Read my post. I am not for Trump.
To blame Ted Cruz for the failure of Roberts is dishonest.
I agree with you entirely. My comments are directed at others, like those who are questioning Cruz’s faith while at the same time accusing him of being holier than thou.
“To blame Ted Cruz for the failure of Roberts is dishonest.”
Trump tried that crap several times blaming Cruz for Obamacare! Absurd!
His twisted logic implies he has pedophile tendencies. When he was 29 his third and present wife was only 5!
I am for Trump.
Yet, I agree totally that it is dishonest to blame Ted Cruz for supporting Roberts for SC justice. We all thought it was a good choice ‘on paper’ and no one should be faulted for failing to anticipate what a disappointment he would turn out to be.
Furthermore, as a Trump supporter, I was very uncomfortable whenever Trump used that against Cruz in the debates.
Remember though, Trump brought up Cruz’s support for Roberts in retaliation for Cruz insisting, time after time, that Trump would nominate liberal judges to the Supreme Court, liberal judges who he said would subvert the 2nd amendment, support partial birth abortion, and a whole litany of far left agendas. By so doing, Cruz was attempting paint Trump as a liberal which was fair game, but as soon as he argued that case it became fair game for Trump to rebut that Cruz had supported Roberts.
As a Trump supporter who believes Trump is strongly pro 2nd amendment, pro life and honestly wishes to nominate originalists in the mold of Scalia, as he says, I was annoyed with Cruz’s sideways attacks on Trump as a liberal, and thought Trump’s rebuttal was very fair in the context of “people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.”
In fact, I must say that Cruz’s ‘clever’ use of implication, entrapment and false association to malign his opponents while all the time appearing civil, is what first turned me off about him. Maybe that’s a cool for a prosecutor in a criminal case or at least other prosecutors think it’s cool, but I don’t like it.
