Cruz’s favorable rating nosedives after Trump non-endorsement
HotAir ^ | July 25, 2016 | Allahpundit

Ed mentioned this in passing in the last post but it deserves extra attention. How often do you see a guy’s favorable rating within his own party cut nearly in half in the span of two weeks?

Cruz’s move, however, appears to have backfired. While 60% of Republican voters had a positive impression of the former presidential candidate before the convention, just 33% have one now.

“Plus, Ted’s own daughter does not like or respect him. “

I’m no Cruz fan but how on earth would you know that?

“I think it is time to disregard Cruz.

Trump is running for president, and representing our party. That is a done deal.

In my opinion, it serves no constructive purpose for us to dwell on Cruz anymore.”

I am in broad agreement with you, except for the occasional pick up game of whack-a-mole when Felito raises his head from time to time.

No, he doesn’t. He wouldn’t recognize it if it threw him a rope.

A few gifs out there with the daughter disrespecting Ted. One, he tries to kiss her and she recoils away from him.

In another, she tries to flick his head with her finger.

She seems to not like him.

Just seems odd. My daughter is 5 and would never do that.

Toronto Ted was a Rat Party plant in the GOP. I really am terrified of the schemes they had in mind for him implementing in office.

I will always be thankful that Trump saw through him and saved the party and the nation from him.

Perhaps,but she could have something autism related.

Yes, I am very thankful for Mr Trump. As I have said in the past, if he didn’t enter the race, the man with the most money would have won. And we would be looking at a Jeb/Hillary contest.

FReepers have even posited some type of abuse in the household, so odd is her affect towards him.

I would suspect Ted of being on the spectrum before I’d suspect his seemingly normal daughter. Just saying. I don’t mean it as an insult to him, but an observation.

(In reality, the child probably was just annoyed that he kept dragging her around the campaign trail with him. That can’t be fun for small children. Perhaps he should have taken her comfort more into account.)

“In my opinion, it serves no constructive purpose for us to dwell on Cruz anymore.”

While I agree that going forward, we should not dwell on Cruz(unless he pulls another stunt) I also think this is an important story. Not only does it show that Cruz made a huge mistake the way he handles this (changing the script after giving Trump a copy) but it shows how much and how quickly Team Trump brought unity to the party. That’s pretty important, both for us and to take away the MSM favorite talking point.

There is another story out there about how the Mercer’s, Cruz’s largest by far money donor ($30 million) have dropped Cruz like a rock. That’s also important to know when Ted calls asking you for money. Without the Mercer’s and with their negative influence on the other large donors, Ted Cruz is a man without a bank account.

One more thing....this is a teachable moment for those other GOP rascals who want to continue to damage Trump....he knows how to play this game and he plays it well!!!

I’m telling you this is a non Trump-Cruz related news story.

And as such, it was fair game game to post and to comment on.

We're in a war for the very survival of this country. The battle lines are stark.

When a POS like Cruz is rolling grenades into the command tent of the only hope we have left to save this country short of all out gun play then this Canadian ahole needs to be totally destroyed politically.

That goes for all the other marxist #nevertrumpers in the Republican party.

Suggest we wait and see what he does as a Senator the rest of his term rather than sending him to the gallows.
 
That has already been determined. The primaries have revealed that Cruz has been running a deep game on us all along, for some singular agenda of his own. He's shady and right now, I don't know who this guy even is, so his actions whether past, present or future are now suspect. As long as he still has that senate seat, he remains a menace and bears close watching.
