GOP Old Guard Screaming “Anyone but Cruz!”Since Jeb Bush dropped his candidacy for President, the old guard GOP has been scrambling to change direction. They had banked heavily (to the tune of $130 million dollars) on Jeb carrying the establishment torch. If the GOP is good at anything, they are good at numbers and at providing sacks full of money. This time however, they miscalculated the former and spent too much of the latter.
Now, based on recent news reports, the establishment has switched to Marco Rubio. He is their establishment poster child and while they would have preferred a seasoned Jeb Bush, they will go with the candidate most malleable to their plans.
In all of this, as much as they may shake their head and waggle their fingers, they are not concerned as much as they would lead you to believe about Donald Trump. I said before, the numbers crunched and they have seen his cap. He cannot defeat Hillary Clinton and even if he does, he will deal. He has said “he can be anyone he needs to be at the time”. So they will back the GOP nominee but unfortunately, in their minds, it should be anyone but Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz works in Washington DC but he is not an establishment insider. He is not the GOP’s poster boy and the fear of him winning is tangible by both the Democrats and the old guard republicans. Ted Cruz scares the heck out of them because he is steadfast to conservative values that represent us but the old guard surrenders every day.
Ted Cruz stands for the constitution and upholding the laws with no exceptions. The old guard finds exceptions to everything and if a deal is to be made, they want a guy who will deal. They want someone who will tell you it is “good for the people” as they roll the constitution into a ball and toss it in the trash. They have that with Marco Rubio but they could never get that from Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz wants to eradicate a number of agencies that stifle American growth and are part of the big government machine. He wants to cut taxes, deregulate and unchain the American public’s growth machine. The problem is, that diminishes the big government machine. It hampers their ability to control the public and dominate. Both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio want to increase government control and continue the path of “we know what’s good for you” policies.
Ted Cruz is committed, driven, open and one of the most brilliant legal minds in our century. He is not afraid to take a stand and if that stand causes him to lose political points but upholds the will of the people; you can bet he will stand and never give a damn what the DC insiders think. If you are a GOP insider and dealmaker, this scares you to death.
Make no mistake, the GOP is not the only one that fears Ted Cruz. Donald Trump and Marco Rubio have tag teamed to smear Ted Cruz as their biggest rival. Other than a few insults from Trump to Jeb Bush, whom else have they attacked? Who do they see as a threat? The threat is Ted Cruz and they do not debate the issues with him. They do not call his policies radical. In fact, over the course of the campaign, they have copied many. Instead, they scream “liar” loud and often and hope it sticks.
My article would be too long to go into the false accusations against Ted Cruz but one thing is abundantly clear. The GOP does not fear Donald Trump because win or lose, he can be dealt with since he is the “master of deals”. They do not fear Marco Rubio because he has proven he is a party player and will cut a deal faster than light travels. They fear Ted Cruz because first and foremost, the only deal Ted Cruz has is with the American people and to do what he says he will do. If that makes him unpopular with the party, that’s fine. We the people are not so found of the party and if they are afraid of him, he is our man.
