Matt Drudge not the problem, Senator Cruz
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/12/16 | Judi McLeod

Posted on 04/12/2016 8:50:38 AM PDT by Sean_Anthony

Matt Drudge has the stones to fight Hillary Clinton. Where are Ted Cruz and Donald Trump in the battle that matters most?

Rather than coming out on the attack against Matt Drudge, Senator Ted Cruz should endeavor to be more like him. Conservative to the core, feisty at heart and relentlessly independent. That’s Matt Drudge, and that’s why untold millions go daily to the Drudge Report.

“I need no traffic from Google. I don’t care if I get one traffic referral from Google or Bing or Yahoo or any of these others… Everybody’s so hungry for referrals, for likes. I don’t need to be liked,” Matt Drudge told Alex Jones in October. (Breitbart Oct, 7 2016)

Yet if Matt Drudge were putting up all these articles showing Trump in a negative light, Trump would attack him and everyone would here would cheer.

Cruz can deny reality all he wants. Trump is clearly winning the public perception war with ammunition the other candidates give him. Stupid of them, normal for Trump.

It seems that Ted is only interested in his newfound alliance the the GOPe to silence VOTES, and detractors through engineered no-voter SELECTION.

Pity that Drudge doesn’t give a crap about your new CRONY GOPe liaisons with the GOP apparatus. Ted, you’ve already lost, but you don’t know it.

Well, I still go to Drudge several times a day - but there is no doubt that Matt Drudge is supporting Trump this cycle. That became obvious quite awhile ago. Drudge is a Trump site right now, just like places like Red State are in the Cruz camp.

Surprised to see Drudge throw so totally in with Trump though. I mean Drudge’s viewers are mostly the right of center and he is alienating a whole lot of people by being such an open, partisan promoter of Donald Trump.

I have not noticed any changes to the site that would say he supports Trump.

And let’s see who was upfront on some of our most important issues ......

immigration - Trump
refugees - Trump
tax reform - Trump
military - Trump
trade - Trump
jobs - Trump

Trump has been the leader with most important issues. Trump doesn’t wait to see the direction of the trial balloons. He is a leader.

Politicians always say “someone hacked my account”. It’s funny how stupid they are.

Drudge does not write a single article or very few, correct? I thought he was a clearing house for conservative stuff.

Poor Matt - spending a lot of time stamping and shouting NOT FAIR the last week or so.

You would think he would be a bit more thick skinned by now. Whining is so pathetic.

He always plays the victim. Jeff Roe helps Liz Mair with a questionable slam (ad) against Trumps wife and Cruz is the victim. Cruz has no business being near the presidency. He is a candy ass. The senate is where he belongs. There, he can hide behind the other 99 cowards.

Drudge supports the conservative news. Right now Cruz is all over the news, particularly with the Colorado convention results.

It’s makes sense for him to follow the hot topics in the news, he had a link to Rush saying how Cruz isn’t cheating, he’s winning. So it’s not like all he posted was Cruz bashing articles. And the others weren’t bashing him, they were just reporting that some voters felt shafted in Colorado.

I am surprised that a couple of links on a website could get Cruz so worked up. The truth is that an entire political party and whole sections of the punditry and media on both the left and the right dedicate every day to destroying Trump. If Cruz had to deal with 10% of the flak that Trump catches every day I believe he would curl up into a little ball and never come out of his safe space. So much for the courageous conservative meme.

If Drudge really wanted to be “all Trump” he would have publicized the sex stories that even the MSM did. Even many on here were surprised he did not. Cruz should be grateful but instead he attacks unfairly.

Drudge should be allowed with respect to support whoever he thinks is the best candidate just as Phyllis Schlafly should be. It seems that only Cruz supporters are allowed that without being attacked.

Drudge had dishonest headlines yesterday and linked to a article from august of last year making people believe it was a current article. Not a good day for drudge
