I just watched a video blurb from earlier today when Cruz fired his guy, and man, I don’t know if I’m just fully jaded or what because of everything that’s happened, but when he was talking and, I guess sort of apologizing for the mistake, he did a very lawyery thing. Here’s exactly what he said:
“It turned out the news story he sent around was false, but I’ll tell ya, even if it was true, we are not a campaign that is going to question the faith of another candidate... even if it was true... our campaign should not have sent it, that’s why I’ve asked for Rick Tyler’s resignation.”
Why keep saying “even if it was true”? It wasn’t true. Seems like he’s being a double-talking lawyer trying to plant the seed of doubt about Rubio’s faith.
LOL, oh Ted.
Reagan didn’t win in his first shot either.
Your guy is only 45 yrs old.
Hopefully he learns a lot this run and comes back as a stronger candidate.
Rafael Milhous Cruz is a real Tricky guy.
After Texas he will be gone.
LOL ~ It’s a little something he picked up from Trump. All politicians are sleazy to a certain degree. But I like Ted’s 100% pro-life attitude. He seems to understand how abortion has “deformed a great nation” better than any of the other remaining candidates.

.. he has fired his bumbling communications director...
You mean he has fired his lying communications director. The same guy who has been in charge of other Cruz lies. But, the fired employer did apologize. He said that his latest lie was an error in judgment.
Not knowing what is going on in a campaign by one’s communications director is like Obama saying he read about it in the paper or saw it on TV.
After Trump and his supporters go out every day and spread lies about Cruz, why would any of his supporters go to Trump? He's the last person I would vote for in the primary!
Thank you, nice to hear Trump’s son speak. Impressive family.
Rubio should read this. He needs to smell the coffee.
Just got around to signing up for FR last month so you can trash the most conservative candidate?
Go emote your feelings over at DU.
You got that right.
SC was a huge disaster for Cruz. Evangelically-rich SC was supposed to be his best chance for victory...even he said so. He should have won there handily.....but he couldn't even beat the GOPe/s beatified Rubio.
TX oughta dump Cruz and elect another Conservative. Cruz is just too weird and creepy.
==========================================
Cruz is looking more and more like the late unlamented prez candidate,
ex-Texas Gov Rick Perry---two stealth candidates trusting Texans hardly knew.
At first, Cruz (like Perry) looked good....prez material, even. Then candidate Cruz (like Perry) began admitting things that trusting Texans knew nothing about.
Perry shocked his constituents when he admitted in a debate that he was using trusting Texans tax dollars to give illegals in-state tuition. Perry also installed the country's first Sharia Court in Texas....active to this day.
Cruz heaped on the surprises:
<><> I didn't know I was a Canadian citizen when I ran for the Senate until the media exposed it.
<><> I told trusting Texas voters wifey and I were liquidating family assets so I could get into the Senate.
<><> I didnt know I was supposed to tell the FEC I borrowed over a million from my Wall Street margin accounts to fund my campaign.
<><> I told Mark Levin the borrowed funds were used for campaign ads....but I didn't report this as required.
<><> And so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.
============================================
BACKSTORY Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary......portraying himself to trusting Texans as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.
He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that he, and his faithful little wife (a $700,000 globalist lawyer employed by G/S), were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.
NOW TRUSTING TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from trusting Texans).
Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from trusting Texans.
At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a dual Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn't know. When the Dallas Morning News published his Canadian birth certificate, Cruz put trusting Texans through the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship.....even though Canada did not recognize dual citizenship at that time.
============================================
Cruz (like Perry) didn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Political blunders piled up ... it was one disaster after another. The dumb moves made will be required learning.... what not to do...... for any candidate!
20 years of internet and less than 6 months of FR participation. Where were you?
Cruz lost Evangelical votes even after Glenn Beck assured us that
Cruz was sent by God to guide us thru the Rapture of winning SC.
Cruz/s wife Heidi said Ted would show us the face of God (above).
Then came the claim that God took Scalia to underscore our need for Cruz.
===================================
The cockamamie idea that God would decide matters of
life and death based on the potential to help Cruz/s
campaign reinforced Cruz/s weird and creepy image.
=============================================
NOTEWORTHY Some ex-Cruz supporters are airing their gripes----many are p!ssed at Cruz for not disclosing that as a Senate candidate, he was still a Canadian citizen.
Trusting Texans spent time and money on him.....making calls on his behalf for the votes that helped him win office.
Newbie trashing Cruz. Impressive.
Who’s paying you...Trump or Hillary?
I keep asking where do I get one of those jobs?
I’ll work cheap.
Nobody will tell me.
Ya, I’ll sit and troll websites all day to get paid. Nobody will tell me either.
“Just got around to signing up for FR last month so you can trash the most conservative candidate? Go emote your feelings over at DU.”
There is a huge amount of this going on. Trolls from DU here to slam Cruz. I’ve been on Free Republic for over 10 years. These new people stick out immediately with their tactics and vitriol. They are obvious leftists.
Teddy has started the long goodbye tour.
