Cruz COULD have sued about the story on his father being around Oswald for some reason. Ditto for Amanda Carpenter being around Cruz in the wee hours and in the morning for some reason. But he hasn’t.

This fraud would rather itch, moan and complain about Trump winning... Truth be told Ted Cruz could NOT withstand 'discovery'... He is the biggest fraud to come out of Texas since LBJ.

This is a good indicator that the wheels have come off the neverTrump wagon. But notice how Cruz put everyone who opposes Hillary through maximum pain to get to this moment. As long as a convention uprising was a possibility, Cruz didn’t care how much he helped Hillary by keeping that plot alive. Now that the stake has finally been driven through the heart of that, ‘let’s get Hillary elected,’ scheme, Cruz wants some convention limelight.

He is not to be trusted ; he does not have the country’s best interests at heart.

Bigger fraud I think. At least LBJ was born in Texas.

He could have, but he is a competent lawyer and has heard of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964).

That particular case makes it effectively impossible for any public figure, to include Senators running for President, to sue for libel, slander or defamation. To include the BS about affairs and his father.

Cruz (and I as a supporter of his) have every reason to dislike and distrust Trump. However I believe that Trump, for all his manifest flaws, is infinitely preferable to Clinton. Defeating her comes first, nothing can interfere with that. If this report is true, and I hope it is, Cruz has come to a similar conclusion.

There is plenty of time for Trump and Cruz to face off AFTER the witch and her flying monkey entourage are forced out of Washington.

‘Defeating her comes first, nothing can interfere with that. If this report is true, and I hope it is, Cruz has come to a similar conclusion.’

He certainly had to agonize over that decision long enough. For conservatives, the goal of defeating Hillary is an effort we can sign onto in under a nanosecond. For Cruz, it takes more time.

I suppose you are correct. Strange thing how thoroughly Ted Cruz has perverted the literal meaning of 'conservatism'. AND there is NO way to demonstrate with 'facts' to his dumbed down supporters what a wild ride he has taken them on. I am suppose to 'feel' sorry for those that believe lies, but I am NOT there yet. Harvard Law school ought to be a 'red' flag to any that come claiming 'conservatism'. Geeze one would think after these nearly past 8 years Americans would catch on... but not all.

it’s the Kool-Aid drinking fans of his

At least we are not drinking White Lightning moonshine like you obviously are. The affects are loss of brain cells. For your information, I was a Cruz fan before I drank the "Kool-Aid", it was cherry red and delicious and not laced with a thing. Cruz was offering curdled milk which I couldn't get past my nose. Save your money Mirvin, Trump and his "Kool-Aid" drinkers will get it done without the snarky likes of you, or Cruz.

This turkey sign out of his campaign, entertaining the repeat of 1976 campaign in the name of Ronald Reagan. There is absolutely NOTHING similar or alike Ted Cruz and Ronald Reagan... Cruz is a self absorbed narcissist... coming in the cloth of the Clintons..... HE is a joke and a fraud...

Funny to (still) see a handful of folks confusing incompetence for brilliance.

All the while his people are spearheading the NeverTrump movement and trying to overthrow Trump at the convention. Unless he’s going to fulfill his pledge, I wouldn’t have him speak. If he doesn’t endorse Trump and speaks for only his own political aspirations, then that will only cause more division.

“Anybody think like I do that this country started going to hell after they murdered JFK?”

I do. And I think that in 200 years the history books will say that was the coup de’tat in America and that a mostly fascist/intelligence cabal took over America’s government.

Oh yeah, I can see that.

Approaching the podium in order will be, Lying-Ted, followed by Low-Energy-JEB, then capped off by Paul "May-I-Rub-Your-Cankles, Hillary?" Ryan (D).

Hello Jane, I hope you are doing well.... I have had my fill of these whiners for the fraud Ted Cruz... They are the most tunneled visioned people I have yet to encounter.... I lived through Ronald Reagan, and he loved this nation.... Ted Cruz a self absorbed jerk loves himself.... and has peed on our Constitution, when he could have been a ‘national’ hero.... YES, I am fed up with the fakes.

I just met a Cruz supporter who told me, with maximum condescension, that Cruz was never a Canadian citizen. He had to pretend to renounce a citizenship he never had so that clueless, not-too-smart people such as myself would be satisfied, but Cruz himself had never held anything but US citizenship.

And they speak to us of Kool-Aid...

“He could have, but he is a competent lawyer and has heard of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964).”

That was a surveillance photo of Oswald. I guarantee everyone in the photo, working WITH him, was identified.
So why has nobody come out and tell us who it was? It was his dad.

Cruz supporters are saps. AND the last thing on their agenda is the original intent of our Constitution... Funny thing, Larry Tribe, one of Teddy's 'law' professors, says that ol Teddy made a 'name' for himself claiming he followed the 'original' intent of our Constitution.... NONE, absolutely NONE call the fake, Harvard Law schooled grad, follows the 'original' intent. Ted Cruz and our current president along with Mitt Romney are Harvard Law Schooled grads.... I say we close down Harvard and Yale law schools as qualifications to hold the office of president. Bunch of liars and perverts of our Constitution.

Cruz is a backstabbing, fare weather friend. The best way to deal with him is to ignore him and let him fade away.

+1

Cruz could look you in the eye and explain that a Natural Born Canadian citizen is EXACTLY what the Framers had in mind for POTUS. If you didn’t believe him, he’d have his followers explain to you how ignorant/not-very-bright you are.
