Cruz voted against TPA in the final vote because the bill that came back from the House did not have the immigration language that he and Sessions wanted. Also, he called McConnell out on the backroom deals he was making to get it passed.
If the majority of GOP members/voters align more with McConnell (and, by extension, Boehner) than with Cruz, then why is our dissatisfaction with the GOP over 60%? Hmmm...?
Furthermore, one of Senator Cruz’s most endearing and appealing qualities is his willingness to do battle with the GOP “leadership” - BOTH Boehner and McConnell - and to speak frankly. That, too, would tend to indicate that he has something very much in common with Trump. If most of us see some pretty extensive similarities between Trump and Cruz (not to mention their obvious developing relationship), why wouldn’t this author?
Reason being: Trumpeteers have LIV tendancies.
Folks that write this CRAP are FOS and this CRAP isn’t worthy of publication.
I barely skimmed it.
NOT WORTH MY TIME ACTUALLY READING IT.
That “question” in the pole presupposes that the choice is between conservative and delectable, like if you’re more liberal you’re more electable.
Surprised it took 45 posts for someone to point out the obvious.
Cruz and Trump are polar opposites in many ways. (Media handling, Limited-Government Constitutionalism, etc)
Personally, I have no intention of supporting anybody but Trump, Carson or Fiorina in the primary or general election. Those candidates all have defects, but I’m not voting for a GOP Company Guy this time around. Not a chance.
[I am done voting lesser of two evils]
I agree.
Trump is running his own race. Cruz is running his own race. There is no evidence of Trump fading, and Cruz is gaining.
If, for some reason Trump does happen to drop out-His supporters will go where they want to go.
What's their advice to Cruz:
Be like McConnell and Boehner-You'll win?- Riiiiiight.....(/s)
ping
Cruz will never be President, and would be wasted as VP.
The best outcome is for President Trump to nominate him to replace Ginsburg or Breyer.
Do tell just how is Cruz a "company guy" - this should be really good.
He isn’t, but most of the credible field is.
When someone says “duh”, I know I’m dealing with a true whiz kid.
Yeah me too, and sorry for the voice to text mistakes in spelling
Would online NR articles be good toilet paper for my daughter’s electronic bird?
Did his rich donors pushed Cruz to....
1. Push TPA in Senate
2. Corker Bill “yea” vote
3. Increase H1B visas by 500%
Anti-Trumpters are controlled by rich donors.
