Cruz supporters: Over and over and over and over you say 'Colorado, by the rules, stop whining!!!!'

Are you beginning to see that no one's whining ... but that the country agrees that it's dark and slimy? It's possible to look at a leech and say 'hey that thing is brown and gross! And damnit it's sucking my blood! ... and not be whining or complaining, but merely pointing out 'what is.'

I experience Ted Cruz as a leech. I'm not calling him that, or saying he 'is a leech.' I'm merely saying that's how he strikes me. I've allowed myself to look at Trump and say 'OK, is this guy just pure narcissism, totally insincere' ... and no, I don't see that. Definitely big ego, obnoxious at times, annoying - but within the boundaries of normal human being with big ideas, loves his nation, wants the best for it, and is obviously super, super frustrated watching it being torn apart.

But Ted - there is something wrong with that guy - his world does not strike me as much bigger than himself. He appears to me to truly love nothing, which is the same thing. Do you ever open yourself to test that idea on yourself? To consider him under that light? Does it fit? Do you find a little voice in your head ... finding it tough to keep supporting him and defending him? Fine if no ... just a little thought experiment.

The thing that is “wrong” with Cruz is he is conservative and has actively defended the values of this forum

I think people are also realizing that it is an invasive species.

I think this is why anyone that's ever had anything to do with Cruz (high school, college, Senate) doesn't like him.

It's taken almost a year for the GOPe to find past acquaintances (non political) of Trump to say something bad about him.
