I applaud Ted. When he sees wrong he calls it out and if the left utterly hates him so much, that means he is doing something right.

I voted for Ted in the 2016 primaries and was pissed at DJT for the personal attacks. It took me a long time to get over that. I came around on Trump because I liked a lot of the pushback on the media and dems that he showed and even a lot of his policies. (Even though DJT chickened out on full repeal of O'care with many Reps).

So like Ted, I came to support DJT wholeheartedly and see the election as fraud. So I don't fault Ted for standing for whats right even if it is standing side by side with someone that campaigned against him with personal attacks.

Big tech getting out of control has been a concern of the D’s for some time now. As you probably remember at the beginning of his term Trump and the R’s removed some of the privacy protections Obama administration put in to protect citizens from tech. Perhaps this will be the rare bi-partisan issue going forward?

I thought he did start his own party? Wasn't it the teabag party?

Don’t forget that act of courage


Kamala called Biden a racist to his face during a debate then became his running mate just months later.

Guess you’re ok with that though, hypocrite

2024 Should be a Cruz landslide.

But it won't be, because so many MAGAs will vote 3rd party

Cruz has to win the middle, the silent majority. The orange guy never got that.

hasn't done shite


Exactly what should he have done???

He has zero power - all he has is the ability to put forth a rational argument supporting his position. That is all any man without authority to do more can achieve.

His position has not wavered - he has kept the same principles since the first time I ever heard him speak.

You wimperbots who bleat "what has he DONE!!!!!" never offer a scintilla of "why didn't he do THIS!!!"

gtfoh.

He should form a third party then


yeah right - then have all the power of the Libertarian Party - or the Green Party.

He could then preach in living rooms every 3 or 4 months to an audience of 7.

Maybe even show up on the ballot in a general election where he might be mentioned in a pro forma recitation of the "other" candidates.

The ONLY practical solution is to attack the spineless useful idiots WITHIN the GOP and rid the GOPe from the vocabulary. Anything else is fake smoke.

Had to look up the author - thought I had written this - sounded so much like many of my prior posts.

Cruz 2024!!!!! In my opinion he may be one of the few people who can save the GOP at this point.

There is so much global lobbying money and compromised political machine in the GOP it is literally impossible to reform that party.

Ted Cruz posturing for 2024. Not actually standing up to fight anything.


He will not have my vote.

This. Politics as usual cannot be allowed to continue. Sadly it doesnt matter now, they have the voting system setup to keep themselves in power.
