Cruz, Cornyn Oppose Tariff Threat on Mexico
WBAP ^ | June 5 2019 | WBAP

Posted on 06/05/2019 4:16:04 PM PDT by rintintin

Both GOP senators from Texas are joining other republicans in breaking ranks with the president over a tariff threat to Mexico.

Senator Ted Cruz says it is a game of chicken on who will blink first.

“I understand that the president is frustrated with congressional democrats refusing to do their job,” Cruz said. “That being said, this is the wrong solution to the crisis.”

Pay attention Turd Cruz, IT IS WORKING.

Just because President Trump takes an unconventional and unprecedented approach to a problem doesn’t mean you automatically have to oppose it, just because it affects your state. Try thinking about the good of the whole country, Turd.

I like Cruz, but he is tone deaf on some of this stuff. He had to be dragged kicking and dragging to sign on to do something about H1B abuse in 2016.

When Canuck Ted went to the border with Glen Beck and welcomed the ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS with soccer balls, it showed his true treasonous colors.

And this is just another reason why Mr. Haney wouldn’t be a good President.

Cruz is wrong.

It’s the only solution that has promise. Congress will not do anything or it cannot do anything.

I tend to go with the former.

It's a conflict over policy.

People will disagree about what the right course of action is.

Results will prove who's right and who's wrong.

He’s a bit of a pretend conservative IMO. Globalist CFR/Goldman Sachs wife, etc.

Congress moves awfully fast when their corporate masters tell them to do something. Hopefully their voters give them a call and tell them to stand with the President to stop the invasion into our country. Cruz can kiss winning any elections good bye when Texas finally turns into Mexico Jr.

And here is Cruz again, demonstrating to people in other states just exactly why conservative voters want to get him the hell out of politics.

And just what it was that caused an effeminate crossdressing Irish drunkard to even appear to be a contender for the Senate seat.

If Texas cannot get a conservative to run for the seat the Democrats will probably take it next time.

“I understand that the president is frustrated with congressional democrats refusing to do their job,” Cruz said.

Ted votes for most Trump laws nowadays like the Fed judges etc. He gets it. BUT there are times he just turns into a spineless RINO. It is what it is.

“I like Cruz”

You do?

When Hillary-supporting hooligans were causing violence at Trump rallies, remember when Cruz blamed Trump instead of the leftist thugs?

A right wing talk host said “And no one in that conference room with Trump agreed to support his stand.”

That should make all of us have blood pressure problems (which I have already).

If the Dems are against him, the leftist news media and now the wimpy GOP, then that leaves us to support him.(I realize many hate tariffs here).

Like the Whigs,Bullmoose,Progressives,Reform and others, the old GOP will be one of the splintered parties someday-—under total communist rule of course. Thanks, rotten GOP./s
