Fox News also bears responsibility for people like Cruz.

TPM certainly does - they’ve been feverishly fluffing him from the moment he arrived on the national stage.

FoxNews doesn’t bear responsibility for Ted, so why should they for Trump?

It is ironic that FoxNews has probably been the worst thing to happen to the GOP since Nixon resigned. FoxNews and talk radio have so radicalized ā€˜conservative voters’ that they are now ungovernable.

Ridiculous self-awareness fail. He and the rest of the GOP/Teatrolls soak the rags, stick them in the bottles and hand them to crazy people who they have deliberately angered and worked into a racist, Christo-fascist, xenophobic frenzy of ignorance and derp, and then pretend they bear no responsibility for the ensuing molotov shitstorm?

Watch how fast the MSM lets him and Team White Fright get away with this narrative…blink…oops, missed it already…

Yes! Cruz must bear some responsibility for Trump.
Cruz’s attempts to shut down the government make it seem to the crazy GOP base that that is acceptable behavior from a legislator.
And when it can’t be done, because the grownups won’t allow it, the crazy base votes for someone who will try to get thing done including along with promises (i.e., suggestions) for even wilder ideas!

If Murdoch were an agent of a hostile foreign government he could not have done a better job in destroying the perspectives of two whole generations of Americans with FOX ā€œnewsā€.

If Reagan were an agent of a hostile foreign government he could not have done a better job in
destroying the perspectives of hundreds of millions of Americans with ā€œfor-profitā€ MSM bullshit

And who bears responsibility for you, Teddy Boy?

Recently, a Fox News anchor also expressed regret that he didn't press Trump harder on comments he made pushing a tabloid story linking Cruz's father to President John F. Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald.

Did you know that there are currently twice as many Democratic candidates as there are Republican?

Of course, none of them have had reality shows. Guess they should have starred in ā€œHere Comes Hillary Boo Booā€ or ā€œSurvivor: Vermontā€ for more frequent coverage.

Oh, there’s lots of room up on that Old Rugged Cross, Ted…

Michael Berry has the M-F,8-11am and 5-7pm time slots on conservative talk radio here in the Houston area. I catch part of his morning and afternoon show several days a week. For months he has been berating Trump and his Trump supporter listeners and they have been berating him. Some days he says ā€œI’d like to welcome all the listeners who have vowed never to listen to me again.ā€ :slight_smile:

Nevertheless, you bear responsibility for being an ill-tempered, unlikable, callow, inexperienced and altogether repulsive individual who ran a horrible campaign for an office that you were clearly unsuited for.

FOX: Sure. We are the ones who decide who gets to be the nominee. Its our job.

Well, listen, there’s time for recriminations.

That’s mighty Christian of you, Christian Ted. In Christian Ted’s version of religiosity, there’s always time for recriminations. In fact, it’s entirely about recriminations. And retaliations. Yeah! And for that matter, incinerations. There’s always time for incinerations!

That’s what Christian Ted’'s Jesus would do: He’d bomb innocent Syrians ā€œback into the stone ageā€ – just like Christian Ted said! And who’s the fucking Commie who said all this love thy neighbor as thyself shit?

Recriminate! Retaliate! Incinerate! That’s what Jesus would do!

(Sorry, I got a little off topic in my self-edit of this comment.)

Hey Ted, remind me what your strategy was again?

Oh yes, it was to suck up to Trump, to make sure never to ever criticize him regardless of what outrageous thing came out of his mouth, hoping to vacuum up his supporters when his numbers tanked - only they didn’t.

How about you take some responsibilty for your failed campaign?

If you listen to the interview, Cruz is talking with a thick faux Texas twang that was nowhere in evidence during the campaign. The guy is SUCH an oily demagogue.
