    Senators Rand Paul and Marco Rubio joined forces Thursday night to accuse their colleague, Ted Cruz, of being willing to "do or say anything" out of political expediency. "This is the lie Ted's campaign is built on, and Rand touched upon it," Rubio said during the debate. "That he is the most conservative guy and everybody else is a RINO. The truth is, Ted, throughout this campaign, you've been willing to do or say anything in order to get votes." Rubio and Paul argued that Cruz has been inconsistent in his approach to immigration reform. Cruz, who put forth an...

    GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee joined the growing number of Republicans criticizing rival Ted Cruz by attacking him for meeting with gay businessmen despite being a staunch opponent of gay marriage. Huckabee on Wednesday tweeted a link to a New York Times article about the meeting, saying "I'll never play political games with my faith." "We shouldn't say one thing for votes, and another for NYC money," he added.
  • Ted Cruz: “what happened in Mississippi was appalling”… Really ? Really Ted ?

    Senator Ted Cruz seems to express disgust and outrage against the tactics deployed by what he calls the “DC Machine”. Cruz states that their conduct in the Mississippi runoff was "incredibly disappointing" etc. However, we now know - from specific documentation provided by internal research into the activity around the Mississippi campaign - that the National Republican Senatorial Campaign, the NRSC, was the financier for the attack ads against Chris McDaniel. So who is the "DC Machine", this "leadership of the NRSC", that Senator Ted Cruz is so incredibly disappointed in? Whoopsie - Yes it would appear that Ted Cruz...
  • Seems Breitbart (and Drudge?) Being Paid BIG Bucks for Glowing Trump Coverage

    How else to explain it... Mark Levin was scratching his aerodynamic dome all last week wondering how these two have evolved into such fervent Trumpster sites, pumping Trump's disingenuous false narratives and slander against  Ted Cruz in an increasingly biased way regarding tone and substance. One way to make sense of it all might be a long-forgotten story that Buzzfeed and Mediaite put out last August where they had former Brietbart staffers going public with accusations that the site has been paid by the Trump campaign to ensure positive coverage (and suppression of viable rivals like Ted Cruz) from the get-go:In a bombshell...
  • 'Natural Born' Issue for Ted Cruz Is Not Settled and Not Going Away

    While the nation's legal scholars differ over the exact meaning of the Constitution's requirement that a person must be a "natural born citizen" to become president, they're unanimous in saying Ted Cruz is wrong about an important point. "As a legal matter, the question is quite straightforward and settled law," Cruz has said. "People will continue to make political noise about it, but as a legal matter it is quite straightforward." In fact, the experts say, it is neither settled nor straightforward. It's not settled — because the Constitution does not define "natural born," a phrase that appears in the...

  • It's obvious Cruz campaign internal numbers are imploding [vanity]

    01/19/2016 12:51:53 AM PST · by springwater13 · 92 replies
    Old saying is follow what politicians do, not what they do. In the span of one week, Cruz has did a 180 on his entire campaign strategy. He was basically Trump's mini-me for 6 months. He wouldn't attack. He was praising him everywhere he went. His entire self-admitted strategy caught on tape with donors was to shower him with love. In the course of one week, he's gone to attacking him on twitter, to attacking him to reporters, to attacking him at his rallies and now a major negative TV ad campaign. Confident campaigns do not do such 180 degrees...
  • Ted Cruz is the new Bill Clinton

    The New York Post ^ | January 18, 2016 | Robert George
    As we've been made painfully aware this campaign, Hillary Clinton is no Bill Clinton. But what should worry Hillary is that Ted Cruz just might be. In last week's debate, Marco Rubio lit into Cruz with a lengthy harangue of supposed flip-flops on immigration, trade, ethanol and other issues. Rubio charged Cruz was no "consistent conservative." In short, Rubio was calling Cruz out as being politically "slick." If so, he shares certain attributes with successful two-term presidents -- the ability to engage seemingly contradictory elements of the party base and ideological, ahem, "fluidity" that drives other members of the party...

    A spokesman for Sen. Ted Cruz's presidential campaign said Tuesday it would be a "blow" to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin if she endorsed businessman Donald Trump for president. "I think it [would] be a blow to Sarah Palin, because Sarah Palin has been a champion for the conservative cause, and if she was going to endorse Donald Trump, sadly, she would be endorsing someone who's held progressive views all their life on the sanctity of life, on marriage, on partial-birth abortion," Cruz campaign spokesman Rick Tyler said on CNN's "New Day."

    Old saying is follow what politicians do, not what they do. In the span of one week, Trump has turned a 180 on his entire campaign strategy. He was basically Cruz's BFF for 6 months. He wouldn't attack. He was praising him everywhere he went. His entire self-admitted strategy caught on tape with donors was to shower him with love. In the course of one week, Trump's gone to attacking Cruz bitterly on twitter, to attacking him to reporters and interviewers, to attacking him at his rallies. When will his negative ads start running? Confident campaigns do not do such...

    Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) blasted 2016 rival Donald Trump on Monday, questioning his ties to Democrats and previous support for liberal positions as the two battle for the top spot in Iowa."If he's giving checks to Democratic politicians and he supports their views... then it starts to suggest, 'gosh if he publicly supports their views if he finances their causes,'" Cruz told Boston radio station WRKO. "Then suddenly when he announces as a candidate for president, every single one of his views changes - listen if he has had a change of heart, I am thrilled." Cruz, who is competing...
  • Trump Takes A HUGE Stand For Christianity…Says What Obama Won’t!!!

    TRUMP TAKES A STAND... Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke at Christian university, Liberty University, on Monday and said "Christianity is under siege." "Somehow we have to unify," he said. "We have to band together. We have to do really, in a really large version, what they've done at Liberty. Because Liberty University has done that," Trump said. "You've banded together. You've created one of the great universities, colleges, anywhere in the country, anywhere in the world. And our country has to do that around Christianity," he continued. "So get together, folks. And let's do it. Because we can do...
  • Cruz super PACs use Trump’s words to lift Cruz — and counter Trump

    The Washington Post ^ | 1/17/16 | Robert Costa
    Super PACs supporting Republican Ted Cruz's presidential campaign released a new digital ad Sunday that counters rival Donald Trump's recent attacks on the senator from Texas by using Trump's own words. The 60-second spot is part of a coordinated six-figure buy by affiliated groups that call themselves Keep the Promise and are backed by Cruz's biggest donors. It comes hours after tensions between Trump and Cruz escalated when Trump told ABC's "This Week" that Cruz is a "very nasty guy." "Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him. He's a...
