Damn straight he is! Standing on the floor of the Senate and telling the Leader he was a liar to his face is textbook meek.
Freaking beta male behavior if I ever saw it.
Go back to watching "Keeping up with the Kardashians" everyone.
If someone gave you a mansion with a spot on the kitchen floor, you’d complain about the spot. Assuming your accusation is even worth answering, which given your agenda it probably isn’t.
All you know how to do is accuse, accuse, accuse. A Trump who knows how to manage would be far more friendlier to “the family” than a Cruz who does not.
Go ahead and cram a deeply conservative colored round peg into a square hole if you must. But don’t complain about the consequences, like what leaks around the peg.
He has no fire and energy when the pressure is really on. Almost any politician can give an impassioned speech to a fired up crowd. It takes moxy to shove your way into things the way that FioRINO does. Cruz is just too sleepy to be bothered with it."
This is one of the dumbest posts I have ever seen here. Only someone completely unfamiliar with Cruz and his career to date could say such a thing.
I see you like Fiorina, though. Not surprising.
CANCERvatives have a record of chest beating and then voting for the guy thats not the most conservative.
They kill from within. If they wanted a conservative they would vote for one. It’s that simple.
Then politely ask him to stop sitting on the sidelines and start reeving people up.
Worth repeating...I like Cruz...but cruising at 6 or 7 % ain’t gonna cut it.
One mouse told another mouse off? That makes the first one a cat?
Go polish your halo with some baby parts HiTek.
Ah, a world of interchangeable bots is more typical of a liberal worldview than of a conservative one.
Explain the basis behind this accusation (I bet you won’t)
Threads like these are quite revealing and instructive.
I think he's wrong on the H1B issue, but I can tell you why the TPP vote was a conservative vote.
Treaties are hard to get approved under our form of government. That's good, because it was designed to be that way from the beginning. The problem with negotiating a trade treaty, or any other kind of treaty for that matter is that you can't submit the text to congress if they congress can then amend the terms of the treaty as a part of the ratification process. Any change that congress might make would mean the treaty has to be resubmitted in this amended form to the other signatories for this to be ratified. There is just no way to do that without the entire process becoming completely unraveled. So instead of doing that, what happens is the President gets negotiating authority which basically sets the ground rules for the ratification of the treaty. Generally this means that it will be submitted to the congress for a flat up/down vote without amendments. That's what the TPP vote was about. This is something that every president has had for the last hundred years.
It is the exact same kind of authority that a President Cruz would want as well, and I think that he believed it would be wrong to vote against that authority even with the current occupant, and then ask for the same kind of authority if he were to be come President. It's a case of not wanting to be justifiably called hypocritical on the issue.
WHat I disagree with regarding the TPP deal was that over the past many years congress has accepted the legal fiction that these negotiated treaties are "agreements" instead of what they are, which means that because it is not a "treaty" it doesn't require a 2/3rd supermajority in order to be ratified. To me, this is just flat wrong, but it seems that this level of honesty is just simply non-existant in today's feral government at any level.
What Cruz should have done, is supported the ratification ground rules of getting a straight up/down vote without amendment, but opposed the fiction of it being called an "agreement" instead of the treaty that it is, and thus requiring the 2/3rd threshold for ratification.
They are mind numbing thought limiting non sequitur filled pat-self-on-back exercises for “some”
You mentioned halos and polishing them. You based your godliness on voting for a guy that profits from the abortion industry.
Do the math.

Oh I think they revealed everything about themselves some time ago.
You should seek professional help, then.
If I recall correctly, his response to the selling of baby parts was “bemusement”.
