They will not consider even remotely the possibility that Ted Cruz was simply a politician, and not a very good one at that.

I do have some evidence to support my opinion, though. He came in a distant second, and in the Bible belt, came in a distant distant second -- to a New York "liberal."

Ted Cruz is the only politician I have encountered in my fairly long lifetime to do in office EXACTLY what he said he would do while campaigning.   That alon e puts him in a very small minority of politicians.

Out of the 17 GOP candidates he secured the second most delegates during the primaires.

Do you realize how dumb your statement is?

No, I'm completely oblivious of it. Do you think I could coax you into explaining it to me?

Claiming that a second place finisher out of a field of 17 is a bad politician?  That is past obtuseness.

If Ted Cruz had won the national primary and situations were reversed, what would your analysis of Ted Cruz's victory be?

You're completely wrong, but, then you know that by now.

As Texas Solicitor General Cruz was getting national attention from both the left and the right for writing briefs and representing Texas before the USSC. Most people would recognize the Mojave Cross case, the Mexican National execution case, and the Ten commandments case, among others. The notion he didn't have name recognition within his own state is absurd, and even early polling shows him much higher than 2%.

I sure wouldn't be making stupid claims that Trump is a bad politician (aka, 2nd place).  God, not only have you been duped, you've been brainwashed as well.  Enjoy your orange koolaid.

Trump's sweep in South Carolina was a real eye opener for me, and a testament to his strength and charisma.

Trump's subsequent romp in Florida was equally impressive, as was the drubbing he gave Cruz in Indiana.

I tell you,  Cruz didn't have a chance once the Trump Smear Machine started in earnest.  Still wonder how much Stone and Pecker got for their dirty deeds.

Early September, poll inching up, endorsements cascading in, all genders black and white and Latino voters grabbing their tickets as the train pulls in...and they're getting on board to November 8.

President Donald J Trump.

so would it bother you to know that there are people who will vote for Trump now and Cruz in 2018?

Hopefully some of his former big donors return so he can afford his campaign because I doubt the GOP's going to throw a hot nickel his way.  And hopefully, he'll be satisfied with being the most disdained Senator in Congress for the rest of his life.

And IF Trump loses, pumpkin, Cruz will look like the friggin' reason.
If Cruz had that kind of power with a simple speech he'd be the nominee.

With Trump the buck always stops... elsewhere.

Last time:  IF Trump loses, Cruz will carry the stain---whether you like it or not--whether you believe it or not. That's just how it's gonna be.  :shrug:

If Trump loses the general election, it will be for the same reason Cruz lost the primary election.  He failed to motivate enough voters to elect him.

Blaming others is silly, and certainly assigns far greater power to the guy who lost the primary, than he ever had.

@Emjay
In that vein the only "couragous" thing I've seen him do is end his campaign for President.
Cruz has failed in this effort and by not endorsing the GOP nominee has effectively cut his own throat within the party.

It's time for him to go.
The inability to distinguish valid criticism from mindless hatred is a hallmark of cognitive dissonance.  :seeya:

Ted Cruz certainly has the courage to do what he thinks is right and best for the country.

The last thing he should do is leave the Republican Party.  Ted Cruz is the one person who can unify and direct the Party in a more conservative direction.  Like Reagan, Cruz has the power to influence the public to pull with him in the right direction.

This mindless hatred of an excellent man is a hallmark of the Trump Zombie crowd.
We are just supposed to "get over" everything Trump has done, yet they can't get over one speech to support the most conservative man in the senate. Time to mix up a new flavor Trumpist Monk Kool Aid.

I cannot remember any election were supporters of a candidate were prepared to blame others for said candidate's loss.
