The winner of the November presidential election will likely sound a bit more restrained on national security upon stepping into the Oval Office, the nations intelligence chief said Monday.
I am struck with how simple things are on the campaign trail and how the very same issues are hard in the confines of the situation room, said James R. Clapper, head of the nations intelligence community, referring to the nerve center in the West Wing of the White House.
He noted that the job of president has a tempering effect on anyone.
There are far more complexities, policy implications, legal implications, than it would appear on the campaign trail, Clapper said at a morning briefing with dozens of journalists at a Washington hotel sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor....

You are wrong about him. He has admitted to being a bundler for the Cruz campaign. He has said he was hoping to raise 7 figures for him. That makes him an insider, likely getting a set of talking points to hit every day, and he does, with a vengeance. He may or may not be paid to shill, but he is definitely following a social media strategy laid out by the Cruz campaign for him, and he is definitely posting obscure articles sent to him by the campaign.
An admitted bundler posting nonstop 24/7, and nasty about his comments, is not what this forum is supposed to be, a place for conservative citizens to post their own opinions, not regurgitate a campaign's propaganda.
Keep your Cruzbot friends classy, piytar. Usually, they are not.

I was complimenting him on how well he was able to disguise the Cruz propaganda within this post, instead of the usual crap he posts. He is doing a great job of continuing to do his job without getting zotted, skirting the line.

Did you notice how all the shills for the shill came out of the woodwork? People I haven’t seen around much. He must have sent out a distress notice.

I admit that I may be wrong. You lay out a good case.
I used to support Cruz. Now I’m more of a Trumpster.
More importantly, I loathe the GOPe almost as much as the demscum. At one point thought both Trump and Cruz were anti-GOPe. Think Cruz may have gone to the dark side, though. Sigh.

2DV has earned his creds here on FR.
You? The jury is still out on all of the recent bandwagon signups.
