..Most of his Republican colleagues in the Senate detest him.

I consider that to be one of his best qualities. I wouldn't give a plugged fracking nickel for EITHER of my two RINO Senators.

They talk the best conservative game every 6 years and they come home and lie their ass off and then go back to DC and feather their beds some more and do exactly opposite of what they promised to get there.

Cruz is the conservative dream candidate. I am able to vote for someone I agree with on most everything, first time since 1984. Amazing.

Agreed. Many of the , particularly the leadership of the last 8+ years have done little to nothing to advance conservative causes or even hold the line against liberal ones. Why should I want someone who goes along just to get along? I thought the establishment were the bad guys.

Trump’s real reason for turning on Ted, other than he was catching him was this: Ted hurt Mitch McConnell;s feelings in that public rebuke. As a former federal worker, I know that it’s not considered “nice” to say anything about your superiors and they can get real nasty about it. However, I think the founding fathers were rejoicing! They surely would’ve stood to say the exact same thing...many of the...had they been alive.

There have been so many times that I’ve wanted to suffer the expense of taking a trip to DC, getting entrance to the Congress, when in a dual session, and read them the riot act. We’d be taken out in shackles and arrested for disturbing the “peace”. We’d not even get a chance, honestly and truthfully. The fact that one of our own Tea Party guys stood FOR us, where we could not, risking his career, and possibly his life was such a thrill to watch that I realized then that Cruz deserved our vote. IS he a perfect candidate? Nobody is, but of the 16 who started, way more morally and fiscally a strong leader, and as Scripture admonishes us...we should elect only godly leaders.

Here is a very good article:

He cannot be a person who listens to lies, for the Bible says, “If a ruler harken to lies, all his servants are wicked” (Proverbs 29:12). Men and women with fortitude and honesty, guided by what is right, make history.’ from Adrian Rodgers, Leadership Crisis in America)
