2) There was a time when Peter King of New York was regarded with great contempt here at Free Republic.

Remember when Rush and Levin were conservative?

Yes, Cruz is hopeless.

Why hasn’t he dropped out yet?

He lost and is in denial, living in fantasyland.

Most delegates in the party establishment hate his guts. He can’t win on the first ballot and sure as hell won’t win on the second.

Just go home, Ted.

It had nothing to do with Cruz. Politically, it was a loser.

He is the most conservative and constitutional politician in DC now or has been in decades. The one person real conservatives have been looking for in decades and we end up with a con-man, no different than Obama, that the GOP is going to nominate to be their candidate. Trump has admitted to lying since he entered the race. He has changed direction on virtually everything he has campaigned on. Let’s face it, until donnie showed up with his lying campaign promises Cruz was your first choice around here, by far. But now he is the scum of the earth?

Trump has attempted to destroy the character of a fine senator from Texas, a senator that has done exactly what he promised us he would do if elected. And that is to not go along to get along with those we despise in DC. No back slapping, glad handing making deals and compromising with the enemy. Now that is terrible in your view? You are mad because he would not make deals? Give in to the establishment whom you claim he is a part of but in actuality they hate him only slightly less than Trump?

So what you are saying is you really want a piece of clay that can be molded and changed to go along to get along? You don’t care about his morals about murdering babies, perverted men in you daughters bathrooms, raising your taxes, not deporting illegals after all(by letting them back in thru the big open door in that might be wall?)

Texas will re-elect Senator Cruz as long as he wants to represent us. He is the first and only politician in my life time that has done exactly as he said and his constituents expected. He has had little if any support from his fellow republicans because they are snakes of the same color as the democrats, something we supposedly abhor but apparently not. You want somebody that Peter King likes.

I would not vote for donnie to suck out my septic tank.

AND, if there is any doubt about the FR official policy ...

Cruz is underperforming. He has no shot at 1237. He can’t WIN the nomination. The only thing he can accomplish at this point is destroy the party and therefore allow Hillary to win and to destroy the nation.

Cruz is no conservative. He does not put America first. If he did, he would concede and save the nation a whole lot of turmoil. We need to stop the destruction and unite against Hillary.

Yet you in your profile picture are denigrating Cruz as part of the establishment.

You Trump supporters just say anything at any time.

One minute its this, next minute its the opposite.

You’re crazy.

Ted inhaled cocaine, and talks about it. I guess that’s what “A Time For Truth” means.

The media loved it when Trump was "going after" Republicans, and they lovingly amplified his attacks. Just wait until he "goes after" their sacred cow, Hillary. You will see the greatest cacophony of anti-Trump howling since Hurricane Sandy blew through NYC. Now matter what "language" he speaks, it will be drowned out.

The People will still continue to hear it - it was what pushed him to the top in the first place.

That said, it will increase (as it would increase against Cruz if he were to get the "nod with a wink" nomination too). Trump has weathered assaults from all side so far - no reason to believe he would fall over in the General.

Difference between making deals and getting support.

You can mislead uninformed but spare me with that bs.

Also, if you think shutting the government down is truly a good idea, how about making sure you have a little support for it first?

So one US Senator stands up and keeps his commitment to his constituents to limit the size and scope of the federal govenment, while all the other GOP cowards who ran against Obamacare in 2012 having already voted against Obamacare in 2010 sat on their asses, an you side with the GOP cowards. On one side there is a profile in courage, the other a profile in cowardice.

The reason "Obama won" was because the GOPe surrendered the power of the purse. One of many from McConnell, Boner, and the rest of the liberal RINOs.

You're itching for a ZOT ain't ya?

Take a number for faster service.

OR, just do your opus, be done with it, and beat feet down the street.

Jersey, FR has lost their collective minds. You are right Peter King was despised for being all the things that Conservatives hate. And who did he despise the most? Ted Cruz. Now he is a voice of reason and maturity here on FR for Conservative ideals because he hates Cruz and supports Kasich or Trump.

FReepers have sold their souls because collectively some NY Liberal stated "We will build a wall and Mexico will pay for it". When we all know it's BS.

If he kept his commitment, it would still be shut down.

You want videos of Raphael Cruz discussing tithing? I guess Ted was unaware of such sermons.

“There was a time when Peter King of New York was regarded with great contempt here at Free Republic. “

He still is, at least in our household. That said, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. With King, maybe he’s right one a year or so, but even he knows a worthless POS like Cruze when he sees him! You might want to take some of your own “advice” and make better use of whatever you call that region between your own ears, because Cruze IS A LIAR!
