Now, that's some major spinning. You do remember that Cruz was running AGAINST Trump, do you not? Hard to do both at the same time.
And, Trump may become the nominee but he hasn't won it yet.
That's something telling: we have certain posters here who insist Ted Cruz is a phony Christian just using the faith to win votes.
Yet Cruz's behavior in this example is a perfect example of a Christian ideal: to be dignified in the face of attacks against himself, and fight back when others are in harm's way.
Cruz was civil with all of the candidates at the beginning, iirc.
And see, that is it. You can't be civil with someone like Donald. You're either for him or against him.
Wow. You obviously are looking at things from a very leftist perspective. I actually had to read what you wrote more than twice. Cruz did what to himself? Boehner, McConnell and company, better known as the Washington cartel is WHO Cruz stood up to on behalf of WE THE PEOPLE! Boehner and McConnell are leaders who generally side with the left; when that happens you no longer have a two party system. Cruz told the TRUTH. That is why I admire Cruz. That is why I trust Cruz. That is why I believe that Cruz was our very last hope. He ruffled Boehner's and McConnell's feathers because they are siding with the left and destroying not only the party but the country. Cruz need not make any apologies and I find it quite ridiculous that you see him as surly and seeking attention. Nothing could be so completely untrue about him. We need a couple hundred more like Cruz.
Not only that, Ted Cruz took the fight to where it counts - the state conventions where the delegates are selected to represent 'WE THE PEOPLE' at the GOP Convention in Cleveland. Is is there that the platform is written. It is there that the rules are set. And while Cruz was working his ass off trying to save the Party from the Ryan/McConnell Establishment, Trump was attacking him relentlessly for trying to block establishment delegates from being seated.
The biggest lie of this entire campaign is that Donald Trump wants to overthrow the GOP Establishment. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Nothing leftist about it. Cruz comes in, calls McConnell and Boehner liars, and then gets put on an island. And then he wants to be president. Where was his support? Donald does the exact same thing to the GOP field and you cry foul? Why? The game is the game. And many moderates, like it or not, felt Cruz was worse then Trump. So how would he have won the election? Trump has never been in government before, is a billionaire, a loudmouth, a vulgarian, etc, yet Cruz was "nice" (your words) to him? Governor Romney has a point here. He should have hit Donnie from day one.
