Ted Cruz just took the Dems' Jeff Sessions confirmation hearing hypocrisy and killed it with FIRE f

If you wish to believe all that, go ahead, the saying I have heard is "they can dish it out but they can't take it."

Cruz endorsed Trump but he also endorsed Romney before; a lot of folks here, wouldn't even do that.

I voted for both, seems I'm following Cruz more than others.

Yes, "partisan hackery", sure, except when it comes to St. Cruz. Then we can disagree with him.

In the long run, as I said, Trump supporters support of Cruz may be more pragmatic and fulfilling of aims than just saying "I'm against everyone".

@TomSea

Support of Cruz, lol.  You were vilifying him the day before yesterday.

@HoustonSam
It's funny you should say that.  A few days ago someone noted that those who supported Trump with the most dedication and fervor---Christie, Giuliani, Gingrich---ended up with nothing to show for it.  Only Gingrich is still bothering to put himself in front of the cameras now and then.

I agree with Newt frequently - not always - but I think he's in front of the cameras because he enjoys it.

My low opinion of Trump notwithstanding, I'm willing to extend him some benefit of the doubt and figure that he distinguished between fervent campaign surrogates and Cabinet Secretaries, and recognized that loyalty in the former role does not predict success in the latter.  But I wonder which of the paragons of success will be the first to leave and say something less-than-fawning, and then be derided as a "failure and horrible loser who begged me to hire him" in a Tweet.  And then how long it will take for the Chorus of the Trump Infallibility Myth to change their tune about that outcast.

Lyin' Ted at it again I see. Donny is going to have to do something about this loudmouth.

Senator Ted Cruz - reigniting the promise of America.  I have supported him in the past and will continue to support him for his run in 2018. This incident is a prime example of why we need Cruz in the Senate rather than serving as a justice.  His extraordinary talent of an "audiographic memory" gives him a distinct advantage over most.  In addition he is also a brilliant debater; that is what he does best.  He argues on behalf of the truth!  Go Ted!!!

So you say, I am just recognizing what true conservatives are,

The one you just called a "cabinet pick" who is way more accomplished than Cruz per conservatism, Jeff Sessions, same thing for Mike Pence, way more of an accomplished Conservative.

But what did you say? Partisan Hackery? Yet, here is Cruz sticking up for Sessions, endorsing Romney and Trump.

I suggest one look up the word "hypocrisy"; though the Levinites would never recognize it, they have their checklist conservatism, that's what's important, not actually getting things done.

I'm not quite sure how to classify the change in comments and logic; mind boggling or just plain wishy-washy.

If I interpreted things like you, I'd say you are now calling Cruz a political hack.

Insane.  And I don't mean that as hyperbole or insult.

One day it may occur to you that Cruz has been the same solid, honest conservative all along; it was YOU who had it all wrong.

No we just know how petty and spiteful Trump is.

The Donald's supporters are even worse than he is.

   @TomSea us 'Cruzers' can take anything about Ted you can dish out, true or not, he is not 'our' messiah, a mere mortal that we can agree with 90% of the time and that's good enough for me.
   As far as the rest of what your saying, it just didn't register, I tried, I read it twice.

[Frank Cannon]

  He argues on behalf of the truth!  Go Ted!!!   

But he can't be. It was revealed in the Primaries that Ted is both Lyin' and owned by Goldman Sachs (by marriage)!

This thread is about Sen. Cruz doing the right thing and supporting the Donald's nominee, even though that nominee, a fellow Senator, did not support him for President.  Therefore, this thread is also about the Donald.

[HoustonSam]

No Goldman Sachs is now good again since Trump appointed three of their alumni and a fourth by marriage.  And the definition of "lyin'" is "sayin' somethin' that's inconvenient for Trump."

Yes he did, and that's the bottom line.  The ball was moved our way and that's what counts.

Exactly right. The election is over. Donald Trump is going to be our President, and anyone who still cares about the future of liberty in America needs to understand that there is no "perfect" in politics or in life. Trump promises a far better potential future than Hillary and her radical associates would have, and I say that as one of his frequent critics.  He deserves a chance to change this country's disastrous course away from Obamanism. I hope he proves to be amenable to wise counsel, and wish him nothing but success.

You're right, but even if Sen Cruz loses he will still be right. We live in an age of celebrity not principal. Sen Cruz is ruled by principal, that's part of the reason so many Trump supporters think he's "preachy".

It is actually interesting right now to watch Cruz in action.  So far he's publicly stated that he was voting for Trump, applauded Trump's cabinet picks so far and he's standing up for one of Trump's cabinet appointments.  All this has helped to advance Trump and he should be counting his blessings that so far Ted seems to be on his side.

Still hoping he's on the short list for one of the SCOTUS openings this next 4 years.
