Here is what I believe. Fredo just trumped himself.
Cruz is about to enter into his future. He can look forward to being shunned in the US Senate, like never before, this time with the public backing it, given no chairmanships, and doubtless he will be primaried in Texas, for his senate seat.
He can look forward to being treated like TRUMP has been treated. Totally alone, despised by all media but for a handful, by both parties, and wholly rejected by donors galore. But, with none of the grace and charisma of TRUMP, he won’t come out on top, but fall from grace and over the cliff.
Cruz sat on upwards of 90 million dollars, poured in by Wall Street globalists and has a buff professional team left over. He will run again for prez on that machine of his. But, next time he will not have the stream lined path to the nomination he thought he had this year. All that money, all that ground game, all that team, and he got creamed.
Now he has even shrunk his voter base by at least 60% all by himself. He never collected all the Evangelicals he thought he bagged. And, with a good shunning, it will shrink some more.
Next time, he will be despised by voters as well as donors who hopefully will be energized across the nation to fuel his opponents at his every turn. Grassroots, like me, will work for his opponent. The media will ride him out of town, including Texas media, in Dallas and Houston and Austin and San Antonio.
Cruz calculated that he had this 2016 nomination either in the bag, or Jeb would win and find a spot for him to run again, in 2020.
Cruz is too narcissistic to even internalize what the hell he has done to himself.
[Cruz thinks he has] permission to do absolutely whatever they want since they are in a “righteous” cause.
My answer: It’s pretty close to being a certifiable nut job, really. I’ve seen it before and it is not pretty.
“Cruz is too narcissistic to even internalize what the hell he has done to himself.”
That about sums it up.
You’ve got to be pathologically narcissistic to do what Ted did last night, then turn around and double down on it the very next day.
As I commented on another thread, he helped no one but Hillary with that divisive speech.
Get out, Ted, and never come back.
