And you are a flaming bore. The campaign is over. The Clinton people act like it isn’t and so do you.

Okay ace, how would you have liked it if we all acted like Ted last year and Hillary was our president?

Would that be boring to you also?

What it all boils down to is that Ted is more important to you than the nation or Conservative ideals.

I’m not buying his game now, because he refused to fight against Clinton with us last year.

You really have a inflated sense of self worth. First off no one here gives a crap what you think about Ted Cruz or anyone else for that matter. Secondly Ted Cruz was fighting the good fight when Trump was still bankrolling liberal democrats . I will support him at anyplace and anytime and Donald Trump will too and I could care less about your opinion!!

Hmmm, someone else has an opinion here and is willing to defend it. How utterly new and refreshing... NOT! It’s what this forum is about.

As for the man that couldn’t tell Hillary was worse than Trump on many issues, and fight to keep her from being elected, LOL... some Conservative.

If you’re going to back a horse, make sure it isn’t a dead one.

Ted ended his political career last year.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. By the way genius where were you when Trump was praising Barack Obama and by the way I don’t think Bill and Hillary attended Ted’s wedding!!And I don’t remember Ted Campaigning for liberal democrats!!!

Aww, you’re having such a tough time getting over the fact that Ted got crushed last year, and couldn’t recover enough to help defeat Hillary.

From a period of time before the convention when Trump sewed up the delegates he needed to get the nomination, to September 23rd, he couldn’t even figure out if he should back Trump or not.

Finally figuring that mystery of the universe out, he gave Trump an endorsement and put up a page on Facebook. Nobody was hitting his site, but he could claim he was on the record.

Then he vanished for another six weeks only to appear three days before the election and refuse to say Trump’s name at the first of three events.

That low life pond scum couldn’t even figure out how devastating it would be on all issues important to us, if Hillary was elected.

And here you come trying to drag every issue from the campaign out as if that is going to give Ted cover. Guess what. We reviewed all that information and it didn’t buy Ted Cruz jack squat. That’s how much he had destroyed himself.

No way fella.

You just sit there an pout all you like that Ted is being called on being the most ignorant Conservative wanna-be in my lifetime.

And the fact that Donald Trump worked for and raised money to elect Bill Clinton and Barack Obama doesn’t bother you at all...Lovely.

Cruz on Trump in July, August, every day but one in September, and October... nothing, on Hillary... nothing.

Trump was running to end the Clinton’s political careers.

That still hasn’t registered with you, because you still go back to something you think is major on that very topic.

Trump is undoing everything Bill and Hillary Clinton stood for. He’s undoing everything Obama stood for.

His platform was to do this very thing, and Ted, the brightest Conservative ever, missed it.

Ted just couldn’t bring himself to oppose Hillary last year.

Oh but he’s just the bestest Conservative ever. LOL

No issue was important enough for Ted to oppose Hillary’s ability to screw with it against us.

If something hasn’t registered with any one it’s you. Yea! Trump is doing good now but he’s undoing a lot of stuff he helped to do. You can ignore the past if you want too but it’s still there. Up until the latter part of 2010 ...when he decided he was going to run he was a full supporter of every liberal democrat that came down the path. I’m all in for Trump now but he came to the party late....five years ago he was a liberal democrat and was contributing to the mess he’s having to clean up now!!!!!

Yes, the only reason Trump is having to reverse these policies is because he caused them to happen.

The House didn’t. The Senate didn’t. The GOPe we’ve been fighting with for decades didn’t. Only Trump caused this.

Do you think Cruz should have pulled out all the stops to stop Hillary or not?

If you don’t, fine. Accept the reality that Hillary Clinton, someone whose political career Trump was trying to end, would have destroyed us on issue after issue.

Five to seven Leftist judges plus Kennedy would have been on the SCOTUS.

Hey, but why try to block her election. Trump gave her money at one point. He had her husband and her to his weeding. He said something really nice about Obama at one point.

For these reasons Hillary’s agenda should have been installed?

Wow.

Nevertrumper eh? Trump supported Reagan, Bush Sr, and a lot of other republicans over the years including Ted Cruz and Mitt Romney. Trump supported both parties because that’s how you play the game as an American elite. Most of what #nevertrumpers told you about Trump were lies and I’d hope you spend sometime learning the truth if you now support Trump.

You keep ranting about Hillary Clinton but Trump did help elect Bill Clinton and Obama. That’s not conjecture..that’s fact!!!

http://ijr.com/2016/02/537107-5-times-donald-trump-praised-socialized-healthcare/

Here he is praising socialized medicine in Canada and Scotland. Something I dare say the Scots and Canadians don’t do...that is if you judge by the number of Canadians streaming across the border to get medical care before they die.

FReeper Cruz Derangement Syndrome Sufferers don’t realize who is salivating to replace Cruz, the totally un-plugged-in, Comcast owner-marrying rep Mike McCaul:

Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas misspeaks says Republican National Committee was hacked

Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin, told CNN Wednesday that Russians had hacked the Republican National Committee then later recanted the statement saying operatives had been hacked.

The Republican National Committee denied the breach after CNN’s report and McCaul swiftly said he meant to say that Republican operatives had been hacked, according to a report in Business Insider.

McCaul said both Democrats and Republicans had been hacked at the national level and that it didn’t seem targeted to one party or the another, according to a report on Politico.com.

He said he believed that the hackers were trying to undermine the “integrity of our election systems and our democracy and our way of life,” according to Politico.com.

http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/texas/article/Rep-Michael-McCaul-Republican-hacked-9223663.php

So the CDSers want a NeverTrumper to take Cruz’ seat.

OMG, you’re still thinking this is the primary in 2016.

Trump got the delegates, was nominated, and ran for president against Hillary Clinton. You didn’t know that?

Ted Cruz didn’t know which of them to support, finally picked Trump, endorsed him rather quietly and slipped back under his rock for six weeks.

Poor guy couldn’t find a radio show, a television show, a camera or a microphone in 98 out of 100 days, trash Hillary and perhaps support Trump.

Around here somewhere I listed issue after issue that Hillary would have severely hurt the nation with. Ted didn’t give a rip.

He didn’t get the nomination and couldn’t be bothered.

The nation’s future didn’t worry him one bit.

Hey, it’s in the history books now.

Trump is undoing everything he said he would and doing exactly what he said he would.

I’m sure Ted can’t tell if it’s Hillary or Trump in there, they were so much alike to him.

So your upset that Ted Didn’t do enough to defeat Hillary!!!

Republican presidential candidate and reality television star Donald Trump has been deeply critical of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as he has embarked on his campaign, but it wasn’t always so.

The real estate magnate has a long history of delivering admiring comments about the woman he now calls the “worst Secretary of State in the history of the United States,” and a “desperate” and “sad” candidate.

When Clinton last ran for office, Trump was torn between supporting her and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. “ They’re both terrific people, and I hope they both get the nomination,” he told CNN in 2007, adding that he thought Clinton would surround herself with good people to negotiate a deal with Iran. A year later, Trump wondered publicly why Clinton wasn’t chosen as President Obama’s running-mate.

In 2012, as Obama was running for re-election, Trump called Clinton “terrific” again in an interview with Fox News, saying she performed well as Secretary of State.

“Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman,” he told Greta Van Susteren. “I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.

And on Fox and Friends on Wednesday, Trump explained why he donated to Clinton’s campaigns.

“I’m a businessman. I contribute to everybody,” Trump said. “When I needed Hillary, she was there. If I say ‘go to my wedding,’ they go to my wedding.”

Read it and weep!!!!

Okay. Great job. I’ve read that article twenty times if I’ve read it once. I have. It was floating out there last year. We all read it. Guess what. We read Trump’s platform, listened to his campaign speeches, noticed he wasn’t mincing words and was sticking to Conservative principles.

Trump was running to end the Clinton’s political careers once and for all. Somewhere along the line, you are completely missing that point.

Trump was not running to extend Obama doctrine. He wasn’t running to implement Hillary’s. He was running on a very Conservative platform.

Going into the election, Ted Cruz was at a loss to see why he should go all in to prevent Hillary from being elected.

Not one single issue jumped out at Ted so much so that he thought Hillary might be a threat big enough for him to fight against tooth and nail.

Conservative?

LOL

Trump supporting Hillary Clinton as a private citizen in 2007 had what effect? None.

Cruz refusing to support his own party’s nominee in favor of Hillary Clinton in 2016 had what effect? Well, he didn’t prevent his own party’s nominee from winning despite every appearance of attempting to do just that, fortunately.

However, one was at worst speaking well of an acquaintance running for office with whom he’d possibly have to work as a businessman. The other was an alarmingly short-sighted act of sheer spite with potentially dire political consequences.

So, you still prefer Cruz?

You two condemn Ted Cruz For supporting Hillary Clinton by omission and praise Donald Trump when he did it by commission.....a rather stupid approach. Say it any way you want Donald Trump said he thought Hillary would make a fine President in so many words ,I don’t think Ted ever said that....not even close.
