Interesting. Do you happen to know what the question was that Cotton asked Fredo? I would like to know.

Tom Cotton is as smart as Cruz is cunning. Cruz dared not answer Cotton, because Tom can’t be played by one of Ted’s pony trick answers.

I promise you this, Ted Fredo Cruz is going to be the epitome of FATAL ATTRACTION. Yikes!

Cruz is already tired out, to the “Trojan agenda”, but his dirty associates still need work.

It’s interesting to read what people think in the district that the incumbent is running in...sounds like you people know what you want and should fight hard for it...

Good Luck and hope it all works out...

Cruz wasn’t around to support any conservatives last cycle.

You recall he was doing penance to McConnell as his vice chairman of the NSRC, where he dropped $250,000 into the mitty, declined to endorse a soul due to his high fallutin’
position.

That quarter million must have come in handy for the MISSISSIPPI TREATMENT against Daniels who was leading there.
Haley Barbour and McConnell drug incumbent Thad Cochran across the finish line for McConnel.

Well, well, well, just saw on TV a US Chamber of Commerce commercial for Tim Huelskamp's opponent, Roger Marshall. I was correct, Marshall is who the establishment in Washington DC wants. I hope Kansans see through their deceptions and see Huelskamp is the good guy in all of this for standing up to the establishment.

I also found this: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/427902/chamber-commerce-targets-tim-huelskamp-2016

The establishment has been targeting Huelskamp for awhile. We need him more than ever to help defeat them in Washington.

Former Kansas Resident here. How is Marshall doing against Huelskamp? Do you know?

Can’t stand Marshall, used to be my obgyn. Basically only choice in Great Bend at the time (he and his partner). No one could stand him, favorite word amongst people I knew was “arrogant” and boy is he ever. Perfect candidate for the establishment.

Thanks for the personal info on Marshall, much appreciated. I was a little miffed at Huelskamp when he got on the Cruz bandwagon but a lot of people were duped by him. I talked to some of Huelskamp's people and while they didn't admit it, I got the feeling they eventually regretted it too.

Yeah, Marshall has that hit and run where he tried to run over someone and eventually got busted for it and convicted. That was the first thing that made me think twice about him. What you said backs up what type of personality he has.

The last poll I read was that they are running neck and neck. The establishment is pouring in a ton of money trying to defeat Huelskamp. I hope my fellow Kansans don't get duped by the establishment again like they did with Cruz (Cruz won our caucuses).

Huelskamp stood up to Boehner and the establishment, that took a lot of guts. Huelskamp is the true anti-establishment conservative in this race and I hope my fellow Kansans understand that.

Auto-correct fail.

“Cruz has already been *hired* out..”

Like I said.Why give him the air time? He’s a waste of it. And from your wording you seem not to be willing to give him the time of day either, let alone a vote, also.

I cannot believe the amount of money being spent on a single house heat in rural Kansas. I get junk mail from both of them practically every day, and often see 3 or 4 commercials in a row, alternating between the two candidates. Where is all this damn money coming from?

That's no lie. I guess Tim really pissed off the establishment when Boehner was forced to step down, as he tweeted "today the establishment lost" Both sides are throwing a lot of money in this race.

Yes, of all the potential campaign managers throughout the country, how is that Cruz ends up going with this guy, Roe?

Cruz is good at avoiding/having to answer “uncomfortable/unpleasant” questions. During the SC primary in the upstate area, he would not go on the local talk radio shows because he knew he would get hammered for his vote on TPA/TPP...that and other “uncomfortable” topics. He sent out surrogates a couple of times, then after awhile, the radio hosts said “no more with the surrogates” and wanted the candidate himself. You’ve got to wonder why he was always a no-show. If there was one county/region he should have won, it was here in the Upstate area, yet, he lost to Trump.

Cruz is spoiled and used to absolutely no vetting. He has the dependable habit of getting out in front of his own story to pre-spin it. He’s good at that.

Then 30 minutes later, you realize he didn’t say anything declarative. There was no affirmative “yes” in there, or a “no”. You find out you fell for a linguistic pony trick.

He is one of the finest *deflectors* in the business. Everything sketchy gets put off on an agency, so he can deflect from making a definitive stand.

On the good stuff, as with illegal invasion, Fredo tried to ride the back of straight-as-an-arrow, Jeff Sessions, always name dropping what Sessions did, trying to parrot Jeff and claim Jeff’s work as his own.

Classy Sessions had to be so repulsed by this snake, Cruz.

You said it.

Cruz rode on Jeff Sessions back in the Senate, claiming his straight forward work for his own. Jeff must have become so repulsed by this climber.

Fredo can not give a straight answer on a controversial issue, because he has to get elected by the stupid people among the conservative base, but he is owned by the globalist agenda. Hell of deal.

Yes, agree with all you said. Describes/fits him to a T. He has fooled so many people with his "Christian Conservative Constitutionalist" shtick, fooled me initially I will admit, but after he lost the SC primary, I began to take a much closer look and didn't like at all what I was seeing. I realize that many people don't follow politics near as close as I do, and they are the ones who still support him wholeheartedly. And why not? When you hear radio/TV ad endorsements by men such as (a stalwart of the faith) James Dobson, you tend to believe that and tend to stick with that person.

I can't help but believe that Ted and Heidi Cruz are no different than Bill and Hillary Clinton in terms of their own political ambition, albeit from the opposite side of the political spectrum. They are in for themselves, their own personal ambition, and I for one, have no stomach for them.
