Thread: Ted Cruz met with Obama prior to RNC, Endorses Hillary, Rick Perry set to Destroy Cru

Cruz's wife is a fund-raiser for the campaign, the chief fund-raiser, raising money from Wall Street and Goldman-Sachs. She's fair game. It's time for the Republicans and Conservatives to fully understand what equal rights means in this country. Being a "wife" does not exempt you as a target in a political campaign when you're an active part of the campaign raising money against your opponents. Being a "father" who is actively campaigning for his son, preaching that he's the anointed one in accordance with some crazy religious notion that God appoints US Presidents, makes you an absolute part of the campaign and as fair game as the candidate himself.

You want to punch Trump through a Super-Pac by hitting Melania? Well, of course, Trump or a Trump Supporter is going to punch back. if you can't take it, then don't dish it.

Just as if Cruz wants to get his panties in a bunch over photos of his wife and father pointed out by Donald Trump, then he better put his big girl panties on and realize he wandered into a game he can't win, and didn't. There is no better counter-puncher than Donald Trump. Cruz miscalculated that which shows he's not nearly as smart and he and some of his supporters think he is. He's also a small-minded loser who wants to dish it, but can't take it when it's thrown back and wants to hide his sour grapes behind the "family".

Oh, it all just wants to make me puke. I can't wait until Texas throws his butt out of the US Senate.

As to who he's going to vote for as if anyone of sound mind still gives a hoot. If he secretly votes for Donald Trump, he's a phony hypocrite. If he openly votes for Donald Trump, he's a late-bloomer, johnny-come-way-too-lately. If he votes against Donald Trump for Gary Johnson who is Pro-choice or Hillary Clinton who is also Pro-Choice, well, then let that sink in with his supporters.

Either way, anyway you want to look at it, his performance at the Convention was a total fail, that's why he was booed off the stage, and why his political career is over and there is no number of rides on Air Force One with Obama to attend memorial services for police officers murdered by a Islamic Terrorist that will or can change that. Islamic Terrorists are killing Americans, here in the United States, that's why Trump wisely called by a ban on Muslim immigration to reduce the potential for more people with these views entering the United States.

All this nitpicking about these items about Cruz ignore or forget the whole character of Cruz and the rest of the Republicans who opposed his nomination for the Republican candidacy. The opposition to Trump candidacy -- just the candidacy -- was utterly rotten, unprincipled and corrupt and that means especially Cruz.

Cruz has lost the nomination for the Republican candidacy. He never really had a chance and in his struggle did nothing but undermine the Republican quest for the presidency. He is out of that race. The race for the nomination is over. If Cruz wants to support a Republican run for the president, then he needs to actually do something to exhibit that support. He is not doing that. And not only that, but he appears to have joined the other side. And not only that, but his supporters appear to be covering up the fact that he has joined the other side. The claim that Cruz has actually endorsed Clinton is only confronted in a legalistic way. But Cruz's past behavior and that of his supporters suggest that this is not an outrageous claim, especially when Republicans have actually been heard suggesting such a thing.

All Republicans really need to ask themselves, do they or do they not want a Republican in the White House this January. Trump is the Republican candidate. That is a done deal. Republicans who don't want a Republican in the White House this January need to say so or quit the double talk. Nobody is fooled.

If this chatter gets to be a problem, the easiest, most reasonable thing to do would be for Cruz to get behind the Trump candidacy in a public way. If "professionals" can meet with their political enemies across party lines, then certainly they can do the same in public for their own party members.

And the welfare of the our nation and citizens.

Cruz is not that type of person. He demonstrated that clearly at the Convention. Bottom-line: Cruz is about Cruz.

And Texans won't stand for that now that they know.

Buh Bye, Ted.

This is not even an issue in the headline news, why are you all exhausting yourselves with this commentary when it is meaningless to the campaign. He did not endorse Hillary and the expression blood is thicker than water is at play right now for Cruz. Or is this unfinished business from months ago?

You guys are a little unfair here, as I recall LMAO...Trump publicly humiliated many of his opponents in the republican primaries. I would have a problem with this too if I were any of them that came under heavy fire from Trump like Cruz, Rubio or Bush. Let it go...he is not switching teams and his trepidation to endorse Trump is akin to an open wound that has yet to heal. His political future is at stake and the only headlines he is getting right now is from this thread.

MW...GROW UP! YOU are completely IGNORING the FACT that they all attack each other, get over it, it is the dirty side of politics. 17 people on that stage ATTACKED Trump the 1st day he announced he was running. Trump had the guts, the will and stamina to fight back. They ALL lost...hello...you get it???

Bye bye! Go find another bone to pick. Boo hoo...they attacked him about his hair, his business, his hands, his wife, good grief, his marriages, the border, Chapter 11...which is legal and saves businesses, the invasion of OUR country, that we are being ripped off royally, the Muslim threat to our Country, our Jobs lost! All the things he said that WE all are thinking and screaming about in our own homes about the destruction of this country.

Go ahead...quote me with some more of your drivel.

As Beezer said .... and ...

Right. "Meaningless to the campaign" That's it. Trump is the only one campaigning for himself. It would appear that Cruz and his sympathizers are still campaigning against him. They are still trying to boot up the political momentum against him that failed them in the contest for the nomination. He got it. You're done. Get with the program.

Either that or join the other side in the open and show us your true colors.

(CNN)Ted Cruz won't endorse Donald Trump, but the Republican nominee said Friday he wouldn't take the support even if the Texas senator offered."If he gives it, I will not accept it," Trump said at a news conference in Cleveland at the close of the Republican National Convention.


"I don't want his endorsement," he added. "Just, Ted, stay home, relax, enjoy yourself."
He also suggested that if Cruz were to seek the White House, he would set up a super PAC to oppose him.

Done deal! Some of you want what the candidate himself is rejecting outright.

A good point by pkskyali, but certainly a moot point based on Trumps position now.

If "professionals" can meet with their political enemies across party lines, then certainly they can do the same in public for their own party members.

Thank you, Joe. There does seem to be a few short memories around here these days.

Touche! Thanks for being a person of reason in this discussion.

-------------------------------------------

Excuse me JOE S...as I recall LMAO...every opponent of Trump publicly humiliated themselves the minute Trump rode down the Escalator at Trump Tower announcing his run for President.

I think Trump has come under HEAVY FIRE not only from the Media but all the candidates he was running with and the bought and paid for corrupt politicians in D.C. And our own disgusting President. This has been going on for over a YEAR. Baby Bush, baby Rubio, John "cupcake" Kasich, baby I want my mommy Graham...Pathetic Paul, traitor Cruz, really, refresh YOUR memory what cry babies WHO LOST, who tried, but failed, to throw their MUD on Trump first.

But unlike them...Trump has had NO problem coming under fire, as you say...he stood tall and shoved them right back.

THEY CAME UNDER HEAVY FIRE? Surely you jest.
