Donald Trump To Dine With Ted Cruz At The White House Wednesday Night

[Emjay]

During my lifetime I have watched many people, try to lead. It is much more, and different, from a contest over who is the "smartest."

For example, a wonky professor type will drone on, and on, like a filibuster, and wind up losing most of his audience.

Alternately an football coach type, or a drill sergeant type, will issue some emotional points, and people are ready to follow.

Effective leadership is situational, in terms of who the followers are, and what the mission is.

If you want to build a refinery or a skyscraper, better have ALL of the disciplines lined up, ready to go on schedule, systems in place, etc.

And you had better have an effective leader. The leaders will usually NOT be the policy wonk.

SMART is situational.

What you say is true but it doesn't hurt to have a brain.

[Emjay]

Classless that you posted a PM publicly, @Emjay. You know better than that!

I know better now but I didn't when I did it.  Sorry to all I offended.

[Lando Lincoln]

Thanks.  I didn't know that.  Is it considered good form to send really nasty private messages?

Just asking.

I suppose it isn't but the only thing we can do is ignore or block those who would send nasty messages.  But, even nasty messages sent privately are best left out of view of the main forum, I think. 

BTW... I've made "mistakes" in handling PM's as well. 

People and weather - impossible to control.

[Silver Pines]

Do you have a list of Cruz's accomplishments yet to prove your assertion?

Some landmark legislation? Anything?

@TomSea

Why was he your candidate if you couldn't name any of his accomplishments?

[TomSea]

 

True American Patriot; if one engages in hyperbole to put down the president, Cotton has committed the ultimate duty for the American people; and not just an empty resume and hearing how great he is.

Heller v. DC 

Medellin v. Texas. 

Cruz successfully sponsored an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that will give Purple Hearts to those killed or wounded in the shooting at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009.

He was one of 80 senators to cosponsor a July 2014 bill to enhance cooperative programs between the United States and Israel.

Cruz joined a bipartisan group of 22 senators behind an August 2014 bill establishing a special envoy to promote religious freedom in parts of Asia.

Cruz was sponsor of a bill that denied admission to the United States any United Nations representative who poses a national security threat (a response to Iran’s chosen U.N. representative). The bill passed unanimously in both the Senate and the House.

Ted Cruz’s Washington friends: The House Freedom Caucus

Posted on Friday, February 26, 2016 by CNN in Election


There may only be one group of lawmakers that butts heads with the Washington establishment more than Texas Sen. Ted Cruz: His biggest supporters — the House Freedom Caucus.

They’re the conservative group responsible for ousting House Speaker John Boehner and the ones who agitate for Republicans to hold firm on budgets even as it throws the government into a shutdown. They relish their reputation as king slayers even as they downplay their status as the House’s new powerbrokers. And they’re the lawmakers happy to call Cruz a friend and happy to share the same enemies with him.

“He has lots of friends here,” said Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan. “When you take on the establishment, it’s easy to get the rap that you’re not liked here. That’s because there are a lot of people in party leadership who don’t like you if you take them on.”

It’s not a reputation Cruz runs from. While front-runner Donald Trump has tried to paint Cruz as unlikeable and persona non grata in Washington, that’s exactly the reputation Cruz has carefully crafted to appeal to his tea party base. Exit polling has shown an electorate overwhelmingly frustrated and angry with the federal government — which is in part why the outsider Trump has soared to a strong lead in the election.

Cruz has built his campaign around being a senator who is not actually of Washington — embracing Trump early in the campaign and spending his time in the Senate making life difficult for Republican leadership. But since Cruz won in Iowa, Trump has won three states in a row. Cruz is now trying to continue his outsider campaign while fending off the “unlikeable” attacks from Trump, the ultimate non-politician.

“Ted Cruz has been on the front lines and, yeah, folks in Washington don’t like him — but folks in America don’t like Washington,” Kansas Rep. Tim Huelskamp said last week.

The ‘bomb-thrower caucus’

Cruz picked up four more endorsements from the group of roughly four dozen Republican House lawmakers in the past week, including Huelskamp, South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford, Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador and Amash, both of whom switched to Cruz after Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul dropped out of the presidential race.

Roughly two-thirds of Cruz’s lawmaker endorsements come from Freedom Caucus members, and he has the support of the vast majority of the group’s members who have endorsed presidential candidates, with 15 of them backing Cruz, according to FiveThirtyEight’s endorsement tracker.

Though members of the Freedom Caucus are quick to point out that they have never formally met with Cruz as a collective, and that lawmakers all make up their own minds on who to endorse, Cruz has an undeniable base of support with the conservative purists.

The Freedom Caucus is a band of about 40 lawmakers who pride themselves on holding conservative values and giving Republican leadership fits.

At a panel discussion at the Heritage Action Conservative Policy Forum featuring four of the group’s leaders, Weekly Standard Executive Editor Fred Barnes fondly introduced them as the “bomb-thrower caucus.”

The conservatives were a constant thorn in Boehner’s side and their opposition was one of the reasons Boehner stepped down from his role and resigned from Congress. The group also stood against Boehner’s first heir apparent, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, causing McCarthy to withdraw his name from contention and convincing Speaker Paul Ryan to run for the job as a shoo-in.

When Cruz pushed for a government shutdown in 2013 to try and force President Barack Obama’s hand on Obamacare funding, Freedom Caucus members helped force that agenda forward.

Members downplay the extent of their coordination with Cruz, though as North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows said, “Whenever we need a Senate counterpart, he’s been very willing to not only listen, (but) put forth ideas.”

That must have taken a lot of time.  Thanks.  By the way, where were many abuses by the IRS on taxation of conservative groups.  This is finally being investigated.

The IRS has way too much power and it is an agency that most everyday citizens fear the most.  We don't think Homeland Security is gonna swoop down on us but the IRS might.  In fact, I think the IRS hounded my brother-in-law to death.

Guess it's time to put Tom on 'ignore' again.

Hah!  I've taken people off of 'ignore' only to realize I needed to put them back again. Some people don't change much.

We will never again be a truly free people for so long as we continue to abide the Marxist income tax and the IRS!

Now that I think about my brother-in-law...which I try not to do cause it makes me mad, I realize that the fair tax in some form is probably the most important thing we could do for the American people.

Ted Cruz has a good tax plan.  We need to get rid of the IRS, fire all the employees and salt the ground.

That and get the feds out of our healthcare.  Both the IRS and 0bamacare/RINOcare give them way too much power over each individual.

I truly believe that getting the fairtax passed into law is the key to unraveling the federal leviathan!
