One last try...

Cruz is delusional if he thinks he will be able to best Trump as a sitting President in the 2020 primaries. Therefore, Cruz needs Trump to lose so he can run in four years.

This has been a theory advanced by numerous political writers and pundits over the past week or two.

Hardspunned cited the theory, envisioning Cruz’s gambit to be effective as opined about by so many, and added the fact that Hillary (if given the chance) will complete the destruction of the nation.

You interpreted that statement to be a wish on Hardspunned’s part. I do not read it that way - the comment was more on Cruz’s evident scenario than Hardspunned’s desire.

I have no issues whatsoever with calling out those who espouse liberal attitudes and desires. I just do not see it as equitable in this instance, FRiend.

LOL.

You need to step back and look at the whole conversation we are discussing, which is predicated on numerous pundits and commentators making points illustrating how Ted is trying to set himself up for 2020 - when Trump would be an incumbent President.

I simply think you have glommed onto a nonsensical interpretation of the comments your are objecting to.

At any rate, I wish you a pleasant evening, my FRiend.

Cruz was never to be allowed nomination. He was intended to be allowed only as far to be Jeb’s VP running mate only.

This is covert Bush infiltration.

trump swallowers.

I don't know if my reply will reach you before you ride the lightning for uttering that slur, but in case it does, I just want to thank you for outing yourself as an unrepentant Cruzlim.

“Cruz’ people sent pic of Melania before Utah, IMO implying she was loose or trashy; it appears by the photos I have seen that Cruz Sr WAS hanging out with Oswald. Trump did not start it with Cruz.”

Cruz had nothing to do with that picture of Melania. It was done by a group of Mormons who raised a little bit of money because they considered Trump vulgar. It has been looked at and looked at. It wasn’t Cruz.

Don’t say Cruz started it.

For debate after debate Cruz kept trying to stay out of it when Trump and the others went after each other. He put up with being called a liar for week after week, month after month.

Admittedly Cruz stayed out of the fight because he thought Trump would fade and he’d inherit his support, so he did it for his own benefit , not Trump’s.

But don’t say Cruz started it. That’s just nonsense.

And it was up to Trump to make peace with Cruz, or he should have kept him off the stage.

“numerous pundits and commentators making points illustrating how Ted is trying to set himself up for 2020”

Cover and deflection puppet, for the plan of Jeb 2020.
Covert Bush operation, for either 2020/2024 following election of their “sister-in-law.”

You live in a fairy tale land. Cruz attacked Trump BEFORE Utah with his NY values BS.

Cruz started it.

Trump warmed him before “he better not!”

But Cruz attacked first.

Cruz diehards think this betrayal sets him up to run in 2020.
I kid you not!

>I have to say I will vote trump over hillary. But if someone ridiculed my wife for her looks and accused my father for accomplice for JFK murder he would have teeth missing and bloody nose and two black eyes tonight. Ted was more reserved than me. Why would Trump supporters expect someone so abused to support trump?. Ted Cruz is a better man than I am tonight And better than all the trump swallowers.

Cruz attacked Trump’s wife first. And Cruz’s dad was running around calling Trump the devil or some such. When you attack someone the they tend to attack back. And yes I expected Cruz to keep his word about supporting Trump. Or course his name is Lyin Ted.

* Someone who held so much promise. Er.......what promise?
* His adult judgement center was switched off. Hm........?
Cold reality. The cruzer has spent 99% of his existence in DC and the remaining 1% in the womb.
He is an establishment flunky as well as a sore loser w/o honor. As Ko-Ko (Mikado) sang “He never will be missed.” Bye bye asshole! Retry Canada!!!!

Your word isn’t worth anything either. Thanks for the warning.

Betrayal IS historically a successful political strategy though..

>4. Whatever Cruz wanted for his endorsement, Trump was not willing to give him. That’s fine if the price was too high, but if no deal could be made, Cruz shouldn’t have been allowed to speak. At the least he should have been moved to 3 pm.

It’s far more likely that they cut a deal and Cruz lied. He’s done that a lot in the senate.

Ted Cruz is a small, bitter, and repugnant loser.

Donald Trump is not only the bigger man, he is the better Christian.
