I agree...I was a Cruz supporter for prez in 2016...until Trump won the nomination...I just wish he would choose his words more carefully at times.

He DOES choose his words carefully --- always.   That's the problem here.

In last night's interview Cruz said he was referring to those who assault cops as terrorists.  It sounded so absurd both we audibly groaned when he said it and neither one of us could remember a time when he referred to cop killers or attackers as "terrorists".

Well ....... Jan 6, according to Cruz, has always been a terrorist attack and assault on our democratic system .....

Nolte: Ted Cruz Stepped in the Media’s Trap, and Tucker Carlson Closed It
https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,458031.new.html#new

I'll grant you the media's enjoying this; but the media didn't set this "trap".  Cruz voluntarily chose --- without prompting from anyone ---- to voice the opinion he did.

If Cruz were a Democrat @Bigun  Cruz would have been repeatng the Democrat fantasy narrative.  That's not news.

No! It's not news that ANY prominent conservative is under a microscope 24/7/365 but no Communist AKA Democrat ever is. THAT is the problem! @Right_in_Virginia

There were three types of domestic "terrorists" on hand in Washington on January 6th: weaponized intelligence services, Antifa and far left groups, and stupid rednecks.  It is still yet to be shown which of these was in the majority.

What if he had empirical evidence that the people physically assaulting police officers were, in fact,
Antifa or BLM activists, and plans on releasing the evid... aww hell, nevermind.    :laugh:

Yes, and I'll grant you that all the Cruz haters and staunch Trump supporters are enjoying this.  Cruz's career is over leaving one less  conservative in Congress.  As I stated earlier ... the last Republican left remaining will finally need to turn off the lights.  It won't be long.  With Cruz now being cast aside, who does the GOP have left?  Paul? Hawley?  Greene?  Jordan?  Certainly not many in number to make a darn bit of difference and they will be picked off one by one.

Sure Cruz chose his words, I get that, but Cruz tried to do what was right with his objection and soon he'll be paying a very high political price.

No worries. He won't be re-elected.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Yeah, I went there, too, and hope he's busy setting a rhetorical trap for the CIs, informants, instigators, and other Feds and employees who I believe led the way and did the most damage. If he could prove that the event was orchestrated and instigated and even perpetrated by people on the federal payroll who did this at the behest of higher-ups, it might peel the hide off a conspiracy to discredit Trump and permit those actors to be branded as terrorists.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@Bigun

The reason this is big news is because a "prominent conservatve" publicly, voluntarily and eloquently  gave support to one of the two great lies in the democrat J6 narrative.  "Terrorism" is is the part the DOJ still uses to harrass any and all --- and will include to indict, literally and figuratively, Trump and his supporters.

Whether or not Senator Cruz remains a voice in the Senate is up to Cruz.  Whether or not he is reelected in 2024 is up to Cruz and Texas @libertybele   

He's only effed up his slim chance for a successful run for President.

I agree.  TRUTH..is hard to digest for a lot of people.  He is plain speaking.  No P.C. JUST THE..TRUTH.  --
-----------
..This, according to Democrat and long-time Manhattan borough president Andrew Stein. Seems like weaponizing the concept of racism is going to eventually result in that term becoming meaningless. They're well on their way to doing that with Trump. Here is what Stein had to say about Trump:

"Donald Trump is no racist. I have known him since 1973 and have never seen any indication or any form of racism. In fact, quite the contrary.

When I was Manhattan Borough president and president of the New York City Council, I asked him numerous times to help black or Hispanic groups, and he always came through, many times without publicity. When a hurricane ravished Puerto Rico in the mid 1980s, I asked many big companies to give various forms of assistance — but the problem was how to get all of this aid down to Puerto Rico. I called Donald Trump, and he provided us with a 727 jet to take all of the donated material down to the island, and he didn't ask for any publicity for that generous act.
My friend, Rev. Floyd Flake, the minister of the largest black church in Queens, asked for some help for his senior center. Again, I called Donald Trump and he wrote a big check.
One day I met an African American woman on the street with her two adorable young kids. She was homeless, and I gave her some money — and then asked Donald to get her into some low-income housing in Queens. He came through, and did so without any fanfare.
When President Trump recently attacked Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), he was not doing so because Rep. Cummings is black but because the president is a counter-puncher. And he is right that Cummings has been a congressman for 22 years and that Baltimore, part of which is in his congressional district, is a mess. The city has gotten worse during his tenure: more poverty, more drugs and more crime."

HOW can you still believe he is a conservative...calling PATRIOT'S TERRORISTS?  YOU ARE A TERRORIST.  You want to talk about Trump supporters?  Ted just resorted to his real persona.  It seems you can't accept that.  POTUS TRUMP has been the same for over 50 years!   He loves America.  He works for free, to help America prosper.  FREEDOM.

lol. Ted Cruz called you that.  It does confirm your lefty side, that you don't understand that.  HE CALLED YOU THAT.  Unless you DON'T consider yourself to be a PATRIOT?   Not I.  Reading comprehension problems?

Given the consensus in this forum, which I believe to be indicative of the vast majority of Trump supporters in this country, I'd say that his political career is absolutely over.
 

@libertybele

I don't think so. I think his current seat is his for as long as he wants it.

I also think any plans he MIGHT have ever had of sitting in the Oval Office just went up in smoke,though.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
