Cruz just threw away a great political career.....................................
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me........................
So you like Ted are looking forward to Madame President?
It won't cost him anything. He likely gained enormous support from the NeverTrump/Cruz faction.
Ted Cruz could have stayed home. Instead he accepted Trumps invitation to a dinner party, ate the food and drank the wine, then pissed on the carpet and kicked his dog.
Ted Cruz did this to himself, solidifying his national reputation as the most hated man in America.
Cruz speaking now. Spinning!!
Donald Trump is the nominee.
Who is everyone talking about?
Ted Cruz.
Does anyone else find that odd? Almost like it was designed to be that way.
Sure thing, Tedlim ... *chuckle*
“...Ted Cruz was given a lot of rope...”
This is how I see it as well. I think it was brilliant of the Trumps to allow Cruz to sink himself.
Newt gave Cruz a verbal smackdown and put Cruz right in his place without having to even appear hostile. That was equally brilliant.
If you honestly believe your post you are:
1. Gullible
2. Stupid
3. Ted Cruz
Or maybe just all of the above.
“...speech was GOOD...”
It might have been good if it wasn’t loaded with hypocrisy. Cruz was ranting about the importance of freedom for the American people with a straight face while the reality was that he had tried to take away the voice of the American people with his delegate stealing sleazy tricks.
The entire speech was a farce because his earlier actions during the primary had not not matched up with the overly earnest rhetoric. I was disgusted.
The ONLY thing good about the speech was when Cruz made clear that it was the Republican party that ended slavery.
Trump will turn the “vote your conscious” into a positive. Bet on it. Hillary’s convention next week will be her high water mark. Afterwards it’s all but over for her right through November.
“.. Ted Cruz made the Hindenburg look like a safety match...”
LOL!!
I was just at Glimmerglass Lake Beach (Otsego Lake) yesterday (referencing your FR handle)
Excellent point!
They all, including Trump, disappoint me most of the time in one way or another.
Trump does some things that seem downright irrational. He does break the status quo though. NATO for example, what do we truly get out of NATO? We have been conditioned to believe that it is still necessary because we have always been in it. Is it effective? Are we willing and able to make it effective? Probably not. Rand Corp estimates that Putin could overtake the Balkans in 60 hours or less and NATO is powerless to stop it. NATO has become expensive window dressing to me. So is Trump right to challenge the status quo? In that regard, I think so.
Erdogan, Trump has made comments of late that tend to support him? Incongruous. I can’t understand it. I can’t see how he is wired. He may survive in his own organization being a loose cannon but he can’t have done what he has done being that way all the time. Can he?
The irrational anger against congress is not irrational at all. It is perfectly rational. Some of the people are sick and tired of paying all the bills, carrying all the freight and not having a voice that is heard. It makes perfect sense to reject traditional candidates and the traditional GOP. Both have betrayed us.
Cruz has shown himself to be mostly uncompromising as long as he thinks it is good for Ted. That does not mean he is without ideals. At the heart of things though is what I have said about Ted all along. He is just not likeable. Other than that, to me, he comes across as just another slimy pettifogging lawyer but he probably is a legal scholar. My other long term problem with Ted is his lovely wife who lies with the dogs of Goldman-Sucks, an organization that I hate and consider the devils hand maid.
It DID get the ridiculous “Melania plagiarized” meme right off the eneMedia’s news cycle, however.
Brilliant move by Manafort/Trump once again.
please document the “attack” on Cruz’s wife. I believe there was a tweet of a less-than-glamorous picture. If I’ve missed something, please enlighten. Otherwise, quit carrying the MSM’s meme-water.
Great point! I’m voting for Killary!! </S>
Just claiming the coveted #600 post. LOL
