LOL Cruzlims!

Yap, Romney, Neil Bush, Abrams, Haley, Rube, and soon Jeb!
All on the “OUTSIDER” Cruz bus. Only thing outside about Cruz is he was born OUTSIDE of United States as a Canadian citizen.

I think he does. I think he’s known it all along.

As soon as he voted for the Corker Bill his disguise became transparent.

He is just another actor in the kabuki theater.

“It’s hard to beat Trump’s team of “I watch tv news.”

Cute. That “I watch tv news” team features General Michael Flynn, the recently retired head of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Cruz...Lying Cruz! Who knew that he lives up to this and supports in his name? CFR...really? CFR is anethema to EVERYTHING our country, our Constitution represents. Cruz knows this and his affiliations defy what he tells you! This is why Sarah does not support him...Lying Ted... Not just for amusement, sadly the truth.

Cruz is a stealth candidate of the Washington Political Class of professional corrupt career politicians. He's just another one.

The only thing "outsider" about him is that he's a Cuban born in Canada, smuggled illegally into the USA as a child and is not remotely a U.S. natural born citizen.

I’ll wager good old El Rushbo will completely ignore this. It doesn’t fit his bogus narrative of Cruz being “the only principled conservative.”

am I the only one asking if this is premature posturing? and why having a bevy of security consultants in place is a new litmus test for primary candidates?

Well Sessions is a Trump advisor who sits on the Armed Services Committee so my guess is that you’re right.

You know, I have to confess, it was a hard pill for me to swallow as well.

I have admired Ted Cruz since he was elected to the senate just like many others.

Followed his campaign and heard him on Mark Levin’s show a number of times, then of course followed him in then senate as well.

And then things started to occur that just didn’t fit. These things were explained away with fairly tortured and hard to follow reasons by Cruz himself.

Still, I supported him in spite of those things.

But watching him in this campaign, how he has conducted himself, with my alarms first sounding in Iowa with him, and who he has allied with along the way.

Something ain’t right.

When I look at the whole picture, he’s one of them.

He’s just another Trey Gowdy. Lots of bark, no bite. The agenda will always advance in the end.

His purpose is to make Americans think that one of them is on our side, and our vote matters, when in reality no one is on our side, and our vote doesn’t matter.

Heads they win, tails we lose. That’s the name of the game.

No one is trying to stop Cruz.

Everyone is trying to stop Trump.

As for the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, her husband the former president, Bill, is a CFR member, as is their daughter, Chelsea.

What does it take to join the CFR? Do you just have to pay an annual membership fee?

There are going to be a lot of disappointed Cruz supporters after they realize they were duped. Of course they are still in denial mode right now and refuse to accept the realities.
