U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has one of those rare opportunities to redeem his entire political career by supporting President Trump on January 6, 2021. This is a rare second-chance; let us hope Ted Cruz has the grace, humility and strength to see it.
In 2016, during the RNC convention to nominate Donald Trump, a bitter and divisive Ted Cruz self-immolated on a national stage.
The collapse was so catastrophic when Cruz attempted to return to the convention donor suite in the Cleveland auditorium he was kicked out by Cruz’s main financial backers, Robert and Rebekah Mercer. Senator Cruz never recovered.
Two years later, having lost the base of support from a MAGA community that did not forget, Senator Ted Cruz was on his back facing a Senate challenge from democrat Beto O’Rourke and he needed President Trump to rally in Texas on his behalf. Trump came to Texas in 2018 and lifted Cruz to a narrow victory.
Two years later, with the electoral challenge now established for January 6, Ted Cruz has the rare opportunity, a second-chance, to elevate himself back to a political position of influence… While we await the outcome, here is the 2016 reminder.
Before Ted Cruz walked onto the 2016 convention stage in Cleveland, Donald Trump had a very good idea what was about to happen. Without pre-planning, or staged set-ups, Trump knew what to expect because Donald Trump has an exceptional political sense; he knows how to read his adversaries.
Throughout his life, Ted Cruz has exhibited a character of division; entirely tone-deaf to the people he encounters and leaves in his wake. Those who knew Cruz in grade school and college have talked about how Cruz’s abrasive personality made him a lonely person despite his intellect.
Toxic abrasiveness is the same reason why President George W Bush would not elevate Ted Cruz in the White House 2001-2005. Attorney Cruz was 30-years-old and arrogantly thought he should have been a candidate for Attorney General; unfortunately, no-one else did.
Years later it was toxic abrasiveness that drove candidate Ted Cruz to run for Senate in 2011 – to show those same political voices he carried a stronger political tool box than he was ever given credit for.
That same toxic abrasiveness in 2013 is what created a lonely, divisive and ineffective Senator -with zero legislative accomplishment- who announced a presidential bid only 2 years after election to the Senate. And it’s that same personality issue that creates a need for a disguise to be successful.
Apologies to baseball fans, but Ted Cruz is the political equivalent of Ty Cobb. Despite skills, no teammate could get along with either S.O.B.
Donald Trump can sense these things the way most of us can sense the same given enough time around similar characters. As a consequence when Trump invited Ted Cruz to speak at the RNC Convention, he knew what was most likely going to happen. After all, it was entirely predictable.
The only risk to Donald Trump was if Cruz broke character and came to Cleveland to deliver a unity speech. That would have elevated Cruz. However, by mid-afternoon yesterday any doubts about what direction Cruz was going to take were easily dispatched by looking at his actual engagements.
Senator Ted Cruz returned to the national political scene exactly where he left off after losing Indiana. A review of Cruz twitter feed merely confirmed the same cast of characters, the same tone, the same delivery and the same predictable approach heading into the evening.
The only thing that remained last night was for Trump to see how far Cruz was willing to expose himself, to display his toxic abrasiveness on a national stage.
One can only imagine candidate Trump standing out of sight at the back of the auditorium listening to the delivery. Trump listening as Cruz began to describe how divided we are as a nation. Listening to Cruz explain how the values of each state have no commonality.
Yep, exactly as anticipated – After the proselytizing introduction about the police officer’s families killed in Dallas and Baton Rouge, Senator Ted Cruz was delivering a self-absorbed disunity speech at a Republican National Convention and referencing his own campaign: “our campaign”.
The building division was only moderately interrupted when Cruz looked directly into the 12 o’clock camera nineteen minutes later and said:
[19:00] …”and to those listening, please, don’t stay home in November”…
APPLAUSE (audience thinks he’s messaging the #NeverTrumpers to not sit out) – But, wait for it….
APPLAUSE CONTINUES (audience still thinking he’s messaging the #NeverTrump)… But, wait for it…..
Boom, there it is:
….”if you love our country, and you love our children as much as I know that you do, stand and speak and vote your conscience – vote for candidates up and down the ticket, who you trust to defend our freedom and to defend the constitution”….
Wait, wut?
The divisive, too-cute-by-half “vote your conscience, up and down the ticket” commentary came out exactly as Trump thought it would three weeks earlier when he offered the speaking engagement.
That’s the moment toxic Cruz lost the audience, and abrasive Ted self-detonated.
The audience chants: “we want Trump, we want Trump, we want Trump”!
But it wasn’t until Cruz gave the snarky response..:
“I appreciate the enthusiasm of the New York delegation”
..that visible loud BOOS commenced.
And they grew louder, and louder, and louder. As the entire audience began to recognize the arrogance of slighting the home-team delegation for the Republican Nominee for President, at his own convention.
From that moment, Cruz lost the entire convention floor. Chaos began as the pontificating abrasiveness continued with few paying attention to the speaker’s remarks.
It was the snarky slight to the New York delegation that affirmed everything Trump thought would possibly happen.
It was also the arrogant poke in the eye to the audience that finally brought Spartacus Trump into visibility within the auditorium as the audience shouted “Endorse Trump”.
Toxic Ted Cruz left the stage amid a thunderous chorus of boos, having diminished himself spectacularly on the grandest political stage of them all.
The entire audience, and millions of people around the world saw first hand the toxic and abrasive nature that is Ted Cruz unmasked. WATCH – Prompted
The rest, as they say, IS HISTORY.
Only Cruz sycophants were left believing Ted Cruz had any political viability left at all.
Much like the White House in 2001, the republican base won’t forget the sheer audacity and arrogance. Worse yet, donors could never trust a candidate willing to expose his own conceited nature on such a large scale.
Senator Ted Cruz ended his political career the same way he came into it, all alone.
January 6, 2021 is a very rare opportunity.
Cruz has been learning for 4 years. Maybe he learned from that experience too.
You all are kidding right. Cruz is advocating for a 10 day pause to “investigate”. Investigations is where the truth goes to be whipped, stripped, and hung on a cross.
Cruz is working with bone spurs to circumvent our Presidents inauguration. NO TWO WAY ABOUT IT.
Nail on head
I agree, but we need to pray for this man’s soul, same for Pence, and all the others.
Well – Cruz wants them to hold the senate. Cruz is early enough into his political career and young enough he can’t ride off into the sunset like Mitch, Richard Shelby, Thune and that generation. Cruz is also “republican” enough he can’t plausibly switch over to the democrat side. The steal ends elections, Cruz is probably inclined to make more than a passing effort at this even though his authorization came from McConnell.
Eric:
You and I know he is just helping the Uniparty make the fraudulent election legitimate!
The Uniparty’s “No Standing” courts have done their job.
The Uniparty’s MSM have done their job.
Now powerless Republicans are doing their job! They will object and fail.
They’ve opened this pandora’s box. Well actually Hawley opened it by saying he would object, and that forced their hand. They can’t have something they can’t control going on. I’m 50/50 on Cruz in this instance. I’d guess he’s motivated as always by his own self interest. But he has to know putting up a faux-fight and losing damages him more than just having stayed on the sideline.
For Cruz, since he’s going down this road he has to draw blood in this thing. Otherwise he looks incompetent and weak. Everyone knows this thing was stolen, and there’s massive fraud. He can’t jump up and down, pound the table and come away empty-handed. My guess is either McConnell kills this somehow and they say “We tried” while whooping and hollering some more, or they only “find” fraud in 2 states.
Their problems are multi-faceted in that though. So if they think they’ll only “reverse” two states – which do they pick? My guess is Arizona and Georgia. Arizona because their legislature is the weakest and ready to go anyway. Georgia because there’s so much video evidence, fake ballots and it’s just too obvious. But doing that torpedoes some of their state level RINOs. And they run the risk of an actual court hearing on Wisconsin or Pennsylvania. Giving the President more time is not a good thing for China, it only gets worse.
2016 – They never thought she’d lose
2020 – We can get this over with quickly
Mr. Cruz
The World is Watching. History can be made. You have the power to decide when your career ends… or really begins. The Truth isn’t difficult.
Sure I’ll be in the minority, but I think he rises to the occasion. He and the President seem to have come to a peace. The President even asked him to argue the SCOTUS case had it been accepted. He no doubt can prosecute the case for one of the states, I’d guess Georgia, as Hawley likely takes Penn as he singled it out. Johnson would take his home state of Wisconsin. He knows the deal there.
Whatever his true motives, I think Cruz takes the reigns here
Fish,
I agree with your assessment. I was for Cruz before I was for Trump. He is one of the smartest men ever to hold a Senate seat, and I think he does have principles and a conscience. If I had to bet, I’d bet that he goes as all in as humanly possible to pull this thing out for President Trump, knowing that if he could be shown as Trump’s close assistant in winning in the Senate, he’d be the top candidate in 2024. Right now it looks like Pence is questionable, so I’d say Cruz has both right and opportunity pushing him to fight the strongest fight he can make for President Trump.
Need 3 more guys who can prosecute a state. So much info from each state they need someone to focus on each state. My SC boy Lindsey is actually an adept attorney, he’d be a good one to add. Need Cotton on board, that would be 5.
I’m sure the Uniparty is looking for an escape hatch here, and there are certainly enough Romney’s in the Senate to give them one. But 22 Republicans are up for reelection in 2022. Not sure how any can vote to certify honestly. Going to be 50-48 as Georgia won’t be settled, so room to lose one person?
Odds still against it unless something earth shattering drops, but I’m all for making it as miserable as possible for all of them
Pence is a snake I think Lots of rumours on Twitter
And look how he opposed the lawsuit against him a few days ago
https://themarshallreport.wordpress.com/2020/12/26/why-was-there-a-pence-ryan-for-president-website-in-oct-2016-who-is-loyal-to-the-president/
Yes, he takes the reigns and shoots the horse dead!
Not if he has higher aspirations, which he does
REINS if it’s a horse!
REINS
AHHH Sundance….You are hitting on all cylinders tonight…And yes, we are about to find out what Ted Cruz has left…so to speak!!!! I will NOT under-estimate what is about to come to fruition…The Decepticons AND the dem sycophants are about to be exposed like never before…God Willing, This NATION that some of us have fought for and given blood will not be in vain…
“Dead Skunk in the middle of the road”…..well, great classic song….but we’d like to see the skunks hanging from the tallest tree in the center of town…. as a deterrent to the other fellow travelers in the audience.
I will settle for a “herd” of “dead skunks in the middle of the road” on all roads leading to Washington DC (and Ottawa too).
I think this is the 1st time since Cruz has been in the Senate he actually has anyone following his lead. Or did he just jump in front of the parade?
Option 2 – good chance this was “allowed” by Mitch after Hawley broke ranks and Tuberville was going to.
And this is why the Senate has become nothing more than Kabuki Theater.
Cruz will eventually have all the RINOs and GOPe behind him.
I have believed for weeks that the Swamp Repubs would jump all over he election fraud issue, once Trump is safely OUT of office.
People are clueless if they think GOPe is “too weak” to fight election fraud. They want to use the fraud issue to increase their own power for their own agendas. Not to help Trump.
After Trump is out, they publicize all the most easily understandable fraud, destabilize Biden/Kamala, raise money, fool niave MAGA that “they finally get it”.
I don’t think Trump supporters have internalized the full nature of the cynicism operating here.
I assure you we have…
There may be a small percentage of “Republicans” who will give the RINOs the benefit of the doubt and continue to support them, believing that “this time it will be different…” but that will be very small percentage indeed and it won’t matter anyway because the curtain has been pulled back and most of the country now understands that we do not have two political parties, from which we the voters choose. We have a uniparty and they make ALL the decisions. If Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley or any of the others want to have any political future at all, this is their last stand and they had better choose to fight!
VikingMom, You are a mighty kind individual …..
RINOs get nothing from us except a swift kick out the back screen door into the dark of night…..
No mercy here for their kind….and no desire to have them sharing the same MAGA / KAGA stage.
As the song goes … “hit the road jack and don’t come back.”
@ VikingMom…
Ted Cruz has zero credibility. He’s a modern day snake oil salesman who would sell his own grandmother a dead cat and tell her it was a fur pillow. “Don’t mind the smell, Granny. It’s just been in storage for awhile…”
Sad, but true! But thank you for a much needed laugh!
Oh, indeed we have.
And I’m a single-issue voter who will never fall for it again.
Republicans have a great deal to fear, so be sure to politely remind them of the looming destruction of the GOP as you hammer them with emails and call then incessantly during these final few days of relative peace.
Why in the word would you imagine anyone in congress will “jump all over election fraud” when it is what put them in office. I do not believe there is one politician in DC except for our President that has not paid for their dominion results. There is just too much money at stake to leave it up to us lowly voting citizens.
“Why in the word would you imagine anyone in congress will “jump all over election fraud” when it is what put them in office.”
Because they are already doing it with this “Cruz Commission” ?
Deliberately constructed to be too late to help Trump, but the timing works fine for them.
Yep, Uniparty theater at its best!
Zing…………truth is tough……..it’s good to remember and not forget……….ball in your court Ted Cruz.
BTW, no comments available on the linked threads from CTH past?
ted born in canada to cuban supporter of castro father and mother who voted and lived in canada. natural born? never. figured if the indonesian oreo (black outside/red inside) could pull it off so could he.
Yu got that right merrie.
Exactly. He even said he was ineligible, then changed his mind.
Cruz also helped with the failed SCOTUS Texas case. We know exactly what he is going to do. He hates Trump and his family with a passion as well as their “New York Values”. And his half cracked wife works for Goldman Sachs.
More swamp guardian smoke and mirrors that will sadly fool a lot of the battered and cucked base.
I voted for Cruz and had very high hopes for him. He is a brilliant man. I’ll pray God uses him to save the Republic.
Maybe better to pray God wrest him from the clutches of satan.
I actually voted for him in the 2016 primary because I also thought he was brilliant – and a strong Constitutional Conservative. If he is, he will fight with his heart and soul to stop this attack on our Constitution and on our President. Any game-playing and he’s done.
It is VERY hard to be an HONEST “constitutional conservative” when by your very run for POTUS you are violating its requirements. I give the same disqualifier to Mark Levin and his supposed US Constitution knowledge.
Something important to consider that I almost forgot. That 2018 Cruz election is one I am convinced was a also manipulated and I wrote about it here back then. If you look at the % & # margin for Cruz and Beto and then the one for Abbott, the difference can’t be explained by anger at Cruz from the RNC debacle alone.
I am convinced of this not only because of what I saw on the ground here but because of similarities in Florida between tbat Senate & Governor elections plus the Arizona elections. Mathematically the numbers were too similar IMO. It is highly likely Cruz knows his own election was manipulated and sees s a way to right that wrong and bring election integrity back knowing what a threat to the nation is. It may even be a way to expose what happened to his election.
The anger at Cruz was a convenient way to explain a far too close margin between Cruz and Beto. However it was too close to explain away Texans biting for far left wing gun grabbing socialist Beto. Plus a lot of the far left loons opposed Beto because of his gentrification in El Paso. There was even a mural painted in East Austin to oppose Beto for the gentrification.
In 2018, MI AG race had 1 MILLION more votes than the governor’s race.
Strange, huh?
2018 was a dress rehearsal for 2020
There is video on YT of the KY governors race where numbers were subtracted from Bevin and Given to Beshear in real time, just like Trump in 2020
Same in NC this year. RINO Senator Tillis got more votes that President Trump or go along to get along republican governor candidate Dan Forrest. People voted for Trump and then down ballot republican. We had machine ballot manipulation in NC!
Cruz is ambitious. Cruz loves the limelight. He also loves America and hates commies.
He saw the MAGA Trump Rally crowds and in his lack of self-awareness probably dreams of duplicating that feat. He knows if the steal goes through that (unrealistic) dream is dead forever.
Cruz’ abrasiveness and debating/legal skills applied in chairing this “commission” situation might actually be put to a good use to help PDJT, since a task-master will be needed to “herd cats” to get a proper investigation done instead of a Barr/Wray style cover-up – although in Cruz’ internal calculations Cruz is helping himself.
Prayers up for President Trump.
The only reasons for a Republican not to support Trump are that they bought their own personal election from Dominion/Smartmatic or they’ve been compromised by China or the cartels.
There is a third reason here that Sen. Cruz may very well use (to his detriment) and that is an unyielding narcissism that blinds him to reality and convinces his ego that he is greater than President Trump and can still become a great leader once President Trump is out of the White House.
I am hoping that Cruz understands what 75 to 80 million voters demand and that he knows how to make it happen. However I am not holding my breath.
Someone told me that “Lying Ted” does it all for show, given that it’s very unlikely that Congress will refuse to certify Biden (Dems control the House for a start).
What should I reply…?
It’s Lyin’ Ted, not Lying Ted.
Jus say, yup, you got that right! The only issue is to see what cards the Prez has yet to play. The endgame is still very much up in the air.
Thank you. Great recap.
Wonder if Cruz will remember that loyalty is one of the things our President does ask for, at the least respect for help given by the President in the past which clearly Cruz would not still be a Senator but for that help. What are the odds of Cruz accepting this rare chance at redemption? In the meantime, I’m counting on President Trump and his team to have what needs to happen already gamed out.
Trump must use the EO if he doesn’t they will still use everything they can to take him and his family out. They can’t if in jail. Clean it all up FIB,DOJ all of them.
Let Trump be Trump, and expose the entire Swamp before he releases the Kracken!
I will put aside my extreme dislike of this slimeball and pray that he does the right thing. God, rain the fire of conviction into his brain and heart to support Trump (and be humble for once). Amen.
The roll-call vote on Jan 6th will determine if the Republican Party continues to be viable. Those voting against Trump might as well go home, their careers will be over.
I think it comes down to whether Trump retains the presidency or not. If not, I believe there is no choice other than to start a new party. Current Republican office holders can either join us or not.
No, we don’t want proven Rino traitors!
Agree.
A perspective on 1/6/21.
The day VP Pence becomes the loneliest person on earth.
You, Mr. Vice President, have been given the unique responsibility to stand tall and strong for TRUTH or be consigned to history’s long list of losers and cowards.
There can be no doubt about the fraud perpetrated on our country by the enemies of TRUTH. Hence it falls to you to stand up to the pressures being exerted on you by the enemy.
You have the knowledge of the Constitution and your unique position to effect a just and righteous end to the fraud and declare President Trump the truthful winner of the 2020 election!
As a Christian, I pray that you as a Christian will stand tall and not fall.
God bess you and President Trump .
Should he not back Trump. He can kiss 2024 and beyond goodbye.
One would think Pence would be smart enought to understand that. But then again one would think the conservatives on SCOTUS would understand that by not hearing the TX case they basically put themselves into the minority, permanently, once the Dhimmies pack the court.
Pence has already signaled he will stab President Trump in the back!
Pence is not presidential material, is he? Let’s not forget Pompeo and DeSantis.
Dare to be a Daniel and an Esther. For such a time as this . . .
absolutely and positively
He knows that if Trump has this election stolen from him…or he ought to know…that millions of disenfranchised Trump supporters will no longer bother to vote in a system that is so blatantly corrupt and that he and all other RINOs like him will be relegated to the ash bin of history.
I don’t know how a Republican thinks they would ever be elected in this version of a “fair” election. If Trump the most popular president with support everywhere can get it stolen, then anybody who isn’t Trump has zero chance.
the republican base won’t forget the sheer audacity and arrogance
EVER.
”Vote your conscience” is all the self -destructive RINO’s have?
Mitch McConMan is next. Done, ? burnt to a crisp…..
p.s. Cruz didn’t follow the Constitution : He’s not a natural born citizen, (and he didn’t call out Commie Kami either). He is a revisionist historian
Since most of the political class has no conscience that leaves it pretty much wide open to “Vote your self-enrichment”
“January 6th Ted Cruz Has a Rare Second-Chance At Redemption, But Don’t Expect Him to Take It…“
Right now, in these dark days, I’ll take what I can get. Not a whole lot of other Senators to put any faith in. I’m sure not putting my hopes on Mitt Romney.
I pray he means to help save America. I worked for his presidential campaign in 2016. I had the Tee-shirts and bumper stickers. All were destroyed on the night he refused to endorse President Trump. Somehow I always let Texan politicians break my heart. W!
Is Cruz finally, actually “surging”?
Yes, down the sewer
pipe!
It is HERO or ZERO time Senator Cruz. Those who would be heroes have an opportunity to become heroes by ensuring the greatest criminal elections fraud in the history of the U.S. is negated and the best president since George Washington (i.e. Donald J. Trump) is victorious in the election he rightfully won. Ensure President Trump is inaugurated for a second term. Failure to accomplish that objective, whether by honest failure or political deception games with “China” Mitch and the rest of the RINO deceivers, will leave those who handed this nation over to the radical leftist state atheist immoral Marxists to enforce their authoritarian Maoism and persecution of the righteous on behalf of the immoral as traitor ZEROs in the view of us patriots who now are 73 percent of the GOP. The future of the GOP is at stake… along with the nation. We won’t stay in a GOP that failed and handed the U.S. over to the enemy in a deceptive political charade. We will never support traitors who sold out the nation to the enemy to enrich themselves like they did in the “good old days” when U.S. jobs/U.S. capital investment/U.S. invention-innovation was handed over to foreign nations en-masse while simultaneously further destabilizing the U.S. labor market by in-sourcing as much cheap labor as possible. We will never support endless wars so politicians can feed off PACs from the military industrial complex. We will NEVER support ANY of that EVER again. It’s over: no more games. We’re at the Alamo. Senator Cruz and EVERY U.S. politician will answer the question by what they do (which “we, the people” will closely examine for years to come after the fact). Are you a HERO or are you a ZERO? We will reward you with our support and love if you are a HERO. The opposite is also true if you are a ZERO. Show yourself to be one or the other now!
I hope Cruz is not reading all these comments least he be even less likely to keep doing the right thing. At least he seems to be heading in the right direction and that is scarce for a Senator these days, mighty scarce.
He is not stupid. Add to that the sight of millions of Trump Patriots in DC on Jan. 6 and if he’s as smart as many have believed (including me), he will do the right thing.
Irredeemable? No, that sounds Clintonesque.
Hate to say it but the allegations about Ty Cobb have been discredited. A biographer (Al Stump) was much, much less than honest with the life story published after death.
Ty Cobb was the best, while Cruz has not been at that level.
Yes, the first thing I thought of, when I saw the reference!
The Lie about Ty Cobb was repeated in the script of Field of Dreams.
This is a lesson in how lies can persist for decades, and perhaps centuries,
e.g. “There was no fraud in the 2020 election.”
Cruz has signed a letter saying he will object to the fraudulent electors. He should have been the first, but he is now one of 12 senators who are standing up against the fraud.
I was in a Trump rally in Indiana the night Trump beat Cruz and I hated what Cruz did in the convention. But that is water under the bridge at this point. Cruz has come around and supported the President at every turn. I don’t expect him to do otherwise on Jan 6.
Cruz heads the SSCI, he’d be wise to muster enough courage to bring Missouri’s underperforming Blunt and the others on SSCI around to fall in line and support President Trump, the 90%+ pro Trump republican party and “we the people”. Currently Josh Hawley is eating Blunt’s breakfast, lunch AND dinner. M.A.G.A.
stay on it peeps, email, write, call your elected officials NOW.
Cruz isn’t even on that committee. Rubio is currently the head of the SSCi.
Ted Cruz is not to be relied on. PRAY FOR HIM.

Redemption is available to all. You must do it, though.
Kellyanne Conway was one of Cruz’s campaign chairs during the 2016 primaries until he withdrew……just sayin”.
Knew Kellyanne was a fraud as soon as her porky husband started criticizing Trump. She sure had diarrhea of the mouth!
Never, ever, never, never ever trust a Never-Trumper…..even if they appear to have seen the light!
“You knew I was a snake when you took me in”……dummy
There is hope for Cruz.
After all, look at all the stuff in Trump’s past that people were pointing to in 2016.
He seems to have worked out pretty well.
I was wrong about Mike Lee, I could be wrong about Cruz, but I like Cruz.
Again… I could be wrong for trusting him, I was wrong about Mike Lee and others. But as of today, I’m giving Ted the benefit of a doubt and I will be watching him
You are on notice Ted! I am watching you.
what makes you think Mike Lee is a “good guy”….he is the spearhead for INCREASING H1b visas to bring in MORE foreign workers for big tech at the expense of AMERICAN workers.
In my opinion, Ted Cruz lost all credibility FOREVER when he ran for president KNOWING he cannot possibly be Constitutionally eligible for that office; for the reason that he’s not a natural born citizen.
Regardless of what he says, anything he does is not for the benefit of President Trump, his Texas constituents, OR We the People of the USA! He does not care about ANYONE except Ted Cruz! Everything he has ever done in his adult life (and likely as a teen) has been for the purpose of putting him one step closer to the presidency. Therefore, anything he may do right since he first ran for president will ALWAYS be insufficient to restore whatever credibility he may have had!
I dare say, he is at this very moment planning to run for president AGAIN as soon the opportunity arises!
I was always one of The Donald’s supporters, since b4 2012 actually. I was never on team Cruz in 2016.
But, I DO admire Cruz for getting over his justified anger/bitterness at Trump for dragging his father into the election and effectively accusing Cruz’ dad of being involved in the plot to kill JFK.
I GET why Trump did that. I got it then… although I cringed a bit. Trump HAD to knock out 17 R competitors pretty fast. He did it with masterful precision, albeit a tad rough.
Still, I do believe Cruz and others have stood by/with The President and defended him at crucial times, certainly during the impeachment and the Russia Hoax. Cruz was one of those who stood by Trump.
Maybe I am naive but I need to be able to trust some of our congressmen/women & senators.
They can’t all be willing to see Western Civilization crash & burn… b/c that IS what will happen, and in short order, if the USA falls. All of Europe, Australia… will go down with us. Surely there are Patriots in our Govt other than just Trump and a few others.
I guess we’ll find out soon.
Cruz is probably also glad, in hindsight, that he didnt win in 2016.
The past 4 years have been mercilessly brutal for our President. I don’t know how DJT is still standing. It would have been very brutal for Cruz too.
It was going to take a tough hombre, like Trump, to take on this monolithic cabal of domestic and global dictator-wannabes who are hell-bent on conquering the world for themselves. Its possible a younger Donald wouldn’t have been able to do it either. It took the older and wiser and more cunning Donald to… save the Republic and the world.
Several times I have responded to crazed family & friends who call Trump the worst POTUS ever. I laugh and say… Nope. Historians, in the future, will rank Trump as the #2 or #3 BEST presidents ever… and he MAY even displace the great LINCOLN for 2nd place. No one can take 1st place from George Washington. Everyone looks at me as if I am a lunatic and says so too. ?
Kare508,
I agree with your assessment about future historians and President Donald Trump. They are going to look back at all he accomplished, and how much absolutely ferocious opposition he faced doing it, and are going to make him Lincoln’s equal at a minimum. I am praying he gets a second term, but I am thanking God he at least got a first one. As much as I love and respect the sainted Ronnie Reagan, I have to think that President Trump is his superior just because of how much he did for this country in the teeth of the most unfair and vicious opposition ever faced by any President.
Every time I am tempted to give up on this country, I remember the courage of men like Presidents Reagan and Trump. Our national fighting spirit didn’t die with the Greatest Generation!
IMHO Mitch has approved this and the ONLY reason they are doing this is because if successful it stalls/delays the decision because of the 10 day audit. But the most important thing is not having a decision they believe will prevent violence. All PDT supporters go home and wait for audit results which will be bogus because it isnt a forensic audit. Audit results return no issues, Biden wins and violence avoided.
Just a thought. Every Washington insider who was stroked by CNN during the last fours years, while they sat before God and everybody to tell us what an idiot Trump is, knew exactly what Trump did that night.
And they haven’t missed an opportunity to lie about what they really know ever since.
Remember this on January 6, 2021, and act accordingly.
Let me say this about Cruz:
If nothing else, Cruz is a fighter, like Trump. It would figure that Cruz would make a “last stand” and not surrender what were then his principles.
Since then, I think Cruz came to understand Trump. It’s not a question of dependence. I think Cruz has fully bought into Trump’s philosophy, and now I believe that Cruz is one of Trump’s most loyal lieutenants. You can count on him to champion the right issues and to fight for his principles. My candidate in 2024 is going to be our current President: President Trump. But after that, Cruz will get my consideration.
I’d say if he was loyal he would have been pounding the drum more than 4 days prior to the electoral college. I believe he’s competitive and calculating. Hawley going off the reservation and Tuberville threatening to forced Mitch’s hand. Mitch can’t allow an open split that shows who the controlled RINOs are, so he has this group throw in (maybe wittingly or unwittingly) and they’ll try to control this process like they always control everything to get the best outcome for the China wing of the republican party. Even if this failed, Hawley going down in flames by himself gives him credibility with the 80-100 million who voted for the Trump agenda.
My question is, did Mitch proactively assign Cruz to this tactic, or did Cruz go to him and tell him he had to get in on this so he can have some credibility in the future? I guess if there’s a divergence between Hawley and the other Senators it may become apparent.
Interesting.
I think Mitch went to Cruz once Hawley went public with his objection.
Mitch needed to play damage control and find a way to control the process. The electoral commission process is a way for them to protect the future voting process. They can work with Congress to select the 15 representatives that will provide the perception to the public that they conducted an “exhaustive” investigation and came up with nothing to change the outcome of the election. I hope I’m wrong but I think this is how they intend it to be played out.
Interesting angle.
perhaps that is why there are exactly 12.5% of the Senate who oppose the electors.
enough to make a mockery, but not a change in the status quo.
Sorry, it’s going to backfire, Mitch.
look out your window.
The Sargent of Arms better guard the cloakroom for ….
Cruz’s response this week could decide his fate as a potential President or Supreme Court Justice is he wants either. Trump saved Ted’s butt and slowed the advancement of turning Texas blue. Time to return the favor, Mr. Cruz, and go down in history as a true Patriot. Don’t make me regret helping you defeat Beto.
From a play (Macbeth) by Billy Shakespeare;
perhaps Macbeth is speaking of Sen. Cruz:
A fair and credible audit means the President gets to present evidence too. No “silo” as Barr likes to operate under to ignore crimes.
Sundance,
Why not post that video to your twitter feed and ask Ted Cruz if he’s playing politics or does he now have the BALLS to stand up for President Trump?
Just another swamp creature. Right Ted?
two things:
anyone holding any hope that congress will do the right thing, is deluded and will feel an emptiness that not even 2020 could deliver!
state legislators likewise will aggravate and dissapoint all who hold similar “hopes” these few patriots will act correctly.
there is a reason for this predictable failure: YOUR representatives are weak ON YOU and hold private (financial) self interests to see this all fail for a better outcome.
so of it is not so obvious: if you look coldly (as these soul-less merchants of deceit do), there are few advantages to gain if they get behind Trump and he wins. It’s the same situation for their political careers and ambitions and opportunities with a very likely fewer seats in the senate to show for it (looking at you georgia!)…and if trump fails, but they can put on a “show”, it provides political capitol they can depend on…(See, I fought the fight…all the way to the end…you need someone like me so things like this that come up AGAIN, will be met with a trusted adversary….see how this works?)
okay, so now that you KNOW what can’t be expected to happen…what does that leave YOU?
despair?
or
something else?
I encourage each of you to examine your life and decide sooner or later how much is too much and what YOU ARE PREPARED TO DO to assert your power.
it really boils down to this.
there is no one out there to save you…no white horses galloping to your rescue.
it’s YOUR COUNTRY.
start acting like it.
that is all.
God Bless America
There is NO trying and failing. The evidence of massive fraud is overwhelming. To conduct the audits will PROVE it by a reasonable doubt. They will then be… stuck knowingly, in front of the world, giving the presidency to the … loser of the election: harris/biden.
Beyond a reasonable doubt
Sadly, I believe that Senator will be true to his character and not support the President in the long run. His messaging is that he will not support the Electoral College vote unless an independent election commission examines the allegations of fraud and issues its analysis of the election. This allows him to have it both ways- he opposes fraud but his commission finds no fraud after examination. Once again, we the voters are given yet another false choice.
I just wrote Rick Scott and Marco Rubio and told them politely that they better support Ted Cruz and President Trump in Stopping The Steal!!!
“Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.”

The election commission ruse is their deceitful way to protect the status quo.
Status quo = Dominion systems and fixing future elections for the political ruling class, i.e. Uniparty.
IMHO
“Where is Rand?”
I have been asking that question for over two years! For all of the big talk about speaking truth to power and fighting back against the Democrats, not ONE single Senator would object to Cocaine Mitch keeping the Senate “in session” which prevented the President from making any recess appointments! And Rand Paul was one of the loudest voices against the status quo but he even never actually challenged Turtle McConnell!!
Agree mom. Rand usually leaves me scratching my head.
Rand and Lindsey are cut from the same mold.
All talk, no action!
Maybe it depends on how badly he wants to be a Supreme
I confess, being a contrarian and therefore by definition being mostly correct, that a little “toxic abrasiveness” is an admirable trait to me. I give you PDJT.
Cruz’s big problem is open-ish borders, utterly unacceptable if he wants a run at 2024.
Cruz will never be President. Pence 2024.
PDJT will decide who won’t be President in 2024. A Trump Party candidate will easily take enough votes to destroy any Republican candidate.
The Patriot Party headed by Trump. I’d jump at the chance to leave this corrupt and venal GOP!
I wouldn’t mind seeing Don Jr run someday. The kid has cannonballs.
IMO, the son is not the father. Trump built it. Trump is the visionary. He was seasoned and scarred by life’s challenges in a way the son has not been. Jr would need to do a lot to be capable of surviving the Presidency. I am also not into … legacies and dynasties: Bushes, Clintons, Trumps.
There are bad rumours swirling around on Twitter about Pence’s perfidy
And who can forget the Pence-Ryan emails?
https://themarshallreport.wordpress.com/2020/12/26/why-was-there-a-pence-ryan-for-president-website-in-oct-2016-who-is-loyal-to-the-president/
OMG I read those back when. Appalling.
Pence caved like a cheap suit when he was IN Gov, refusing to sign a Religious Freedom bill, duly passed by his legislature.
He got threatened by the usual leftist bullies, Angie’s List, Salesforce, ad nauseum, marshaled by the militant buttboinkers so they could sue and harass Christian cake Akers and florists. So did Asa Hutchinson in AR.
Pence is a big coward.
Something is just not right with Pence. With President Trump I can believe he would keep his enemies closer and he has a superb political instinct.
I remember Karen Pence received an envelope at Poppy Bush’s funeral with the other globalist degenerates and thought it odd. The other day I’ve been seeing reports saying that Pence is a clone and he was taken out with the Pence/Ryan July 4 assassination attempt on President Trump. Diane Marshall references the Pence/Ryan presidential run and the clone.
Then there is Chris Miller’s remarks at the Anniversary of Space Force. I thought them interesting because of the reference to a military operation but found Miller’s body language odd because he really didn’t look at Pence while saying his thanks.
Finally there is Lin Wood’s tweet that Pence stated on New Year’s Eve that he is leaving politics. Something is going on and I am looking forward to seeing the reveal.
https://twitter.com/TrulyTrulyJen/status/1345036778323939328?s=20
What reports are you seeing that mention cloning? I’m not sure that can be considered a ‘report’
Lin’s a plant, life long Democrat and donor, claiming Pence can be arrested and shot. He’s not stupid so he’s corrupt and attempting to make the Trump case a laughingstock.
No clue what Lin’s game is except that he’s definitely playing one.
… love the part about Pence being a clone and the real Pence was assassinated. “They” sure r making clones very realistic these days. ?
Pence? No way, no how.
Neither will Pence.
Pence will never be president either. Donald Trump is the last Republican president. The only question is whether it’s thru 2020 or 2024.
Whoa. Pence is a career politician who has done nothing of note, had a radio show no one listened to after one of his failures and is now ditching the most extraordinary chance in history to be a hero. He is a Bush coward, perhaps worse, and a fake Christian. We have seen one good moment from him, the debate he didn’t blow, but other than that he is an Invisible RINO on course to become a Benedict Arnold.
Unless Pence goes against his lifetime of cowardice and helping the Leftwing mobs instead of standing up to them and saving the entire country he will end his career in 4 days.
Pence is leader of the WarpSpeed team, for review see > “WuFlu@WarpSpeed”
That is no accomplishment in my book. No one I know will take the vax ever and neither will I.
Yup, Pence, fauxi, brix. Plus pfizer which claimed to not be part of the ‘team’.
Pence could have fired fauxi, as soon as it became known he was a liar, or at least diluted him by adding others and giving fauxi no podium time. Pence could have pointed out that fauxi supported cuomo, who opposed early china flight shutdown, and who killed many seniors.
What a team !!!!
Pence could have done a lot of things to get the tiger by the tail on the COVID Task Force and did not. Either he sits back and lets everyone else run roughshod over him or he was complicit in the virus mismanagement from beginning to end. He literally has done nothing of note in the past 4 years to warrant a promotion.
I READ the memo, suggesting Pence could decide which electors votes to count, and was not impressed.
It was “taking a shot”, but for a variety of reasons, I did not think it was a viable option, and still don’t.
Therefor, Pence not taking the option, IMHO, does not qualify as cowardice.
Its common sense.
On Cruz, these are ALL Career politicians, not “white hats” or “black hats”; they do what is politically expediante.
Hawley made his intention to object, at least in part, because of a Political calculation.
80-100 million votes, potentially, by stating he would make a motion, vs crossing “the most feared man in D.C.” Mitch.
Cruz is also making political calculations, as is Mitch. And so is the only non-career politician, PDJT.
Again, my opinion. This latest scheme to remove PDJT is falling apart, just like the last two did.
The Insurance policy was to get a Special council appointed (doesn’t matter WHY) and then get PDJT to fire them, so Senate Republicons could justify saying they would vote to impeach, so he would resign.
That fell apart, when they realised NOTHING, even indicting Don Jr., would get PDJT to fire them.
At that point, they needed to “wind it down”, as best they could, and Barr did.
The Impeachment was “good to go”, and McConnell is on camera, saying his line, that he had been rehearsing for two years “No one is above the law, not even the POTUS”,..and then PDJT released the transcript, and McConnell knew it wasn’t going to work.
So, they played it out, knowing full well the outcome.
And then theresthe Steal.
It was a hail mary, desperation move because NO candidate the Dems put up, could POSSIBLY beat Trump.
So, throw the hail mary, and try to steal it.
They so fear a second PDJT term, they felt they had nothing to lose.
It included promoting the false narrative that Biden won, blocking any narrative of the theft, as well as the Steal itself.
Didn’t work. PDJT’s team had PLENTY of time to gather the evidence, and get it out to,….US.
And our rally in D.C. on the 6th, is to reinforce that, as are our emails to Senators, Reps at Fed and State level.
McConnell doesn’t want a roll call, this fix avoids that. The report WILL find clear evidence, and will be made Public.
The State legislatures will have justification to meet in Special Session, even if Govenors don’t call them.
If enough legislatures rescind there certifications, McConnell avoids the roll call.
I think this COULD be Mitch conceding, and “taking his losses” cleaning things up, much like when he told Barr to wind down the Mueller investigation.
Not for sure, just a guess as good as anyone elses.
Have to keep pressure on those State Legislatures, do NOT let up.
The commission can NOT “not find credible evidence of ballot fraud, sufficient to overturn”, I believe THAT ship has sailed,…this is also a way to begin walking back the msm audience, first by “clueing them in” that Congress isn’t certifying, then with the release of the commission report, 10 days later.
This MAY be what PDJT planned, all along. Force McConnell to accept failure, and let him figure out a way out of the mess HE created.
Looking forward to his rally, on the 5th. Given his recent tweets about the runoff, his comments SHOULD be interesting.
Its Politics, Jake. ..its politics.
And PDJT is the greatest NATURAL Politician we have ever seen.
As always… Excellent, Dutchman.
Yes, it is.
Dutchman said:

If you plan on watching/attending his rally on the 5th, I am afraid you will be sorely disappointed. There is none on the 5th. Better to be available for his rally the night before on the 4th, in Dalton, GA I believe?
I disagree. I think that Pence is a Christian, and understands the importance of loyalty to a country, God and to his President. I think that he will announce his retirement immediately after putting Trump back in Office and that Trump will pick Josh Hawley as the next VP.
I understand that Pence is weak. I just don’t think he wants to be in office anymore. But he will not go out screwing 80 million voters that voted for him and siding with pure evil. To do so would be to not only end his political career but to be labled as the Vice President that threw us into Communism.
My only reason? During tough moments, small people come up big for the country. That is what happened during the signing of the Dec of Independence when Wilson came out of nowhere to be the last signer. Just praying that what I just told you all would happen.
I’m with you. Whatever else, he is a solid Christian and could not bow to evil as though it were the right thing to do.
There is a huge difference between “During tough moments small people come up big for the country” and “would end his political career but to be labeled as the Vice President that threw us into Communism”.
“But he will not go out screwing 80 million voters that voted for him and siding with pure evil.”
I wouldn’t be too sure of that…
We need men like our Founders:
“Our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor” . . .
…”he will end his career in 4 days” WHAT A CLASSIC AND TRUE STATEMENT.
Nice job Halo Sandy.
Pence is a wooden soldier not a real life fighter. Time for a woman to be president? I have one for you – Sidney Powell.
I prefer Sidney as the first Chairwoman, of the America First party, myself.

Party Council, Rudy
Pence will NEVER be president. And I’ve met him; he’s a nice enough guy. He does NOT have what the presidency now requires (cojones of titanium).
Pray for him anyway because he happens to be the one in the position to make a difference. Pray for him to make the right decision as he is the one that can save this Republic. He is who we have at present, let’s support and pray for him until we have reason not to. Personaly, I can think of a lot more people I would not want to be President, including Biden as opposed to Pence.
That is how I have always felt about VP Pence, we need another bull.
cruz will always be a force in presidential elections. he has a big following, because like most big texas men, he wades right into the chaos and creates openings. He’s as poltiically astute as they come.
He can bend an election with fewer words than a haiku. He has that going for him.
I would never bet against Cruz’ ability to guide an election outcome….some might even say, spoiler is a very powerful position to assume.
I’ve read some of Cruz’ oral arguments before SCOTUS. The guy is always prepared and has a talent that cannot be denied. His knack for delivering in the moment is unquestionably his main asset.
I have a few reservations about his views about a Trump re-election however, as as Sundance points out, it has the appearance of a campaign to control the senate and tighten controls about what voices will be significant during the debates.
I am asking my own state representatives why they are backing or not backing this latest development to try and get a clear view on what is actually going on.
it definitely smacks of a mcconnell led strategy to rope in as many power brokers to his side and to diminish the power of people like Hawley and other who stepped up much earlier.
a quite the swamp. I’m not expecting anything other than failure from congress about this election fraud and irregularities. I mean, why would they act to defend the constitution or rule or law now? they spent all summer long ignoring it.
They benefit from corruption. No one can avoid seeing it now. That’s why the republican party is dead.
If Cruz can bend an election why did he need President Trump to rescue him in the last one?
PDJT saved his rear in 2018. We know it but I dont Teddy appreciates it.
good point. some people (like mcconnell) weild more power by developing it for others than actually running a self realized success package. maybe not a great example…but if its about building a coalition, I see some similarities in both of these two…opportunists…astute political actors.
I mean..how was it that trump was worked into “rescuing” cruz…imagine that.
I don’t want to describe cruz as a good guy..he’s very ambitious and shows alot of potential …and I tend to appreciate that in a person. I mean at some point in life, one has to choose sides. flaws and all.
exhibit a: trump! I took me some time to get over my prior experience with this guy….enigma in every way…but then, so too are every single important person who changed history in the United States..and world for that matter. to win, you have to be capable of doing more than your opponent….the warts are the feature, not the bug.
I’m still on the fence with cruz though….he may end up being the useful genius…to save his own political hide and further his potential for a run at the presidency or some higher position of influence, I can’t imagine him or anyone else honestly believing any of that can happen with a world that does not include trump…
jmho
“He’s as poltiically astute as they come.”
Were that true, Cruz would not have turned off so many of his colleagues over the years. IMHO, being politically astute also means understanding how ones coworkers (Senators and their aides) think and feel and using that knowledge to at least maintain a broad array of amicable working relationships. I don’t see that in Cruz. He’s kind of….“it’s about me.”
There is only one way Pence can even sniff the Presidency. And we all know what he has to do for even a glimmer of a chance at that..
Whatever happens Pence ought to go home and enjoy his grand kids after this one..
Pence is a good Number 2. Would not vote for him as POTUS.
Would depend on the choices. Pence ain’t Trump but he is better than any democrat. I don’t think Pence is the problem as much as Mark Short being his primary advisor. Let’s hope Pence thinks for himself.
Pence will be shown to be a Traitor to Trump and America.
My choice would be DeSantis or Noem 2024 if P Trump isn’t running. If VP Pence suddenly becomes a strong advocate for election integrity and a special investigation into election fraud like Cruz et al suggested, he would certainly gain some support.
Not interested in 2024. I don’t see a 2024 for a free constitutional America.
We call The USA the “great American experiment” for a reason… b/c it is.
Our form of govt/freedom is the fluke. Dictatorship is the norm– the predominant form of governance throughout all of human history… is dictatorship.
I doubt, seriously, if Pence has what it takes to stand alone for our country. As long as he has coat tails to hold on to, he’ll stand proudly.
His BIGGEST problem is constitutional eligibility (he isn’t)….I would like someone to issue a judicial challenge for “Senator” Cruz to prove his US citizenship…..Mpmma and daddy were Canadian citizens at the time of his birth in CANADA…..what legal premise does he present that he is in fact a US citizen and not a Canadian citizen?
No problem I believe.
“Ted Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, on December 22, 1970, to Eleanor Darragh, who was born in Delaware,
Someone is considered an American citizen if they meet one of three qualifications: They are born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents’ citizenship; they are born outside the U.S. to at least one American parent; they go through the naturalization process and are granted U.S. citizenship.”
His his mother was a natural born American.
Sorry, your definition is NOT the definition. Please, please read everything here:
https://www.usnaturalborncitizen.com/index.html
For deeper and more exact understanding click on links of examples of real candidates qualifying. The sources used have been vetted thoroughly.
Pre-early 2000’s every child learned this in fourth grade and again in high school gov class. One of the most successful propaganda psyops perpetrated on a citizenry has been the redefining of of natural born citizen even to the point of masses, even legal and constitutional scholars, believing the myth that the Supreme Court has never defined nbc.
Justiagate. Learn about it.
Voter records/rolls show Cruz’s mother voting in Canada which gives creditability to the suggestion they became Canadian citizens before Ted born. Whether they did or not is moot point because nbc is child born on US soil of citizen parentS. Cruz lacks the “s” in parentS requirement and being born in country. Maybe no parent citizens at time of birth even.
Bravo! I’m glad to see another beating the natural born citizen drum!
Thanks for the link!

FTA:
The parents of Ted Cruz chose and declared “Canadian Citizenship” for Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz as that is how he had a Canadian Birth Certificate and no US birth certificate. According to Canadian law, Ted Cruz is a Natural Born Canadian Citizen.Cruz birth certificate
As far as US law at the time of his birth is concerned, Ted Cruz falls under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. Section 1431 does not apply to Ted Cruz because he does not have a CRBA or Certificate of Birth Abroad filed with the State Dept. or any Immigration authority or the Attorney General. Even if 1431 is the law to go by, that law makes him a naturalized citizen by an act of Congress, not a natural born citizen as stated in 1431 and naturalized citizens are not eligible to be president.
Section 1433 that pertains to Cruz is linked below and made available on this document, from the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. This same law is still in effect today.
https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title8/chapter12/subchapter3&edition=prelim
Had they chose US citizenship for their child, soon after the birth they would have had to report it to the nearest US Embassy or contact the US State Dept. or and upon acceptance by the US State Dept. they would have received a form-FS-240 or DS-2029, also called a CRBA or Certificate of Birth Abroad, of which he does not have.
Birth of U.S. Citizens Abroad:
A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth if certain statutory requirements are met. The child’s parents should contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) to document that the child is a U.S. citizen. If the U.S. embassy or consulate determines that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, a consular officer will approve the CRBA application and the Department of State will issue a CRBA, also called a Form FS-240, in the child’s name. Click below to read the law as it was when Cruz was born and as it still is today. The law has never changed and nowhere do I see that it says this law pertains to everyone except Ted Cruz.

A child born off US soil is not a NBC. He is considered native born. Not eligible for Pres. Or VP. Jus Solis Jus sanguinous Soil and blood.
But he’s not a “natural born citizen”. I can refer you to Charles Kerchners site for a good explanation, although there are others. Cruz didn’t even renounce his Canadian citizenship u til 2014, I believe. He’s not eligible, and he knows it.
https://www.kerchner.com/protectourliberty/protectourliberty.htm
His mother gave up her citizenship to become a Canadian. He is not a natural born citizen which is the requirement for President. He can be a senator but not President. Why did he seal his birth records? That smells like Obama to me. He is a deceiver.
I can’t edit my comment but want to remove the statement that he can be a senator as I forgot he was declared a Canadian citizen at birth.
That is not what a natural born citizen is. There are three types. NBC is born on US soil of parents who are citizens. Jus Solis, jus sanguinous Native born who are born on US soil but whose parents are not citizens—anchor babies. Naturalized who are made citizens of the US when they immigrate here. Only the first category, NBC, is eligible for Pres. And VP. That is why Cruz and Harris do not meet the Constitutional requirements to run.
He angers me. The only thing we have to protect us against Obama’s is the fact a president can’t have dual loyalties, has to be a natural born American citizen. Yet Cruz wants to set the precedent any international carpet bagger can come here and control our military and entire branch of government. Levin beclowned himself trying to fool us with pretzel logic that that is constitutional. It is not. Cruz can do anything but Pres or VP, so if he’d rule constitutionally I’d love to recall Roberts for him or have him as AG.
But you are right, sorry, he is not eligible.
int’l carpetbagger?
come on, man!
Agree, but where is the coordinated effort to disqualify Kamala Harris as VP, Nothing but crickets. If Biden does get the electoral vote the other issue that Congress can challenge is her quals for VP, which she does not qualify for. Again, the silence is deafning even though everyone knows Biden, if elected, will not serve an entire term. There needs to be an insurance policy that she can never be VP or President. Congress is a bunch of cowards not willing to fight for the Constitution against the left’s social justice.
Harris and Cruz will never be challenged because they let Obama slide on the nbc requirement. You challenge them and his presidency goes out the window. SC will never do it. They could have in 2007-08. The ran from it. So who do you think will do it now to either of the above ineligible candidates, one who just won, not really, a fraudulent election for VP?
Congress is made up of bought and paid for Chinese puppets.
Harris and Cruz will not be allowed to be challenged. The programming of conservatives to want nothing to do with being identified as a birther runs deep in the psyche.
The Deep State Operating government will only present unqualified darlings for candidates. If another non-nbc gets in, America’s constitution is gone. Nbc qualification is the cornerstone of the entire Constitution.
Very few conservative sites will pick up the banner they let fall to the ground and fight to charge to claim back the definition and loudly declare Obama not nbc. It is still mostly a taboo subject. If we do not, his presidency will be precedent and a second nbc will cement it. This is the workaround an amendment for the constitutional change.
Exactly… The brazeness and obvious lust for the office that drove Cruz to run, angered me as well.
Of all people, he, Mr. “Constitutional Scholar” Cruz, KNEW that he lacked eligibility, AND HE RAN ANYWAY.
His obvious lack of integrity was appalling.
Because of Obama. He knew that no one would challenge him because of the consequences to Obama’s presidency. Basically he dared them, anyone, to challenge it and of course they didn’t.
Cruz and Trump were not that at odds in 2016 until Trump questioned Cruz’s eligibility. I think Trump did it because he wanted it adjudicated so he could ask Cruz to be VP. But instead of arguing his eligibility Cruz went bananas. I think Cruz’s college records are sealed for the same reason Obama’s are. Both went to school,as foreign students. Obama as Indonesian, Cruz as Canadian. That is why both go bonkers when eligibility or citizenship is brought up
No way under the sun would President Trump want nbc requirement for president adjudicated. Nice try.
Why must we have 1st generation immigrants put over those of us who go back to colonial times? I don’t doubt Cruz has his heart in generally the right place, but the absolute arrogance to think an immigrant can lead a native? He needs help.
Cruz pushed for the North American Union. He is a deceiver.
https://themarshallreport.wordpress.com/2016/01/17/cruz-the-king-of-gaslighting-and-north-american-union-if-not-him-cfr-will-find-another/
first I’ve heard cruz’s records are sealed. He Unlike obama, cruz was/is an accomplished scholar who must have excellent ‘records’ because he was admitted, and accomplished, without “affirmative action”
So there must be some other reason, as you suggest, for record sealing.
Cruz sealed his birth records.
The Lee Harvey Oswald nonsense about Cruz’ father is what set Cruz off.
That ship sailed with Obama.
Cruz pushed for the North American Union. Heidi, his wife, is on the CFR. He is a swamp creature. He is also ineligible. Born in Canada to a Cuban father and a mother who gave up her American citizenship to become a Canadian citizen. She voted in Canada. Here is an article that outlines the details.
