He was the Republicans' nominee because the Republicans voted for him in the primary, unless you are saying the cons just vote for whoever Faux News tells them to vote for.

Once the Senate came back in session, he got the hook. All he proved is that he is a very large bag of wind, something most of us knew already.
You have to let them talk. That's the law. When I said they stopped him, I meant the GOP using hard language rejecting Cruz and basically isolating him outside the party.

Default What a fool Cruz is

Look in the dictionary under "time-wasting, blundering, babbling idiot", and under the sub-heading "Republican" is a picture of Cruz.

..and who exactly voted for him to be the candidate? Obviously the majority of right wing voters. Please tell us who in that field of right wing candidates during the primaries could have beat Obama. The only moderate guy, Huntsman, was kicked to the curb.

It must have been all that voter fraud the right is always complaining about that got Romney to the top of the ticket.

I think that TC believes that old axiom that any publicity is good publicity. Its not and he is living proof of it. This was a horrible stunt and that is all it was a stunt. I feel like he was going to come out and try to sell me some hair tonic.

Boozman also slammed Cruz for suggesting Republicans were in favor of the three-year-old law even though all of them opposed it and have repeatedly voted to repeal it.

"Staring at Cruz, Boozman said he hasn’t been bullied since the seventh grade and he wouldn’t be bullied now."

"Several Republicans cheered Boozman and one quipped: “A sleeping bear had been awoken.”

I have written this for many months and it continues to be true. No one except for far right wingers who listens to Ted Cruz speak likes him afterwards. I truly hope conservatives nominate him for the presidency. He'll get crushed badly.

You forgot his Darth Vader impression. Cruz is fighting against the Nazis, the red coats, and the evil Empire.
