Cruz is little more than a polarizing colleague asking individual senators to go out on a limb for him on his long-shot bid to deny Trump the nomination.
Thatâs a pretty milquetoast characterization. I think Sen. Felcher, er, Ms. Lindsey said it best when he clutched his pearls and labeled sCruz either a poison or a gunshot wound; it wasnât entirely clear exactly which. Either way, the Belle of South Carolina succinctly summed up sCruzâs appeal on the hill. Indeed, the only outreach the Cowboy Carnival can expect from his colleagues are hands grasping to firmly clutch his neck and demonstrate the age-old craft of the circus geek.
Ted Cruz is a pathological narcissist little sh*t. He represents for America what the Taliban represents in Afghanistan and the Middle East. He truly is pure unalloyed evil. I can fully understand why his colleagues hate his guts, and I wish them well in that attitude. I loathe Trump, but seriously, Ted Cruz as president? End of the Republic, end of the experiment, game over.
Well he doesnât need just a contested convention. He needs a bona fide miracle.
Absent divine command, they will never nominate him! Which is rational because no educated person will ever vote for him. So who can they nominate? If we believe Ryan, itâs really only Christie, Jebya! () or Rubio or maybe Romney. They all stand to lose as well. And Kasich maybe, it they hold their noses.
All of which means they will be under pressure to give Trump a second look. (Also slated to lose.)
Cruz: âSo um, Iâm going to need a little help on this one to knock out TrumpâŚyou do want to knock out Trump, donât you?â
Everyone else: âFuck you.â
Well Ted, it IS Washington, an outreach effort wonât work.
A âreach-aroundâ? Well, thatâs another story.
I hope it tears them utterly to rags and the whole party goes home disinterested, demoralized and uninspired.
Should be mighty entertaining!
Caption on the front page reads: âItâs not a request that makes for sometimes awkward private conversations.â The writer must mean: âItâs not a request that makes for sometimes awkward private conversations.â
Oh well, itâs only the top story on the front page of the site. Nobody will notice that we donât give a crap about proofreading.
Confirming I am stocking up early!

I donât want to be too cocky, but this is literally popping up to become political schadenfreude!
P.S., Tennis shoes and the cap make for a good look for you!
Weâre going to need more melted butter to put on it all!
when youâre the biggest asshole in the Senate the best you can hope for is that someone will hand you a roll of toilet paperâŚ
What would a Cruz endorsement sound like⌠Heâs an asshole, but at least he is not Trump.
I am sure it would be a struggle for his colleges in The Senate to do much better then that. LOL!
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has decided he may want some help from Washington after all to stop Trump. But alas, his entreaties to his Senate colleagues arenât going very well.
When your whole shtick has been from day one that âI know betterâ just why does he think that anyone anyone, would want to support him. Reality is a bitch is it not, especially one you brought on yourself.
The senator said Cruzâs pitch is that even though he had disagreements with the conference on strategy,
he and his colleagues had shared the same goals.
Well, yes, Cruz is on-point with this aspect.
But screwing anyone with a +melanin-quotient is standard ÂŽ fare.
So I donât think heâs going to get any traction with his âcolleaguesâ
with a lengthier-than-normal pandering phone call.

Good grief man, Iâm trying to enjoy the spectacle and some popcorn â not bazooka-barf popcorn chunks!
LOL⌠moderation in all things, Grasshopper⌠one must be prepared for the long haulâŚ
Only one Senator requested anonymity. The rest openly said no way. Still funny that Grahamnesty is hung out and flapping in the breeze. He does that to himself a lot.
