Ted Cruz Refuses to Endorse Paul Ryan for Congress

[Hoodat]

I do recall an anti-Cruz Freeper saying we need a president with an "American" name.

Cruz is an American name.

Trump monkeys are just so darned cute. The way the dance around with that leash and choker...

No pardons might need a lifeline Y'ALL!

KIDDING! #pleasedont. 

[GrouchoTex]

It's dang old Pi-r-squared chess that Trump plays that has us mixed up.

FYI:

Pie are round

Cornbread are squared.

Need more ball-gag

[geronl]

They just completely flipped on a dime and some are already adamant and religiously zealot about their new position. lol.

[Stosh]

Chump held a position against Ryan for 2 days before endorsing him...that may a record for the Orange one keeping the same thought....

Do NOT!

I am beyond disgusted. And I am nearly at the end of my ability to even verbalize my despair.

There are people who want to do away with anything GOPe. Hey, I agree with them! Let's start over!

During the primaries, they ridiculed and disparaged anyone who appeared to have any association whatever with the GOPe. Nearly ALL of the other candidates were colored with the "insider" brush...except for their favorite, Mr. Trump.

McCain and Ryan were POSTER KIDS of the GOPe "traitors"! Getting them out was top of the list!

And now, here comes an individual that refuses to endorse them; probably at some political cost to himself. That should be a badge of honor. That should be applauded, supported and encouraged in everyone else.

Nope.

It's Cruz. And if it's Cruz, then it's bad. It shows what a jerk he is. It supports their notion that he's just in it for himself. All kinds of maleficent reasons are ginned up for his refusal.

Then Trump spins around endorses them. The very guy who's been ranking on what a terrible job all these guys have been doing.

Oh boy! NOW, it's okay. Know why? Because he didn't mean it and will really fix 'em once he gets elected. Or, he had to do that politically. Or, Ryan was going to get elected anyway and "Why burn bridges?". Or, "This is just the way you have to do things in D.C.". Or, "Ha! Now, it's in their court to support him!"

I am truly stumped and lost and depressed. Either [used to be] conservatives have lost their minds and decided to do whatever it takes to get Trump elected or [used to be] conservatives never were conservatives; their principles are as disposable as toilet paper.

I'm beginning to feel like the Lone Ranger. I'm beginning to feel that I've been a fool for a long time. I'm beginning to believe that there were a lot fewer staunch conservatives, actual conservatives, than I thought there were,

I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but I've got a hell of a memory.

And no one who's been throwing their principles out over this guy will ever be able to be a part of what I think of as the conservative movement ever again.

@AbaraXas

IMO, that's why some refer to him as "Rafael" Cruz.

They mean like Drumpf?

Peter Fransisco is one of the heroes of the American revolution. Shame he didn't have an "American name".

Fun fact.

Trump's mother or grandmother's maiden name was

CHRIST.

Not even joking.

I stand with Cruz.  I continue and will continue to support him.  I can only think of a handful of true conservatives in the Senate.  The House holds a few more.  Cruz's message was very clear.  Don't stay home on election day. Vote your conscience, and vote down ballot. There is a reason he took the position that he did.

[libertybele]

Might need more lifelines.  The cauldron is boiling again.

First of all this is coming from Brietbart and I normally don't hold too much stock in what they have to say anymore.  Secondly, Cruz wasn't asked to endorse Ryan; so why is this even an issue for crying out loud or even a story?  The end.

[Just_Victor]

...and his Honesty, and his Decency....and most of all... Ted galls them in his Principles.

Dern principles!  Life is so much simpler when you just flit from belief to belief based upon what most benefits (or profits) you.

[LMAO]

We're seeing a major difference in what people hold dear.  I don't admire Ted, the man.  I admire Ted, the principles.
They admire Trump, the man.  Principles are squat.
If Ted revoked his principles, I would have dropped him.
Trumpsters keep going, and going, and going.

Interestingly, we can fathom their issues.  They can't fathom ours.  They think we admire Ted, the man, because its the universe they know.

Well put.

A man serves 4 or 8 years as president. The principles go beyond any presidential terms.

The so called conservatives who support Trump have had to abandon all conservative credentials to support him. Should he lose, will those same people try to reclaim those principles?

[jmyrlefuller]

It's Breitbart. Take it with a grain of salt.

[Drewsmum]

One of her comments was removed tonight.  LOL

Oh, she's loosing status over there fast.  First your comments get removed,  then it's a slippery slope...

I guess briefly removing your lips from Trump's rear long enough to go "huh?", will knock you down a few notches in the Trump worship heirarchy over there.  He is NOT to be questioned.

Please don't feel like the Lone Ranger here....lol.  There are a LOT of us that feel, and have been feeling, the exact same way.  What we knew or thought we knew has been turned upside down this year.  It's ok.  At least now we have a real perspective from which to start again.   I would rather know who my real friends and like-minded patriots are (or aren't) than not know and still be deluded into thinking we're on the same side.

Now we know.

That's a really interesting account...thanks for posting it, CC.  But, see, that was before there were Freepers around to cure those Continentals of their PC notions. 

BTW, "TURN" was renewed for a fourth and final season, so I'm hoping we'll get to see some of the Southern campaign.

And Peter Fransico was one of those unaccompanied minors the geniuses at TOS would like to see shot on sight.
