Indiana senator calls Ted Cruz 'the most self-centered, narcissistic, pathological liar
The Daily Mail ^ | 7/22/2016 | GEOFF EARLE

Ted Cruz's extraordinary speech at the Republican not only angered Donald Trump's supporters who were in the hall Wednesday – it set off one of Cruz's senior Senate colleagues, who is now branding him a 'liar.'

'I think what people saw last night is what we have seen in the Senate. No matter how conservative you are, you never can meet Ted's standard,' fumed retiring senator Dan Coats of Indiana in an interview with IndyStar.

'He only thinks of himself, he doesn't think about party. He's a wrecking ball.' said Coates, the former U.S. ambassador to Germany who did two stints in the Senate.

Coates was so outraged at Cruz, who delivered a long speech where he called people to vote their 'conscience' but wouldn't endorse Trump, that he was willing to shatter the normal etiquette of not insulting fellow senators so directly.

'He's the most self-centered, narcissistic, pathological liar I've ever seen — and you can quote me on that,' he told the paper.

Cruz suffered similar, though less insulting, abuse when he faced down angry questioning from members of his own delegation, who shouted out questions about why he wouldn't endorse Trump.

Cruz's speech exposed a deep rift. He got booed in the hall by Trump supporters when he didn't endorse. Then Trump appeared in the hall as if to interrupt him, and Cruz supporters booed Trump.

Here is where Ashley Cruz, 1 week ago,
made plans to take out Mr. Trump with Hillary and Obama.

Oswald Cruz is lower than the RAT Romney and his partner, Soros.

I would expect the Republican voters will kick him to the curb in a 2018 primary. I am done with Rafael Cruz.

I agree.

Earlier today I saw a talking head whine about Trump getting off message and bringing up Cruz's father. Correct me if I am wrong:
1. Teddy Cruz brought up his father, falsely claiming that Trump attacked him.
2. Trump rightly responded that he did not attack Cruz Sr., that he had nothing to do with the magazine article about the father and Oswald. Has Cruz deny that the man in the picture was his father?

I guess Mark Levin will call him a sell out also for insulting his promised messiah.

Everyone hates Cruz. Is it any wonder why?

Lucifer is a step up from Cruz.
