Too conservative for Sheldon Adelson? Seriously?

Wrong set of issues. Cruz is a populist demagogue for the TP, who love to do crazy and stupid things to the economy…that’s not something Adelson is on board with.

Now, if Cruz wants to make gambling a tax exempt business while invading the Middle East to expand the Jewish territories as his God intended…then they can have a lovely sit down.

Sen. Ted Cruz is not ā€œall that conservative,ā€ says Sen. Ted Cruz.

Why?

Because…

Cruz also met privately with Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson, whom the Observer reported found the Texan to be ā€œtoo right wingā€ and unlikely to win the 2016 presidential nomination…

Mystery solved.

ā€œI don’t think I’m all that conservative.I prefer to refer to myself as crazy, batshit head up the ass crazy," Cruz said of himself.

ā€œAlso, I have no integrity so what I say to potential Jewish donors will be totally different from what I will say to angry white rednecks.ā€ Cruz went on to say.

LOL! Jesus on a pogo stick this guy is transparent. Yesterday, he’s yammering about Lieberman being the best choice to replace Hagel and today he’s in front of Jewish donors. Dude is a pandering machine.

And yes, the blather about not beating one’s chest and saying ā€œI’m the most conservative guy who ever livedā€ was all of the following: a way of pissing on Mittens (ā€œI’m severely conservativeā€), messaging that he’s learned that lesson (i.e., ā€œDear Base - I’m not going to say it out loud, but we all know I’m super conservative and it’s all just to trick the independents we think are stupidā€), and throwing out some red meat Reagan worship.

Fine. We agree. You’re just a run-of-the-mill dipshit.

It’s a hallmark of certain forms of narcissism. But to his degree—wow. Makes Nixon look like a Boy Scout. Nixon tried to make it sound believable; Cruz just doesn’t care. He’ll say any crazy kind of bullshit and assume people are too stupid to realize it.

He isn’t conservative at all. He’s a nihilist, like all his GOP friends.

And then there’s this from jstreet.org:

The best Republican presidential performance over the past 40 years was Ronald Reagan, receiving 39 percent of the Jewish vote in 1980 (compared to Jimmy Carter’s 45 percent and John Anderson’s 14 percent).

Radical Reactionary is not the same thing as Conservative. There are very few real Conservatives left in Congress, most on the right now ar in the Radical Reactionary camp.

He’s just insane. Not that the two are anywhere near mutually exclusive.

ā€œI don’t think I’m all that conservative. After all, I’m a Dominionist. I believe that the United States should be run by and for Christian fundamentalists. Pretty crazy, huh?ā€

It’s just a chance for Rafael to say something truthful, without his true meaning being grasped by his mouth-breathing donors. Grifters are not necessarily partisan, unless it assists in playing the mark–in this case his Tea Party GOP supporters. A con is a con is a con for sociopaths like Cruz.
