Free Republic

"However, he does know that just with a little pressure, he will alter the policy of Republican politicians."

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winna!

Holy crap, two quotes! That's as solid as asserting Levin only supports Cruz cuz his girlfriend's kid works for him. Guess it'll be a co-presidency just like the Clintons.

Goodness, the stuff I'm expected to swallow...

Wait, I thought their argument was (contrary to basic conservative philosophy) that conservatism doesn’t matter anymore?

There’s a word to describe this sort of individual... it’s pretty rude, starts with a p, and Trump once repeated it to describe the guy he’s now afraid to debate.

Oh sweet, we really missed out on having a President that golfed like a maniac while the world burrrrrnssss /sarcastic /danacarveyasbush41

My PSN tag since 2013 has been "buy an AR-15 already."

If it comes to what you describe, things could get quite ugly. But I'm still behind Ted.

I hope even Trump people (or the Crump outsiders rule camp) will join in the schadenfreude for Linda; this is so delicious it simply has to be fattening. Om nom nom :)

What do you expect? Trump supporters tell them all the time that they’re irrelevant, he doesn’t need them, conservatism is old news, and every one of them they lose isn’t important, they’ve been replaced by two dem crossovers, doncha know? Hear it enough and some will say “okay, fine, good luck out Democratting the Democrats.”

Seeing Linda have to issue mild praise for Ted pleases me immensely, given what an absolute prick he has been towards him. I know that little worm died a little inside when he had to do that. Oh noes, maybe he'll have to haul his fainting couch over to Turtle Mitch's when he goes to tearfully ask him to pass a meaningless resolution declaring Ted is eligible! I hope they both have a stroke.

Yes! Yeeeeesssssss! Mmmmmm your tears are so yummy and sweet!"

You've gotta eat it, Linda. Now you can EAT ME (and Cruz, muahahaha)!

"The rest of the world saw him as a typical conservative versus the natural born socialist with the magic skin color that he was defeated by."

No, he was every Democrat's favorite Republican (to borrow a phrase from Cruz, he's nice and housebroken and polite). They loved him and talked him up big. John Stewart's favorite elephant. Course all that kneecapping of conservatives and bipartisan love fest crap didn't help him at all. As soon as he was the nominee they laid into him (as they did with Romney and will do with Trump). ANY Republican is going to be painted as a puppy-eating baby-rapist that puts kittens in a blender for fun, so trying to reach across the aisle to people that hate us doesn't seem to work to me.

As for the silent majority of conservatives, it seems more like a 40+ percent plurality from what I hear. That's more than self identify as moderate, or as liberal. Yes, one needs to grab Reagan Democrats, but both Cruz AND Trump are vulnerable on that to me. Cruz voted for that crap trade bill, and Trump plays the "jobs Americans won't do" card (like McCain did during the pre Obama amnesty push.). But the main point I'm making is go after the conservatives hardest, they have the largest numbers. Being worried to death about crossover Dems and indies(Romney won indies, big whoop) is what got us in this mess in the first place.

Yeah sorry. I'm basically being a sarcastic d*** tonight, there's no denying it. I've just bit my tongue for months now and I had enough.

Sorry I got ya Xo

Nah bro. Levin’s totally GOPe. He’s been kissing Boehner and Lord Turkeyneck’s a**es for so long. He never makes fun of Karl “I win elections, sort of, gimme money” Rove and how wrong and doughy he is; or tells him to quote “stick his whiteboard”. /s

If Trump is going to attack him from the left, I'm going to give that the stinkeye. If you crap on Ted because he won't be voted Most Popular in a Senate full of traitors, I'm going to grumble because that sounds like something that Linda Gayham or McLame cry about. I don't care if they like him, I despise them as much as Obama.

If you're going to point to "dirty tricks" against Ben Carson by Tedphistopheles, it helps if you didn't spend all of January crapping on Carson for being a 7th Day Adventist or being a self-admitted violent problem kid. It's disingenuous concern trolling.

I never said Cruz was the Risen Lord (Levin hasn't either) but out of all the flawed humans running, I trust him the most. More than Donnie-come-lately. That's not based on Levin pulling my strings (did you hear!? His fiancée has a kid that works for Ted! We gotta git that weasel! Rawr!), it's based on my jaw dropping upon hearing some of the things Trump said in the past 2 months versus how Cruz has behaved since he got in office.

For the record, "well, I voted for that because Mitch promised he wouldn't cut deals with Obama" is a steaming load in my eyes. At least he called him a liar in public over it tho, and as far as I know, he never donated money to help his traitor-enabling ass get reelected, like the other guy.

"Most importantly though, don't you realize that in the general election his bi-partisnship becomes a major asset when seeking crossover votes?"

Exactly! Just like John McCain's bi-partisanship helped him become President... oh wait...

"The whole of the critique of Ted Cruz doesn’t amount to a millionth of the issues there are with Trump. I’m sick of it."

Duhhh, I'm against Ted cuz he's like Canadian and his wife works at GS, and he voted the wrong way 3 times. So I'm voting for the guy who gave money to leftist scum and the GOP establishment and never cared about stopping illegal immigration until last year , cuz I'm totally against the establishment! Brawndo - the thirst mutilator! /s

Seriously, I hadn't said a thing until this thread, but I can't hold my fury in any longer. This is freaking ridiculous.

They started criticism when he started sounding like a leftist (we’re going to take care of everybody, Cruz is “nasty” cuz Turtle Mitch and friends don’t like him, bragging about getting along with scum like Schumer). Rush still has positive things to say about Trump, and Mark defended him against the media’s initial campaign o’ slime. I listened to him do it. Trump did this to himself.

Holy conflict of interest, Batman! That must’ve been why he did it! Not because he’s been watching Ted for a while a mostly liked what he saw /s

I guess people outside of the southeast don’t know that Rubio lied to us in Florida to get our votes. He’s a prettier Mel Martinez. Except Martinez had the decency not to run for reelection after he tried to bone us; Rubio is so filled with delusions of grandeur that he decides “I think I’ll run for President!” after betraying his constituents. To quote David Spade, “pure balls, ladies and gentlemen.”

Don’t give him a chance, America, we in the Sunshine state won’t give him a second one.

“The regional nations truly hate America and its European branch, England. This hatred is not limited to our people: all regional nations hate them ... Why do they complain about being hated? Yes, we hate you.”

Right back atcha.

And most of us don't complain about it, we're indifferent to it. The large German Shepherd doesn't freak out when the teacup Yorkie yaps at it either.

"“The problem now is that we have the land, but they have the experience,” said Mutinhiri, a black landowner. “We need to help each other.”"

Well ma'am, first of all, those evil honkies don't "need" to do a thing for you. A person from which you steal a car at gunpoint is under no obligation to instruct you on the safe and efficient use of the same vehicle. That's now your problem.

Second, this outcome was preventable with forethought, thinking, and reasoning, but emotionally driven "kill whitey" rage ruled the day and still does in your garbage can country. More important to stick it to the crackers then feed oneself, I suppose.

I'm not Rhodesian, never known any. But I rather hope you all starve. If I had been there during your dumb revolution, your male relations would have murdered me because I'm white. I have zero sympathy for you bigoted scum.
