Ted Cruz: Some of the Trump Damage Is ‘Self Inflicted’

Friday at the Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce in Irving, TX, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said some President Donald Trump political problems were “self-inflicted.”

Cruz said, “What I’m trying to do is just ignore the circus.”

He continued, “There are a great many people in Washington that want the Trump presidency to fail,” he added, “Unfortunately, some of the damage is self-inflicted. I wish that was not the case.”

Yes, some of it is self inflicted; but the main problem is that there are MANY in D.C. who want him to fail and they were all to happy to climb aboard the Clinton train.

While Cruz is correct, he needs to clearly state that he supports the agenda, and he wants Trump to succeed.

His right-minded supporters will understand fully. Cruz' still-bitter supporters will just have to suck it up.

Of course, some of it is self inflicted.  The same can be said about any one who is having some kind of trouble.  If you have a crappy life, things aren't going your way, chances are at least some of it is self inflicted.  Same with your health.  All of us make bad choices, including Sen. Cruz.  Even though I wish he was President, I still know that he too, would have made some decisions that would have incurred self inflicted wounds.  We are all human and make bad decisions.

Ooooh..... Donald is not going to like that (disloyalty) one bit.  Ted better hide.... quick! 

Must.... not.... point... out.... the..... effing.... obvious.

That said, Ted should have gone on to mention the 24/7, ongoing, leftist orchestrated, coordinated and paid for (by aholes like Soros) silent coup attempt to unseat a sitting US president.... just cause that magic "D" isn't by his name.

I agree.  Of course, it is obvious and he didn't have to point it out. We all know it.

What we also know is that most of the damage is inflicted by various evil forces who want to take over our country, destroy an honest election and regain power.

No.... actually "we" (as in most of the nation/America) don't all know it.  In fact, you'd be stunned and amazed at how many clueless Americans there are out there.

Ted is a fundamentally honest and truthful person. One thing I admire about him.

However I would say most of the Trump problems are self inflicted. Not just some.

   Very telling that Cruz waited till the President was out of US airspace before he said this./s

Some of the Trump damage is self inflicted but most is media inflicted and it's not going to stop either.

Trump would be wise to follow Ted's lead and ignore the circus!

The agenda of what? Not fully repealing Obamacare? Passing continuing resolutions on our bloated budget? No entitlement reform? Continuing crony capitalism?

While there may be parts of what Trump is doing - Gorsuch, regulations - Cruz knows Trump is not conservative and doesn't really deserve his endorsement, as evidenced at the convention.

Are you serious?

I bet you are.

I think the "/s" means he is not, or that his apostrophe key is busted.

I don't even know what to say to you.  Cruz has come to terms with the fact that Trump is president and he has supported him in every conservative policy.

You only grudgingly list the Trump accomplishments ... which aren't bad considering the situation he was in with Congress ... and you gleefully list the things he hasn't done.

The negativity on this forum by some people just wears you down.

Perk up.

I think he's serious and put the /s as a cover.  But anything's possible.

   Thank You @Frank Cannon I know that was hard for you to come to my defense /s

[EC]

Duh. Of course some of the damage is self inflicted.

Well I always come to the defense of a good buddy /s

   @Emjay Sen. Cruz is right a significant amount of the Damage is self-inflicted, The Comey Firing just proved this. I wanted the man fired months ago but you have to admit all the conflicting statements from his Administration in the pursuing 5 days was problematic, IMHO.

Perk up.

The bitching on this forum by some people about those who are not ardently supporting Trump enough to suit them, just pisses us off.

Chill out.

Watch the video in its entirety.  He praised Trump's policies and said Trump has done very well with them and his agenda is not DOA because of the Special Counsel.  He sounded supportive to me.

Why? You don't think Trump can twitter attack from anywhere on the globe?

[EC]

Hey! Just realized. His 3 AM tweetstorms are going to be in time for the 9 o'clock news back home.
