What a fall from grace. At one time, Cruz was a shining star in the conservative movement. We are hard pressed to find another politician who fell so far so fast. And it was all of his own stubbornness and his delusions of grandeur. Such a shame.
That’s before he showed his true colors......that he’s an asshole and has the personality of a toenail. Mr. Smartass tried being something he wasn’t.......a REAL MAN....
First ones that come to my mind are Gary Hart & Ted Kennedy, either of whom could have been a Rat nominee.
Accurate appraisal. I have been watching conventions since 1956 and attendant to other political speeches as well. He may have thought he knew what he was doing, but he did not. He destroyed his own career in a five minute missed window.
People told us for years what a giant a-hole the guy is. We didn’t believe them because we liked him on issues. Now we know.
I really don’t believe “it was a fall from grace”. I initially supported Ted even here on FR because I liked what I heard but then something in me wanted to start digging in on him to see if he was truly the dealio.
He wasn’t and he’s as dirty as they come. He was a total operative and that’s when I switched to supporting The Donald. I initally liked the The Donald because he was self-funded but wasn’t on message with him at the time.
Once I found out the ties Cruz had to the Bush family I scrambled & voted for The Donald in the primaries.
I also have read a lot of Roger Stone’s books,too.
At one time he worked for The Donald.
He published a book entitled JEB! after reading that & finding out Neil Bush was on Ted Cruz’s financial committee I became disgusted.

The only people I see talking well about Ted Cruz these days are Democrats.
He would have had the nomination if he had supported the American people and the Constitution with his votes on the TPA,TPP, and the Iran nuclear treaty. I forgot to add the H-1b visas.

Trump has a way of smoking them out, doesn’t he? Cruz was my first choice.
