Discussion: Ted Cruz: Cantor Defeat Shows 'Conservative Base Is Alive And Well'

Discussion for article #223813

Which should tell YOU, Mr. Ted “Carnival” Cruse, that your time is coming and all that money you spend 90% of your senatorial time working to collect, instead of doing your job as a US Senator, won’t help you.

The other 10% is spent traveling. Which is a good time to pander also.

Republicans gerrymandered districts come back to bite them in the butt. Every single thing these losers do comes back and bites them. Do they learn? Hell no. Nature of the willfully ignorant to never learn.

When Cantor isn’t conservative enough for you, you have gone WAYYYYYY to far to the right. Soon, moderate Republicans will start voting the morons out, hopefully starting with the Canadian guy!

Cantor: It’s what’s for dinner.

Soon, Ted will be too moderate. True believers will scorn his support of drivers licenses and municipal fire departments.

Cruz is dangerous to America in the same way that his hero Joe McCarthy was.

And Cruz will go down in flames just like McCarthy did—sooner rather than later.

Can anyone remember a sitting member of Congress celebrating the primary loss of one of his own party’s members like this? Especially one in a leadership position? Maybe I’m forgetting something, but I can’t remember this happening, at least this blatantly.

As much as I hated Cantor and everything he stood for and did, I hate Cruz much more.

me either, but then no one should expect Cruz to behave with any sort of class.

I’m sorry, what? Did Cruz somehow predict Cantor’s loss?

If not, what is the point of this story?

Even better news is he will be taking his entire party down with him.

Hope so. But of course in the McCarthy era we had a press that was not beholden to false equivalencies (Chuck Todd) and to the GOP itself (David Gregory, Wolf Blitzer, John King, etc.). Heck, CNN gleefully sponsored the Tea Party debates. Edward R. Murrow must be rolling in his grave at the thought of those “journalists”.
