This is just pathetic from Cruz. Is there anyone who really believes that a GOPe that invested $130 million in Jeb Bush — before Trump even announced — is giving up on Jeb now? They are running 25 million in ads in NH this week alone for El Jebbe. C’mon Ted...please just stop this.
>>This is just pathetic from Cruz.<<
Why is it pathetic? The establishment prefers someone they can cut deals with to maintain the status quo. Cruz, with his ethanol pronouncement, has made it clear that he will stand on principle.
Trump, with his ethanol support, has made it clear that he’ll deal and to hell with conservative principles.
That doesn’t mean that Trump doesn’t have principles though. He just might not hold dear the principles his supporters expect. That apparently won’t stop them from supporting him, although I did notice they tended to avoid the ethanol thread in here recently.
I guess what I don’t get is why Trump supporters don’t understand that Cruz will be a much more reliable backer of the very ideas that Trump gets credit for supporting, i.e., taking on the powers that be and getting back to constitutional government again. Virtually everything Trump rails against, Cruz is against, with the obvious exception of Trump’s rants on women and minorities.
I love the Jeb! freight train ad. Someone needs to edit it to show it going over the bridge that is out just ahead.
