smoke and mirrors. He wrote one of the 70 legal briefs in the case and by all accounts was not a factor in the decision.

Meds is what you are all about, dipshit.
W/respect, when one has to explain what a word, phrase or sentence means; one is rationalizing its meaning, as the words DO NOT speak for themselves. All men are NOT equal, and never were, since Adam.
As for equality in the moral sense, the Almighty endowed each of us w/a Soul which has made each of us unique for eternity; the astonishing miracle of creation.
It is incumbent upon Conservatives to speak ageless truth unvarnished by the malarkey that is the language of the political assholery that infests DC.
We are not talking about you using drugs. I have no idea. We are talking about you promoting the use of drugs. I tkae no drugs legal or otherwise. How about you? Don’t lie.
Scooby is a Cruz supporter?
I take it the answer is ‘no’.
Never had the pleasure myself.
This discussion is going off the rails. In general I respect a no drugs ever guy like Trump more than I respect a pothead - and I think pot should be legal. Not all virtues should be mandatory. Cocaine and heroin can actually kill you dead on the spot, which is a whole different level. If you believe in federal food and drug safety laws outlawing cocaine follows logically.
If you're a federalist/state's rights conservative the argument isn't so clear cut. Under federalism it's unlikely that most drugs would remain illegal in every state.
I'm not ready to endorse New Deal definitions of the limits of federal power just to stop every potential overdose. Leave it to the states.
I just don't see Ted Cruz as being the type of person who while in college was ever invited anywhere where cocaine was present much less having anyone offer to share a bump with him.
So, yeah, I think he's full of it.
What does your tag line mean? Unless you are making fun of people like Thurston Howell III from Gilligan’s Island I don’t see your point. Are you advocating for class warfare against conservatives from older, established families?
I think you’re on to something.
Read where Cruz was elected to the Senate with only 4% of the vote, in TEXAS. Is that right, Jane?
He worked the same tactical path in TEXAS that he’s using now. In TEXAS, he simply corralled the religious zealots, holy rollers, Evangelicals, and the Republican activist base, enough to just hold his opponent under 50% and force a run off— one that wouldn’t come around until some week day in the middle of summer heat, and guaranteeing a low turn out.
Now he thinks he should be a president, therefore.
It is just TOO eerie how some candidates, like Hillary, Obama and Cruz shaped their whole life for gaining the presidency. I don’t like that biographical history on a candidate. It is too surreal when they pull it off. (said shuttering, and chills.)
I’m not promoting the use of drugs, except for you specifically and your anger management condition.
The answer is that if you’re going to apply the standards of inner-city crack addicts to the entire US population, you’re so far from having a rational discussion that I can’t take you seriously.
I will note that a trillion dollars wasted on the war on drugs has done exactly nothing to reduce any of the issues you raised. Zero. Total waste.
Wow.
From Tennesseans to all our Indiana Trumpsters--and your Indiana Homeland Far Away!
