The best thing Cruz could do to save our Republic AND save himself politically would be to make the equivalent of a Nixon ‘Checkers’ speech, confess each and every one of his wrong doings, admit that his behavior has been abominable, his ego had taken over, but he cannot in good conscience allow Hillary Clinton to effectively become Obama’s third term, and that he will do all he can to support and see Donald Trump elected as President of the United States.
That would earn him a LOT of credit across the board. At this point he’s got nowhere to go but UP, I wouldn’t bet a plugged nickel on his chances of even being re-elected in 2018 unless he can re-invent himself.
Ted Cruz was no hope at all. Do try to get over it.
Thanks for all that, although I do not recall asking for your help.
You don’t need to ask. You posted on FR and any of us can feel free to respond. If you want a secret private forum you will have to try someplace else.
You don't work with politicians much, do you?
Too bad Peter Lorre's no longer with us. He'd be perfect playing Cruz
BOL!
+1!
“Concern that Ted Cruzs silence might hurt Trump implies the belief that Trump is extremely vulnerable.”
Extremely vulnerable? Of course he is. He has the entire stupid, deranged left against him and the majority of the mealy-mouthed Republicans who have their heads so far up their butts that they’re peering out of their belly buttons. The media is 100% anti-Trump 24/7, and they’ve finally figured out that the best way to hurt him isn’t to give him any exposure, while constantly promoting The Witch as God’s gift to little children, flowers and the continued existence of humankind. Vulnerable? You bet. On an optimistic day, I like to think that we-the-people know better - but we-the-people also elected Obama to a second term, too. I have NO confidence that America won’t elect Hillary because it thinks it would be “neat” to have a woman as President.
Smoke and mirrors...Good cop, bad cop...Cruz is one of them right down to the bone...
Gee, thanks again...although it’s a shame your contributions weren’t more substantive. Maybe that will change for you in the future.
Sure, I’m stating the obvious. Why is it so difficult for you to grasp these points?
Probably working on his 2018 re-election campaign. And likewise, I’m waiting for his primary opponent to emerge.
Cruz has not been the stand up person I thought him to be. He should back Donald Trump and keep the election honest. I am from Texas and I vote.
You Trump people are so disgusting I am not sure I will vote for him. If he is anywhere near as nasty as you guys maybe Hillary would be better. Have to think about this one. Maybe Trump supporters are a bunch of haters.
There is no way conservatives can unite with attitudes like this. We will see.
Who cares?
I never cared where Waldo was.
Sounds like Joe McCarthy, eh? Maybe thats Teds role now - Joe II?
Fat fingers. Meant to type:
Thanks for that link. Ted took it to Jeh.
The biggest battles were fought on that Eastern Front and decimated a huge number of Germany’s best troops. About 4 million killed. It was the largest collision of forces in military history.
If those troops had been available in the west it’s very unlikely that we could have succeeded in mounting a successful invasion.
‘If Cruzs authentic conservative brand is hurt by association with Trump, it will be hurt just as much if not more by association with the Jonah Goldbergs and the Bill Kristols of the world. ‘
And let’s not forget that Modern Prophet from Planet Kolob, Glenn Beck
