There is something very wrong with Ted Cruz.   **nononono*

Without going through all the comments, you do understand the context of the 'rat-f*****' quote, right?

Will you say the same thing about Trump when you look up the context of where 'rat-f****' came from?

Cruz was stupid.

Your average viewer/reader doesn't give a crap about the etymology of phrases - they accept them in their own experience and vernacular.
There were far more elegant ways for Cruz to have gotten his point across. He really should spend some time watching parliamentary debates.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

I will agree with that, he shouldn't use vague references to Trump's big guy Roger Stone and his 'rat-f****' Republican list. Most people won't know about that and it will just be used against him.

Cruz does need to improve on his speeches and understand, the way this is going, he isn't speaking to a politically astute voter base any more. Even those on his side who are engaged are starting to treat this like a WWE wrasslin match and they want WWE catch-phrases, not nuanced historical references.

Support whomever is closest to your values that you trust will not sway from those.

All the rest of this is just arena entertainment to keep the masses entertained.

Trump/Cruz, they seem to be reversed reflections of each other.

Nope! Simply telling the TRUTH!

There is little that is rational or logical about the anti-Trumps. Just a few of the things the anti-Trumps have discussed are his hair, skin color, wife/wives, religion, business failures, brashness, rudeness, crudeness, etc. Their hate overwhelms common sense.

That's  the second time today you've called me a liar. I DO NOT lie and you cannot point to a single instance where i have done so! That, I believe, makes YOU the liar!

It's still a lie. It will always remain a lie. What matters is the desire to put this country on the right track again.

Trump’s putting China on notice too.

“We have rebuilt China,” he told O’Reilly. “They have taken our jobs, they’ve taken our manufacturing, they’ve taken everything from us. … They’ve taken money. Do you know that right now we owe China $1.3 trillion? We’re paying them interest. What you do to China is you say if you don’t behave we’re going to have to start taxing your goods coming into this country. … They charge us tariffs. We don’t charge them because we’re stupid.  They charge us. And the largest bank in the world is right under this floor.”

Would Congress approve all of his proposed changes?

“Absolutely. I’ve been dealing with politicians all my life,” Trump said. “They’ll fold. They did a – that’s just what they do, Bill.”

Just because you choose to believe in a fairy tale does not make anything I said a lie!  Never has and never will!

Careful I am getting ready to loose it!

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

As to whether Cruz should have said that?  I wouldn't but I am not faulting him after an attack on his family like that.  Not sure that Cruz saying that has done anything but bring him up in the polls.  It may have nothing to do with it but he is just fine.  People do not seem to be offended at all.
