Heck, TOS still can't quite get behind this.  They're flailing away because they love to hate Cruz, but he's supporting their man.

And on another thread, they cannot understand why Republicans are not supporting Trump 100%.

I just cannot stand the hate over there any more.


So true.

@Smokin Joe

Many at TOS will try to characterize this as Cruz finally falling under the Trump spell/coming to heel and properly serving his master.

Cruz and Trump have been largely aligned on the issues.  Will be happy to take Pence and Cruz after Trump unwinds 8 years of poor policies.

Go Ted Cruz.  Trump's #1 booster.

The irony is rich.

@don-o

The Irony is you think he's...how did you say it..."Trump's #1 booster"...he's merely doing what the rest of us have decided to do...praise him when he's right and call him out when he's wrong.

@ShadowAce

I wasn't going to point out that there is a lot of hate Trump on this site but then I read @Cripplecreek s comment so I decided to come back and let you know that there is a lot of hate here too.

Ya gotta love the willingness of Trump supporters to lie and claim some kind of ideological alignment when what they really mean is that they love Trump's ability to turn on a dime, lie and claim he was the only one who was right all along.

@jpsb You have a very active imagination.

The level of "hate" wouldn't be noticeable in the least if you wouldn't continue to try and stir the pot and create hatred where there is none.

The ironic thing is...the minute he disagrees with a Trump policy or edict...they'll be back to hating on him.

At some point Cruz will speak in favor of separation of powers or freedom of speech and the hate will flow like a mighty river but it will be nothing compared to when congress decides to assert themselves en masse.

There are a couple of issues out there that are likely to touch off a major blow up like Russian sanctions. (And now, fighting between Russian backed groups in eastern Ukraine and western Ukrainians have decided to heat up.)

@Mod1

I do have a very good imagination, thanks, but I was not imagining this

"I find it repulsive that Trump supporters feel that an AG owes complete fealty to Trump."

No one thinks the AG owes "complete fealty to Trump", no one. It is insulting to us Trump supporters to make such a claim. Jeff Sessions went out of his way to make sure the Senate knew that his fidelity was to the law and not Trump.

Normally I let insults to Trump supporters slide by, I've gotten use to being insulted on a daily bases. But the irony of calling the TOS site hateful (which it is) without admitting that we here have a little of that going on too was just to much for me.  I am hoping that I have not earned another time out by pointing this out.

As for stirring the pot, I really do not do that deliberately, but I will defend myself and I will defend Trump when I think he is being unfairly attacked. You have no idea of how many outrageous anti-Triump posts I don't respond too. LOL, I'd be a 24/7 poster here if I commented on all the anti-Trump comments I see.

The irony is thick.  So many posters here obsess with TOS - reading it every day so they can comment here about it. 

I see lots of people praising Ted Cruz on TOS - there's a few exceptions.  If hate is what you are calling some of the sentiments expressed at TOS about Ted Cruz, then you must agree that there are posters here that express hate toward Trump here nearly every day!

At least admit that there is Trump hate here, the same as there is Cruz hate at TOS.

Not at all.  It isn't about fangirling over a personality for Cruz.  It's about principle.  This firing was the right thing to do.
@CatherineofAragon

You answered this post: "Go Ted Cruz.  Trump's #1 booster."

The president can remove the Attorney General - Cruz agreed with the move as he knows it is legal - that is all that was.  That one agreement, and there may be others as time goes on, does not mean Cruz "loves" Trump no matter what he may do. Cruz is not captured by Trump's personality cult.  Let no one forget what he said about Trump the day after the Republican Convention when Trump did his cutting down of Cruz due to Cruz's speech there.  Cruz meant what he said or he would not have said it.  Cruz is smart, he knows what Trump really is, and he will speak up when Trump goes over the line into dictator/disaster mode.

Anyone who disagrees with anything Ted Cruz does is obviously a racist.

If we've learned nothing these past 8 years we've learning even the slightest disagreement with a person within a minority automatically brands you a racist.  CNN told me so - about 5,000 times.

Irony is that one of the biggest bleep stirrers here overlooking the fact there is an extreme amount of hate for people here that don't support Trump as well.

There's like a .01% of people on each side of this issue...the extreme fringe that do nothing but play the victim card claiming the other side rules the roost here.

Both think they're right...and both are wrong.

Indeed Cruz and Trump have been mostly on the same page on a lot of issues; while Cruz had an excellent ground game, Trump dominated the media. In my mind, Trump still owes Cruz an apology and some gratitude for putting his neck on the line and stating that he was voting for him.

I would love to see a Pence/Cruz ticket!  However, I forsee that happening in 4 years; I have a hunch that Trump won't seek renomination.  Pence's participation in the Walk for Life rally is a start, and he needs to continue to stay in the spotlight.
