We really disagree about that, and I adduce support from Rush Limbaugh, who has pointed out repeatedly since last fall that the Rove/GOP-e crowd have zero use for Ted Cruz; their guys all along have been Yeb! and Marco Rubio.
McConnell even criticized Kasich the other day for staying in; he and other GOP-e's are burning Kasich as "selfish" for staying in. (Being called "selfish" by Mitch McConnell is like being called a whore by the Mayflower Madam.)
No, Cruz isn't part of that bunch, I don't care what tales out of school you've heard.
I will reply to your two previous posts at some future point.
In this post, we shall agree to disagree. This is not a full response, as it is 4:40 am here, but suffice it to say, for now: I suspect we could debate this for hours/days/forever : )
IMO, it is ALL a ruse, save for Mr. Trump. That’s the conclusion I come to, in an attempt to put the puzzle pieces together so as to make sense out of what we see.
When people read articles, or listen to speakers, they process what is being said, along with tone, delivery, etc., and come to conclusions with respect to credibility, agreement, etc. We all react differently to information presented to us, thus the differing schools of thought.
As someone who was a total devotee for many years, I find Rush has zero credibility. Having outgrown him, I haven’t listened to him for years. Nevertheless, it is disappointing to realize how GOPe he is, and may have always been.
I find Mr. Rove to be an arrogant plotter for the elite’s benefit. Thus, one imagines him with his big chessboard of characters, his pawns each playing their parts over the long-term, not just in the election cycle.
We can but guess what each pawn’s role is within each plan. My sense is that the Rubio/Cruz were meant to be 2nd stringers, in the event of a fail on the part of the 1st string. Cruz has a reportedly superb talent at being able to persuasively debate both sides of an issue. I think years ago, Rove tagged him with the responsibility to hook in those pesky conservatives. I suspect Sarah Palin and Phyllis Schlafly “got his number”, and thus endorsed Mr. Trump. As others have documented numerous examples of his GOPe voting record, I will leave it at that.
I personally find Cruz repellent and offensive in the extreme, and as such, can read his comments but can not abide seeing and hearing him pontificate. The written source that documents and makes the best sense to me is The Conservative Treehouse. I find his political analysis of strategy to be profoundly fascinating and most credible.
Now that Mr. GOPe Romney has come out from the shadows, it puts Cruz in an interesting position. Which side will he take? Will he echo GOPe Romney’s talking points? Or will he still position himself as the outsider?
Regardless, for me, everything I see/read confirms my initial reluctance toward backing Cruz.
Now it’s 4:50am and time to check out!
