In all fairness, Cruz has always been about the “ground game”, not the big, flashy Hail Mary type scores.
His efforts to load the platform committee was specifically to insure that neither Trump nor the RINOs could either strip it of the major conservative ideas, nor introduce liberal ones. If he had been scheming for power, he would have stacked the rules committee.
So, now what?
I suspect that he is working very hard behind the scenes to wrest control of the party leadership from the GOP-e and RINOs.
Again, this is not anti-Trump, but trying to insert conservatives into the leadership at the expense of the liberals.
Remember that money and support flow from the party to the candidates for the senate and the house. If conservatives can get control of the “purse strings”, it will pretty much be the end of establishment control over the party.
Where have you been?!
Cruz has been aligned with the Bush family from the get-go.
His task was to reign in conservatives to vote for Jeb!.
Cruz IS a GOPEer and a damned CINO; he out for himself and himself ALONE !
I truly don’t understand Cruz ppl who still can’t see he’s one of them. This isn’t a slam; it’s truly a statement based on my personal observations of personal acquaintances and friends who would agree with everything you just said. There’s just so much evidence out there, I don’t understand how perfectly good, normally sane ppl like my (mainly) Christian, church-going friends cannot look at all the evidence w/o seeing the game Ted Cruz is playing.
If anyone would like to explain this to me by freepmail, please do. I’m not interested in Cruz-bashing, especially in public. Although I do get exasperated sometimes.
One more thing, for anyone who cares to think about it: What would Cruz have to do to make you think one of the two:
“Hmmm... Maybe this guy really is delusional about being King of the 7 Mountains like his father told him his entire life.” Or,
“Hmmm... Maybe this guy really is a globalist hiding behind his Bible and using it as a prop.”
Sincere question. I’m not trying to instigate, whigh is why I prefer freepmail.
If Ted leads a silent/open revolt at the convention, would that be enough? The Quin. Poll today has Trump leading Hillary in key states, so it’s not like Trump is sure to lose in Nov and Cruz is just trying to “save us from ourselves.” There is truly something unstable about this man.
