When one looks at Cruz and Trump from before they ran for President, what did one see?
Cruz = a life long consistent history and past that reflects that he is a man of honor, principles, convictions and morality. He does what he says he will do, he stands on principles, he isn’t swayed or coerced into doing something that he doesn’t believe is the right thing. He has a solid marriage, isn’t a known philanderer, isn’t known for doing underhanded things, and quite the contrary, is known for standing for the rule of law and upholding the Constitution. Before running for President, most people thought of Cruz as a hero, one of the few in our government who was actually fighting for WE THE PEOPLE, and doing what he was elected to do. He was revered among voters, and hated among his peers/politicians.
He ran for Senate in 2012 against an establishment elite, who had tons of money and influence. During that race, David Dewhurst threw everything but the kitchen sink at Ted Cruz. IF Ted had a past that was dirty, IF Ted is the sleazy, underhanded guy that Trump and his followers are making him out to be, Dewhurst would have found it and used it. Ted has already been vetted, hard core, and nothing of real substance was found. Ted won the Senate seat, against all odds.
So, we’re being made to believe this man who has a consistent history, as explained above, suddenly in the last 3 years, has become a corrupted, philandering, lying, sneaky, smarmy villain, out to get the American people and pretty much achieve the very exact opposite from what he’s always stood for.
VERSUS
Donald Trump = has a lifelong history, past and record, of being a little rich kid who always has gotten his way, and attacks and tears down those who oppose him. An attention seeker, who loves the spotlight, loves controversy, and loves being at the center of it. He has known ties to corrupt politician and some in the mob, by “making deals” and getting things done, at any and all costs. He has a record of cheating people, screwing the little guy, and doing whatever is necessary to get himself to the top. He is known for his arrogant pride and for being a sleazy businessman. Before running for President, most people thought of Trump, as a joke, brushing off things he said and not taking anything he said seriously.
Trump has a record of switching parties, switching opinions, funding Democrats and Republicans and various other groups, in order to get “favors” (as he bragged). Trump sees no problem using loopholes in the law, to get around things, or take advantage of the system, to his gain. Trump has been married 3 times. His personal affairs, relationship failures and promiscuities have been in the media for years. He often speaks proudly of his conquests. And his record on how he treats women is atrocious.
Aside from several business successes, Trump has also been known for many of his failed business ventures. Trump is involved in many legal disputes and is being sued by numerous people for fraud and/or misrepresentations. He’s also been called out on many of his lies and scams that he’s tried over the years and the many times he’s flipped and flopped over many issues, time and again.
And we’re supposed to believe Trump is now an honest, above the board, sincere, trustworthy man of principles and convictions who isn’t capable of doing anything underhanded or sleazy? And as well, someone who is a man of his word now, and can be believed to do as he says?
Sorry, but when both of these mens past, record and history, are taken into account, I think the upside down thinking involved in order to fit the slander and smear agenda against Cruz and to support and praise Trump, is not only delusional, but completely illogical and unbelievable.
Yup it’s quite funny seeing it come back on Trump.
If you are more concerned about where Ted sucked on his mother’s tit, than saving the country.....rock on.
All I can say is mommy to the rescue....she is no better than he is!!
Well, that is part of the Constitution.
I think it works against Cruz because lately every sentence he utters begins with the word “Donald”. I honestly haven’t heard him talk about anything except “Donald” in the past 2 weeks (maybe more). He is making the same mistake Rubio and Bush made....probably with the same results.
It depends on the what the meaning of “sekshul relations” is.
We know from one of his girlfriends that doing it sitting up in the front seat of a pickup truck is okay, because the Bible says “you shall not lie with a woman” who is not your wife.
LMAO-—perfect!!
1) Was Trump charged? No. Was he accused? No.
2) Was Cruz accused? Yes. With good evidence? Remains to be seen, but so far, more “yes” than “no.”
3) Since there is no “concrete proof” that Lewandowski COMMITTED a misdemeanor that you can “cough up,” I suggest you leave it.
No I have not because she, and he, can’t deny it.
The photo was likely purchased months ago and being saved for the ‘ripe moment.’
The Cruz Mistress Crises -#theThing was heavily rumored to be released. So Cruz’s team sent out the Trump photo as a preemptive strike to soften the blowback for Cruz. The bonus was mocking the outrage and being able to blame Trump for retaliatory treatment.
And, there’s proof on the celebrity gossip blogs. The first challenge to find a cheating POTUS candidate was in August 2015. Another challenge was issued (but reworded more specific) in December 2015. Hundreds of comments or tips were sent in to their sleuths. And POTUS was solved to be Cruz 12/15, BTW. Only difference is the mistress was supposed to be a lobbyist. So maybe there’s another guy, yet to be outed. Or maybe a mistress yet to be uncovered.
Team Cruz likely received a 48 hour notice from the Enquirer. That is how they dealt with Sarah Palin’s daughter and Levi Johnson. They informed both families and Sarah was forced to disclose Bristol’s condition. But they did give her the courtesy of the “heads-up.”
But we continue to strain a knat when there is a camel in the mix, and we will choose a celebrity who will have ZERO allies to pass anything, rather than chose the one who knows how to systematically restore the republic. We are only talking about our survival, no biggie.
You say: “Cruz refuses to say he’s been faithful to his wife. Crickets from the media.”
He has already responded to the story with a categorical denial. The mainstream media has found no substance to the story, and all of the alleged women contacted have said absolutely never happened.
So you think Cruz is obligated to keep the story alive by constantly denying it every day??
He’s smart enough to deny the story further oxygen. Cruz plays chess, not checkers.
Can ANYONE on this blog who thinks there’s EVIDENCE against Cruz actually describe what it is that is SO convincing?
All I’ve heard is parroting of the National Enquirer for God’s sake.
