Yep Ted, I’m so appreciative of your efforts to make sure Hillary Clinton wasn’t elected in 2016.
Oh wait...
Sorry Ted. Every good thing you listed right there, it was because the rest of us didn’t act as you did in 2016.
Drop dead...
One might think there would be some “Praise the Lord” from a group that’s trying to act Christianly.
Its absence bothers me more, much more, than Ted Cruz’s checkered political past.
Ted Cruz says Donald Trump would not appoint a conservative Supreme Court justice
By Tom Howell Jr. - The Washington Times - Sunday, February 14, 2016
‘“We’re one justice away from the Second Amendment being written out,” Mr. Cruz told ABC’s “This Week.” “It is abundantly clear that Donald Trump is not a conservative, he will not invest the capital to confirm a conservative.”’

Ted Cruz worships . . . himself. And he’s about as politically reliable as . . . a billygoat.
Sounds like a man who wants to be re-elected.
And well, Cruz was wrong.
Trump seems to have a vision as a conciliator, though that’s tricky with some groups of people. I believe Donald gave us Gorsuch because he knew that anything markedly different from Scalia would upset applecarts he did not want upset. He might nominate a less hard line person to replace, say, Ginsburg.
Ted Cruz continues to do a good job.
I remember Ted Cruz at the Republican convention.
Trump graciously gave him a prime speaking spot and Cruz used it tell his TV audience to “vote your conscence”.
Immediately, as could only happen through prior coordination, the Democrats were using vote your conscience as their main talking point.
Cruz did all he could to help sabotage the Trump campaign and try to get Hillary Clinton elected.
Now, Cruz is praising Trump.
Sounds like a man who wants to be re-elected.

Yes. But the other side of the coin is Texas isn’t going to
elect Beto O’Rouke in Nov. regardless of which name was
on the GOP line.
‘Now, Cruz is praising Trump.’
Did you really read it that way? I read it has a heaping helping of self-praise with a small side order of mostly indirect Trump praise.
Even the small side order of praise for Trump goes against what Cruz was saying a short time ago.
So now, Cruz is on the Trump Train? What a hack.
It’s TCruz or “Beto”; I guess some get to pick their poison.
Much yet to be done, ending the persecution of Christian chaplains in the military, the end of Christians always being the first to give in when one person is offended, the end of Christian persecution when a 10 Commandments or Nativity scene are displayed on public property. There is more.
If we had all acted like Ted Cruz in 2016, I wouldn’t give you two cents for the future of Christianity in the nation.
When I see Ted loft his head as if he is a leading Conservative, I’m going to whack-a-mole the guy into oblivion.
The good people of Texas have chosen him to represent their Conservative ideals from the great state. If taking a pass on helping defeat Hillary Clinton, is their idea of a great Conservative, we’ll have to agree to disagree.
Him being the candidate, I have to avoid the other guy, so folks should vote for Ted. I don’t think they should do it with a pretense of holding their heads high though.
The man should have had his ass kicked out of the eligibility slot in the primary.
Every die-hard Conservative should grasp the truth in that.
The problem is that should Trump’s polling #s collapse or Trump come under sustained, vicious and effective attack, Cruz would join right in. That’s not my guess. That has been Cruz’ invariable MO.
Yes, Ted Cruz did the Trump campaign AND himself no favors when he didn't endorse DJT at the Republican Convention. And yes, he has tried/is trying to "mend his ways" and support the current administration whenever, wherever, and however he can.
Do we really need to continue this harassment and hatred on Free Republic? There's plenty of wrong and mistrust and disagreement on issues/candidates to last forever. If we continue to disparage our own and each other (other Republicans in primaries whom we don't personally support), and if we continue to get mad and hold grudges at other Republicans who don't believe/vote exactly how we think they should - then why can we be surprised when Republicans hold "circular firing squads" after primaries, and then lose to Democrats?!
We're just being "the stupid party" the Democrats call us. All they have to do is sit back and watch us destroy each other, and then come in with the claim to "fix it." (You and I know their definition of "fix it" is diametrically opposed to yours, mine, Cruz's, Trump's, and other - NOT ALL!- Republicans.)
Let's work together, instead of against each other, so we can elect people who have the best interest of the USA (not themselves personally) at heart. And since the 2016 election season is over, let's give each other the benefit of the doubt.
End of rant.
Oops, meant the second reply to go to DoughtyOne.
