I see he spoke at a freedomworks event last night about repealing Obamacare.
Give it a break.
Cruz is the Dolezal of Conservativism.
Cruz supported ObamaTRADE despite being SECRET
and there IS the appearance of impropriety with
Goldmann Sachs and the globalists.
Was that in a footnote Cruz admitted he did not read,
or was that dictated to him from Goldmann Sachs.
Conservatives know that Cruz is a RINO first,
a Give-Obama-Power (GOP) leader second,
a SECRECY supporter third, and threw
his chance to be the Conservatives’ FIRST candidate
away (and then doubled down).
Go Cruz!!
Was a bit sad and petty to see so many people here trashing Cruz the last few days over the trade stuff, many saying he was a loser etc.
Go Ted, you can do it buddy.
If we changed laws every time public opinion said to, we’d be in real trouble. Especially when the “public” is as imbecilic as it is currently.
Thanks for posting this...makes understanding all this much easier
Diogenesis: It looks like you have scratched Cruz off your list.
Who do you currently favor for the GOP nomination?
Cruz may have pissed off many with his TPP which is understandable but let me ask this question:
Since most politicians relieve very large donations from corporate interests and many favor the TPP wouldn’t a “NO” vote possibly have killed his chances of receiving the tupe funding it will take to get all the way to the WH?
I’m going to venture that this might be the reason he voted YES to it but can’t comment as to the true reasons he did so. Just food for thought...
Of all the candidates I’ve seen absolutely none are perfect. He is the closest candidate to being what Anerica needs that I’ve seen so far.

Jeez. If Cruz is a RINO, there is no such thing as an electable conservative.
I’m all for Ted Cruz. I have put $$$ where the old mouth is and plan on sending in more.
CRUZ or LOSE!!!
He supports Rand Paul.
Oh, and he is obsessed with toast too.
TPA or Fast Track is unconstitutional.
The Constitution specifically states how treaties with other nations must be approved.
It is clear.
But, because there is so much money at stake (billions and trillions) our self-serving politicians and leaders decided the Constitution made it too difficult for trade agreements to be ratified.
So, they argued that trade deals with other nations are different than treaties with other nations.
By separating out trade deals with other nations, they can write their own rules for ratification.
TPA requires a simple 51 vote majority to ratify a trade deal, but a 60 vote majority to kill it. Anything in between puts it in limbo until enough votes can be found in either direction.
Making it easy to ratify trade deals is just a jobs program for government workers. Congressional aides, congressmen, etc will be the ones getting lucrative consulting jobs helping companies “navigate” the details of a trade deal.
They will get wealthy helping companies get into new markets and helping companies get into our markets.....regardless the consequences.
Trade deals are treaties. They should be difficult to ratify. Trade deals should meet a very high threshold because they affect US citizens, US companies and US national security.
We would be a better nation if trade deals were difficult to ratify.
Ted Cruz should know this and recognize this. However, he, or his family, will probably benefit from the next trade deal ratified.
Wrong. He might make AG.
