Let no one fool anyone, the Cruz campaign had their own set of dirty tricks which happened in virtually ever competitive state.

Said a candidate was dropping out, oh, yes, we know that is Ben Carson in Iowa, but wait, the same thing happened with Rubio in Hawaii.

Said Governor John Kasich received Soros money.

Cruz campaign claimed Senator Rubio said things about the Bible, this was a falsehood, the Cruz campaign lied about this and the campaign worker was fired. However, these tricks happened in one state after another.

! No longer available

Cruz lost the Bible belt because voters thought he mocked the Bible.

Cruz-ers come up with a lame excuse about the National Enquirer, time to throw it back at them.

If someone wants to start a Cruz vs. Trump thread, please do so.  No more rehashing of old, moldy arguments on this thread, please.

Disappointed Scott Walker couldn't squeak out a win...
Very disappointing. He's worked wonders in that state. Darn Madison/Milwaukee leftists!

Yes, I find that somewhat shocking.  You would think they would have appreciated what he did.

Ted Cruz is the ONLY politician I have encountered in my considerably long life to do in office EXACTLY what he said he would do while campaigning for office.  He has my vote for as long as he wants it.

I agree. Why people think he's any creepier than any other politician is beyond me.

I lot of his opponents have been on his case for the government shut down, the green eggs and ham evening, yet what he said during that filibuster was true.
In this last election, the Beto ads target this very thing, "Cruz denies health care to....etc".

Cruz during the filibuster called it, he flat-out nailed it, when others wouldn't say a word, and most republicans stayed quiet.

He said premiums would go up, you wouldn't be able to keep your plan, or your doctor, insurance companies would close exchanges, all design to lead us to single payer.

He was dead on 100% accurate about all of it.

McCain called him a loony bird and those of us who support him, Hobbits.

And now? Our state is being over-run by folks who now want single payer, and came close to electing a Senator who agrees with them.

Walker was leading in the ending ballots and then, "pow!", Evers came back.

Quote
Scott Walker campaign eyes Milwaukee's damaged absentee ballots in deciding on recount

The City of Milwaukee reconstructed 2,000 of 47,500 absentee ballots cast in Tuesday's general election and the validity of those ballots will play a role in whether Gov. Scott Walker demands a recount in his loss against Democrat Tony Evers.

The Milwaukee Election Commission on Wednesday acknowledged the small number of damaged and reconstructed absentee ballots while defending its handling of all 47,500 absentee ballots.

The city's late-night tally of its absentee ballots pushed Evers ahead of Walker for good.

@Dexter

The truth is who the Party Pod People wanted is named "Anybody BUT Trump". Trump was the one candidate the RNC and DNC knew they couldn't control.

I think the media wanted a Jeb/Hillary contest, Which Hillary would have won.
Thank God we didn't go that route.

I find it highly ironic that almost all this Cruz bashing is coming from non- Texans.  I find it doubly  ironic that some are calling him creepty, when the POTUS is King of that category.

True, I agree, and I will repeat this line from my last post, "Why people think he's any creepier than any other politician is beyond me."

Here Gobbles is smiling at your post. You’ve proven his theory 100% correct.

Well done.

A young Ivanka in DJT's lap is creepier on its own that anything Cruz has done or said cumulatively.

Well.... I must confess.... I'm in a state of shock (not Texas).   That Twitchy could get 'that many' votes here in Texas.  I guess I was (then) in a state (not Texas) of Denial.    :shrug:

It's a bit scary to realize, now, that there are so many damned leftist idiots here in Texas.  Should have anticipated it though.  Leftists have been streaming into Texas (after fouling their own nests) for decades.  Couple that with the 'no telling how many' illegals that voted for "Beto" (ask O'Keefe)....

and I shouldn't be surprised at all.

Joseph Farah has a couple of good articles on WND.  I think there was massive voting by illegals--and not just in Texas.  It's the only reasonable explanation for the record-breaking "turnout" by Dems.

I'm still shocked (and saddened) that my whole county went left in every race but one.
Harris County went 100% left, where there was Ed  Emmett, who was a popular county judge.

If that was disproven I didn't hear about it. There's still that weird stuff he was sending people in the mail. I don't know. I've always had good intuition with people, and I sense something deeply sinister in Ted Cruz. Maybe I'm wrong.
You are wrong. Cruz is a brilliant constitutional conservative that has argued before the Supreme Court. In Iowa, it was his staff that passed on the speculation from the MSM about why Carson was leaving the state. Cruz had nothing to do with it. Cruz is a deeply honorable man.
Principles matter. Words matter.

I just hope (now) that Gov. Abbott looks into prosecution of violators and investigates these counties re: voter/election fraud and the illegal procedures that have already been uncovered.  We can't have this happen again.
