BUFFALO BILL’S DEFUNCT: WHY TED CRUZ WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT
SPECTATOR.ORG ^ | 14 MARCH 2016 | ESTHER GOLDBERG

Posted on 03/14/2016 3:37:31 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

For the conservative movement, Ted Cruz was going to be a savior. The anointed one. His father told us that Ted was “anointed…to bring the spoils of war to the Priests.” The congregation of the New Beginnings Church in Irving, Texas, laid hands on Ted and he was invited to speak in tongues. And the high priests of National Review solemnly said “amen.”

Like Cummings’ Buffalo Bill, Ted would “ride a watersmooth-silver stallion” and break Donald Trump. Because the self-styled conservative movement had pronounced Ted to be an authentic “constitutionalist,” and nothing else mattered.

Don’t lecture to me as if I just fell of the back of a turnip truck; I’ve been around politics for over 50 years.

I don't mean to lecture, just argue - good and hard. Sometimes FR seems to be the last place on the pansy-passed internet where good people can go at it.

I know you don't want Hillary. All I'm saying is that I'm impressed with how many of the enemy are terrified by Trump, and I don't require him to be a choirboy. And frankly, Cruz's foot is full of holes and it's his own gun that's smoking.

Cruz is not part of the Uniparty and has fought them. DT is the most Statist.

“Cruz was elected to the Senate with little establishment support among a tea party wave in 2012. Since then he has built notoriety for bucking his party’s leaders and fighting for his agenda regardless of consequence. He played a leading role in the government shutdown in 2013 over Obamacare.”

Statism.

“Statism is the belief that the state should either control outright or determine the course of economic and social policy for a nation. Socialism and fascism are variants of statism. Some notable examples of American presidents that were proponents of this philosophy are Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt and Barack Obama. In this election cycle both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are openly statist.

“On the other hand, Donald Trump has, at times, attempted to present himself as a staunch conservative opposed to statist philosophies; however, there have been numerous occasions when his statist leanings come to the fore. Nonetheless, based on the entirety of his adult life (nearly fifty years) and many recent actions and pronouncements, Donald Trump seems to resemble a closet statist who believes the government should control and determine the course of commerce, finance, manufacturing, agriculture and the media.”

What if anything will Trump do with Cruz?

...if he can close the deal.

Rafael Cruz is ineligible to hold the office of the Presidency or Vice-Presidency.

I keep hearing that, but to date not one state has disqualified him or declared him ineligible.
