Very apt description of Cruz. Thank you.
(By the way, have you ever met Dale Guthrie?)
“His twisted logic implies he has pedophile tendencies. When he was 29 his third and present wife was only 5!”
Ant THAT bit of twisted “logic” has convinced me that you are really Glenn Beck.
Bravo !!
Recommendations and op Ed’s do not confirm a nomination. A nomination endorsed by Congress.
All Trump's gotta do is have Lewinsky sitting in the fron row next to someone in a prison jumpsuit. Debate over. Lol.
But as a strategy it obviously didn't work. That that the bible belt found Trumps bombast more appealing is a testament to how p*ssed off people are., which reflects on the utter failure of the GOP in representing its voters over the past several decades.
But the pendulum has swung way too far the other way with some of these folks, they are alienating allies they need, and that will never end well.
Do you mean the The Cowardly Lion? I agree that the contest between Trump and the GOPe and Hillary Clinton has many interesting parallels with McKinley vs. Bryan, with the exception that, unlike the Cowardly Lion, The Donald can bite, and will bite hard.
Fantastic write up
I gave up Steve Desde for Lent.
Is he still a Cruz slappy?
I think there was nothing wrong with Cruz having recommended him. It was said at the time that he was a stealth candidate because so little was known about his conservative /liberal beliefs.
It becomes an issue because Cruz has been repeatedly stating that he is the only candidate in the 2016 election that can be trusted to make conservative supreme court nominations. One of Ted’s problems is that he gets folk’s backs up, which is what he has done in this case. He certainly could have talked about all the things he would look for in a judicial pick and looked very creditable, but he wanted to attack Trump, and in doing so, he succeeded only in making himself look foolish.

......his personality grates on me.
Think Brooklyn, N.Y. He is the classic “street kid” from Brooklyn/Queens. He is brash, loud and obnoxious, but he’s true blue American, and he will never back down. He was raised Presbyterian and went through Confirmation class. That makes him even more sure of himself (he’s already saved in is mind). He grew up in Norman Vincent Peale’s church. Power of Positive Thinking has got him where he is. Someday they will make a great movie about his life.
FWIW, I was voting Cruz until he threw Trump under the bus saying he caused the violence at the Friday night rally. When he didn’t show the intestinal fortitude to blame the RIOTERS for the riots, he was eliminated.
I’m in Ohio.
So tell me what leftist ideas Cruz has?
I never said Ted voted for Roberts.
He did support him and bring him into the Bush “family” though.
Did you read the link I posted with Ted’s oped pushing Roberts?
I think it is reasonable to question Ted’s judgement on someone he knew and worked with.
Freepers only knew what others, including Ted, said about Roberts. None of of knew and worked with him.
I assume this is he actually speaking: William Jennings Bryan's Cross of Gold Speech I have no way of being sure though, because I have never really heard him speak.
//I just dont like the guy./
Years ago, MrR and I got into a huge argument about Glen Beck. I couldn’t stand him and couldn’t put my finger on why I just didn’t like him or trust him. Then I found out he was Mormon.
Same with Cruz. Then things started to add up and the other day I realized he is a political televangelist.
I have the perfect solution. All along Cruz has been my first choice, Trump second, but we need Trump & Cruz to come together somehow to beat off the establishment that is hell bent on picking our candidate and ignoring the voters.
Most likely, Trump has already promised Christie the Atty General spot. Cruz will never leave his Senate seat to be his VP, but I have no doubt he would accept Tump picking him as his Supreme Court candidate to replace Scalia. I would be very happy with this outcome and I think most conservatives would support it. It’s a win-win!
The added benefit is our Texas Governor, Gregg Abbott, would pick a true conservative to finish Cruz’s Senate term. Thoughts?
Ping
More evidence that Cruz speaking up in support for BLM and Move-On protesters hurt him at the polls Tuesday.
