A very good boss of mine taught me years ago to always keep the business business and the personal personal.
Apparently Ted never learned that.
Losing the Second Amendment is a small price to pay in comparison to Hedi’s feelings
I think that at this juncture a later endorsement of Trump by Cruz could actually be more beneficial. If Cruz says something to the effect “I must put county above my personal feelings because Hillary Clinton is such a threat to our democracy” would emphasize just what a disaster a Hillary Clinton presidency would be.
You would think that’s never more true than it is for politics.
Lemme make sure this is clear:
- Cruz surrogates in the superPAC post pics of a near-nude Melania model shoot as an attack on Cruz
- Trump responds with both barrels going after Heidi Cruz’ Goldman Sachs connections and Rafael Cruz’s links to JFK’s assassinations
- Cruz says that Trump going after his family “Abrogates his pledge” to support Trump as the nominee.
So in short, Cruz can dish it out (or have someone dish it out for him) but he can’t take it. I thought Millennials were still too young to run for President?
I just talked to 5 family members in Texas that were Cruz supporters, who now hate the SOB. He is toast!
That first bullet should say “...as an attack on Trump”.
Don’t drink and post, friends.
Amerca was given an up close look at the differences between Cruz and Trump as both men and leaders. Cruz showed himself to be far inferior to Trump in all aspects, and the voters will never elect him to anything again.
Cruz also implied Melania is a slut and do you want that in the White House. I don’t think Trump hit back hard enough.
Ted tried to be the political equivalent of a suicide bomber, but the only person he blew up was himself. Good riddance, Lyin’ Ted.
I agree, I think it could still be done. And, I hope that it happens, for many reasons, not the least of which is the MSM will tirelessly invest time and newscasts on this whole “lack of unity” meme.
Cruz is worthless. The only people paying attention to him are rubberneckers, enjoying the tragic comedy of it all. That and a few ankle-biters.
Pure crap from Rush Limbaugh, justifying and bloodless description of what Cruz did. Ends with, picture of dad must have been AFTER the pledge. F U Rush.
No criticism of Cruz. But I’m not surprised.
I appreciate and respect that he stands on his principles.
But when we’ve had 8 more year of Obama and a total of 16 of the Clintoons, don’t sit back and whine about what you used to have.
It’s about the country.
After violating his pledge, the word of - or endorsement by - Cruz is worthless.
His time in the limelight is over.
Good riddance.
That’s the only way I post .....with a drink in my hand ala Dean Martin....
In my smoking jacket...
On the other side, had Trump made this personal, he would never have given Cruz the chance to speak and would have been criticized for being so thin-skinned and petty. In fact, giving Cruz the rope he chose to use to hang himself with has diminished the number of people who still support him (or even like him) which means there are more potential Trump supporters today than yesterday.
So who’s the brilliant one now?
The Republican establishment despised Ted Cruz for a host of reasons, not least of which was his personal attack on the floor of the Senate, Mitch McConnell.
