Serious question - if Cruz gets the White House, what do you think he’ll owe all his big money donors and the Establishment for their backing? You think Cruz will be able to take on the very Washington cartel he hopped into bed with?
You're right on all points, but especially about the Cruz phone call to Graham, Cruz must have told him he was ready to play and go along with whatever the GOP wants, just get him in front of Trump... Innuendo and Expediency - hallmarks of the Cruz campaign.
The convention talk dates to when they thought the delegates would be much more split between multiple candidates. The MSM is just too stupid to realize what they’re looking at when they see delegate breakdowns.
If you don't mind and have the time could you explain this delegate stuff to me and also the suicide mission. I do not see this stuff clearly at all. Thanks!!
Endorsements from any fellow Senators will go against CRUZ.
People do not want the good old boy network anymore, They want rid of them.
my first guess is lord McCain...
Mike Lee already said that if Rubio were not in the race he’d endorse Cruz.
I wouldn’t call that much of an endorsement.
So Trump and his minions have been constantly repeating the line about Cruz being so unlikable that he couldn’t even get any of his fellow senators to endorse him. Now all we will hear from them is how these endorsements just “prove” that Cruz is really an “establishment” candidate.
Some people will find some way to criticize anything.
I suspect Cruz will get Mike Lee and Ben Sasse...
So since Sessions endorsed Trump, that makes him an insider?
Yes, because calling the Senate Majority Leader a liar on the floor of the senate is how all GOPe acolytes behave.
If Cruz Reagan gets the White House, what do you think he’ll owe all his big money donors and the Establishment for their backing? You think Cruz Reagan will be able to take on the very Washington cartel he hopped into bed with?
If this doesn’t convince Cruz is in bed with the gope and will do anything to win, nothing will. The fraud senators want to “preserve the republican party” and Cruz wants to help them. But they’re not interesting in preserving this country.
I’ve never in my life seen a party campaign so hard, and spend money, against a candidate running on their ticket.
They want to preserve the party? Nominating Cruz, or anyone, through fraud and dirty tricks will destroy the gop and I hope that happens. And once they’ve used Cruz and then dropped him “like a hot rock” he can stay with them as far as I’m concerned.
Rubio will endorse him after he drops out. Cruz has already endorsed Rubio.
What has taken Mike Lee so long? Is he afraid he’ll piss McCain and Graham off and they won’t like him anymore or something?
They’ll push STOP HILLARY until lots and lots of Cruz and Trump delegates switch votes to the gopE’s candidate.
+ Thad Cochran, Juan, Orrin Hatch, Murkey
Orrin Hatch is out to “get” Lee.
What would you say about Trump if four senators from the establishment endorsed him? Personally, I’d say “It’s all been a trick.” But what would you say?
Probably will include Mike Lee, and possibly Rand Paul, just my hunch.
“Unfortunately, they’ll be branded as GOPe lackeys by the usual suspects here.”
You mean like how Sessions was branded a “Judas” by the usual Cruz people here?
Let me guess...”I never saw anyone say that!!!”, right?
” repeating the line about Cruz being so unlikable that he couldn’t even get any of his fellow senators to endorse him.”
The fact that they are only doing so because they hate Trump and want to use Cruz to stop him, is ignored by you....why?
So you can ease yourself into the loving embrace of the Gope Senate?
Yep, it’s the old Trump/Hillary “Heads I Win, Tails You Lose” coin. I haven’t heard any of the Senators say they thought Cruz is malleable, though.
