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

[libertybele]

   @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.

Whew.  Here I thought I was having comprehension problems and was back and forth on trying to categorize the commentary(s) between "mind boggling" or "wish-washy" ... "mind boggling" it is!  Simply mind boggling!

This thread isn't about Donald Trump.

It's about Ted Cruz undressing the Democrats for the world to see.

And that has been commented on. Feel free to comment on that as well.

However...

Potential clashes with Trump when Cruz stands up for the Constitution are a legitimate part of this conversation because we know that Trump is a Liberal at heart and there are things he will try to ram through Congress that will never get signed. Cruz and Lee will be leading the opposition.

I am hopeful, though doubtful, that to speed things along, Trump would confer with them first on Constitutional issues.

No one here bashed him except in your imagination.

All that was brought up was a very real possibility.

How about contributing to the conversation instead of taking a dump on it?

Democrats on the committee, especially Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. (F, 0%) had been grilling Sessions on whether he would uphold abortion laws in the United States if he becomes Attorney General.

What abortion laws?  There are no federal abortion laws.

[DCPatriot]

More proof that the wrong guy is getting sworn in as President in a couple weeks.

And this adds to the conversation, how?

[Hoodat]

[Cruz]'s showing loyalty to the party versus the jokers who always seem to find fault with the party.

BS.   Cruz is showing loyalty to Conservatism and Truth.  The Party will throw Sessions under the bus in a Manhattan minute.

[Silver Pines]

The one you just called a "cabinet pick" who is way more accomplished than Cruz per conservatism

St. Cruz

Now I know that's a record.  You went from praising Cruz to denigrating him again on the same thread.  I didn't think it would happen THAT fast.

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

I think he has a future as a President or as a VP candidate. Being a leader is the Senate, helping with the tough going under Trump, he gains experience and name recognition.

The SC is kind of a lockout for those considerations.  If he is as good as most feel he is, the SC might be a waste of talent.

[libertybele]

Unlike the Donald, Cruz is a good man and is doing what is right, even though Sessions backstabbed him and supported the Donald.  Cruz would have made a great President.  One we could have been proud of.

This is true.  I am damn proud of Cruz.  The jury is still out on Trump.

[Right_in_Virginia]

No we just know how petty and spiteful Trump is.

Seriously ... are you still beating this dead horse @txradioguy?  Even after the PEOTUS has made peace and forged alliances with those who wanted and worked for his defeat THIS is what you throw out here?  Is there no better use of your time?? 

[truth_seeker]

Every thread becomes about bashing Trump.

Ain't that the truth ??

[Hoodat]

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

Much better than cutting campaign checks to Chuck Schumer.

Would you like some cheese with your whine?

[Sanguine]

Much better than cutting campaign checks to Chuck Schumer.

Or Hillary Clinton.

If he is as good?  He is.  No doubt about it.  Listen to any of his speeches.  Watch the videos of him grilling and destroying the Sierra Club and calling McConnell a liar. Without Cruz ..., Heller v. DC would have turned out a lot differently.  He has made a name for himself already, otherwise he wouldn't continue to make headlines.  When Ted Cruz talks; people now hear him.

I for one believe the SCOTUS would be a terrible waste of Ted's talents.

Work with people that didn't support him?  You mean like what he did to the chairman of the Ohio GOP?

Is that the kind of teamwork you're talking about?

Oh and how's that swamp draining going?

[txradioguy]

Ain't that the truth ??

No not really.

Have you thought of posting your own pro Trump threads?

Or are you only content to do that at TOS?

[SirLinksALot]

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

And don't forget that his father conspired to assassinate JFK /sarc

[txradioguy]

And this adds to the conversation, how?

It's more substantial than anything you've posted.

Still waiting for you to actually put some effort into your posts.

Fun Fact: The Trumpiest of Trumpettes have now gone from calling Ted Cruz "Lyin' Ted" to "Lion Ted".....

What a bunch of disingenuous shitbags.

The difference depends not on the truth of Cruz's statements (or anyone else's) but on how those statements reflect on Trump and his agenda.  Trump has said plenty of things I agree with, but the intellectual dishonesty is more than I can accept.  Had Trump and his followers not spent the first 5 months of 2016, and the week after the convention, slandering Cruz, we Cruz supporters wouldn't have such a hard time accepting this praise of Cruz at face value.  And we would be much more able to work together with people who aren't disingenuous.
