This article is kind of old, but the type of behavior we've been observing in Ted also happened in the senate.

Specifically that he randomly lies for personal gain even when the people he's lying about are his friend.

Nobody likes habitual liars.

Well, Red Wulf, you are exactly correct! (a little Cruifer lingo ;-) What is Ted Cruz’ real father actually was the Father of Lies?

Now Molly Ball is credible here?

I’m with Cruz on this one even though I’m a Trump supporter. Mike Lee is naive to believe liberal judges not use this legislation to early release criminals

I’m wondering whether Trump purposely plotted a campaign strategy where his one-on-one would be with Cruz and not Rubio—I don’t know how he would have accomplished that—maybe by forfeiting certain states that he would win-

Regardless, this man has got to be the worst candidate I have ever seen. And this is before the media has even attacked him. This whole Carly 500K, the sex scandal where she deflected the question—everything else is just being ignored—while Trump has had to deal with constant criticism-race cards-—violence—from the so called conservative media and the mainstream media.

The article doesn't actually use the words lie, lying, or liar about Ted Cruz. It says that he misrepresented the intent and probable effects of a bill that would have released some people from prison.

Of course the reason that we sometimes have overly harsh sentencing laws is because of similar grandstanding by lots of other politicians. This behavior is what politicians do all the time to stand out and make a name for themselves.

So basically the article is saying that:

1. Cruz is just another grandstanding politician.
2. He is ambitious enough to walk over any of his fellow congress members to do his grandstanding.

I am tired of the talk radio circuit pushing this myth that he is an “outsider” because he is not liked in the Senate. I don’t really consider that proof of an outsider—filibustering or getting in a verbal tussle with Mitch McConnell.

Its almost like the narrative is that there are 99 liberals in the Senate and Ted Cruz is the only conservative, thus he is hated.

What is more of a determination of whether he is an outsider would be the positions he takes. However, his platform is really identical to your typical Republican party candidate and positions.

He lies with the ease of BJC

[Wingy]

Man, I guess he spits on little old ladies and kicks puppies too. Look guys, Trump will win the nomination and I’m sure you folks are high fiving and having a great ole time. In your place I would be. But don’t you think enough is enough? “Piling on” is the phrase that comes to mind.

[Democrats hate too much]

Cruz has no respect for himself (because he knows himself more than anyone, he knows the lying from family to canidate)... How can respect anyone who fell for it?

Ironic that Cruz burned so many bridges with his words and actions, then he has the nerve to berate Trump for "unhelpful rhetoric" when he states that Islam hates us.

For someone who claims to be an outsider, Cruz sure seems to believe that what is good for him is taboo for others....
