…but he’d be good with a SCOTUS appointment.

Also, either of the Castro brothers. Joaquin says he won’t run, but he polls ahead of Cruz.

Hey, speaking of “weakness” and “appeasement”…

How about a guy who sucks up to someone who accuses his father of killing JFK?

Or brownnoses someone who publicly insults his wife’s looks?

Or licks the boots of someone who questions his American citizenship and patriotism?

Nope, no “weakness” or “appeasement” there, Ted.

JHC Ted…you are as big a psychopath as Trump. You ‘reply’ to things not asked and blather to questions you SHOULD answer. Incredible.

Poor, poor ISIS. If only they had thought to offer Trump compromising info on Clinton, the GOP would be freeing them from Mosul right now.

Yeah that too. Letting a Russian “photographer” with them along with his bag of electronics AKA “camera equipment” into the oval with them. Just mind-numbingly stupid.

He WAS telling the truth that no one was asking about Russia because they were too busy demanding that he not take their access to health care away. Pivoting to Obama – I wondered who would do it first.

Judging what the “American people” care about from what is said by Texans who go to a Ted Cruz event is a little iffy.

He had a couple town halls with pre-selected softball questions.

He may not realize it, but Texas is a big state.

Like imposing crippling sanctions after Crimea and Ukraine? Supporting international sanctions?
Arming and supporting Ukraine?
Countering Russia in Syria?
Signing the Magnitsky Act?

Those kind of appeasements, lyin’ Ted?

All appeasement all the way down – like imposing sanctions and expanding NATO. That must be why Putin tried to punish Hillary, because he felt so appeased.
