I just wished that something had “hurt” Pat Roberts in the last election. He doesn’t even own property in Kansas, and hasn’t for years. I think he’s the guy who rents a room from someone else in Kansas because he’s there so infrequently.
[[But a true leader accepts responsibility for his people ]]
[[From the article: Look, it was a mistake on our part, we misunderstood the order of the votes.]]
Seems to me he did
[[The one criticism of Cruz that has surprised me is that he hasn’t handled a series of attacks well at all. It started with the Rubio onslaught in December at the debate. ]]
The debate moderators didn’t allow Ted to defend himself- they cut him off as he was trying to defend himself against 11 rapidfire attack points- so the audience was left with the impression that Ted was dumbfounded and blindsided because ‘he couldn’t answer the questions’- never mind that the moderators wouldn’t allow him to defend hismelf
What did Cruz think he was voting for when he voted for TPA?
To eventually facilitate the passing of TPP. Too many inconsistencies with Cruz who is suppose to be a smart guy. Cruz comes with big backer strings attached. He plays games. He’s tried to hide it, a carefully constructed public persona, but this election he’s been under the microscope that is exposing him.
This is what the msm wants. It picks away at DT and Cruz and his Yeb will still be around
Come on folks. Ignore this stuff and focus on primaries and get out the vote
Indeed.
He detests not Trump and Cruz
When Cruz first announced I was all on board. Totally for Cruz. Then he started voting the wrong way and his explanations did not hold up. I was like WTF Ted?
Then TRump who I wanted to run in 2012 got in it and I felt like he had a better chance to win the general and a better chance to force the Congress to go along with his plans.
Now we hear about Ted and Heidi forgetting to disclose loans from Goldman and Citibank and then his flip flop on the agriculture vote which he pinned on his staff.
Cruz is playing the immigration thing way to cute for my liking. I want these illegals leaving the country by deportation or on their own. I don’t care but Trump will get rid of way more of them than Cruz will. Its not personal we just need to pick the candidate who is pushing our agenda the hardest.
Yes I’m afraid you are right. I don’t think Cruz is a bad guy but he’s no “outsider” either. He knows when to play ball.
Roberts is GOPe. GOPe hates Cruz. If I have to chose whom to believe, it will be Cruz, not Roberts.
Look at the Freepers lining up to support Pat Roberts and his buds Mitch McConnell, Thad Cochrane, John McCain. Yeah , Cruz needed Roberts to tell him a vote against crop insurance would hurt him in Iowa. Nice dagger to the back , Roberts; that alone should get you a $50K donation from Trump like your bud Mitch got last year.
Doesn’t change the fact that Cruz changed his vote like he always does to fool people.
Only if your mindset is that Cruz is lying — which is your choice to make
You mean asking tough questions of a Presidential candidate that has been inconsistent on issues? That kind of agenda?
This is part of the vetting process...
Yeah right
Don’t know what kind of vetting you are seeking. After all they have done such a good job over the last thirty years
That’s our job...
Indeed and I get to chose how I do that
