The age old axiom: ‘Never Trust a Never Trumper‘ hits the mark once again.
Senator Ted Cruz: “President Trump’s rhetoric, I think, went way too far over the line. I think it was both reckless and irresponsible because he said repeatedly—and he said over and over again—he won by a landslide; there was massive fraud; it was all stolen everywhere. That evidence, the campaign did not prove that in any court, and to make a determination about an election it has to be based on the evidence, and so simply saying the result you want, that’s not responsible and you’ve never heard me use language like that. What I’ve said is voter fraud is real, and we need to examine the evidence, and look at the actual facts; and in particular, what is the evidence of how much voter fraud occurred, and did it occur in sufficient quantities and in sufficient states to alter the outcome of the election. That would have been the mandate of the election commission; to assess.” (read more – with video)
Trump did not say anything more than dozens of Democrats including Hillary Clinton said after the 2016 election. It was OK for them to say it and keep on saying it for 3 1/2 years. But not OK for Trump to basically say the same … and with a lot more evidence on his side.
That is such a great point you make.
I was a Ted Cruz guy in 2016. And up to a few days ago, actually.
No more.
Wondered why Cruz objected to only 1 state on Jan 6th. Now it is known with precision. Cruz is GOPe all the way and now has bona fides for the decepticon club doing McConnell and the US CoC bidding. Any dreams of his getting anywhere near the presidency in 2024 have gone down in flames as they should.
POTUS Trump was right about Cruz in 2016.
Listen to his podcast and he tells it to you. Then you can stop guessing. Arizona was the first swing state with known election irregularities to be on the agenda of the Congress. The rules require one House representative and one Senator to object in order to trigger deliberation process. He had the support needed to start the process with Arizona. The plan was to object the states with known irregularities coming up later in the agenda too.
However, some false flaggers plus idiots plus some good people just following the crowd breached the Capitol building. This got a lot of people scared and unwilling to follow the plan. Cruz no longer had the support he needed to follow the strategy. Legally speaking, he could vote against approving the list of electors, but he could not object and trigger the deliberation alone.
Clinton had no evidence whatsoever except made up garbage that was left out to stink up the country for years
Trump has overwhelmingly evidence concerning the election.
And not only to “keep on saying it”, but to blow it up into an FBI investigation and then a Special Council investigation into President Trump’s supposed COLLUSION with the Russians to steal it from “Her Turn Hillary”.
They profited off it, wrote books, went on shows.
I think they tried it when he was running against Hitlery only they never thought he would get so many votes. They were so sure she was going to win they had their acceptance party all ready to go. They have been cheating for a long time. Just not to this extent
TX needs a new R senator.
Boycott Cruz.
Let’s replace the other one first.
Absolutey: That Idiot #Cornyn is by far the worse. He is about as Much #Texan as he is #American.. #Not.
I’m a Texan. Could not agree more.
Ted is up for reelection in 2024. Cornyn in 2026. Ted has pledged to term limit himself to two terms. I hope that he sticks to that pledge and that we can find a true Constitutional Conservative that puts America first to replace him.
Soros has a half dozen “conservatives” in training as I type.
Yes! Cornyn is McCain in a cowboy hat! He comes home every few years to act conservative long enough to fool enough of us to get re-elected!
Is this the same Ted Cruz that offered to argue the Pennsylvania election case before the Supreme Court “without evidence”? We all knew he was a fraud and Never Trumper after his speech at the 2016 Republican Convention. This seals the deal!
Excellent point GiveMeLiberty!
Methinks that be the same one but me could be wrong ’cause me not smart like them there weasels.
He probably had a “Come to Jesus” meeting with his benefactors and is trying to save face. I don’t think he ever thought an impeachment would occur. Just another fork-tongued politician.
The US needs a national campaign to get rid of electronic voting and mail in voting that can be compromised.
It should go with a national paper ballot in-person vote like Canada’s federal election. There the vote count can’t be rigged and elections are a huge boost to the economy, creating so many jobs.
That would be a big help but not going to happen because the States are in change.
I agree paper ballots paper ballots, no mail in except absentee, no ballot harvesting and voters ID
HOWEVER, since the Democrats own all 3 branches of our government, you all are spitting into the wind.
Sorry excuse for legislators are Sen. Cruz. and Sen. Cornyn. Never built anything. They are grifters and posers.
Cross yet another would-be-conservative OFF MY LIST.
I had hopes for Ted – long gone now…
I will say this much for Cruz. The pressure is immense in the Senate. The Democrats have to flip 17 Republicans in the trail. They already have 5. Cruz and Hawley are being told they are going to be thrown out of the Senate with just a majority vote. The rest of the Republicans are being told that any senator that votes to acquit Trump will also be thrown out. Remember what happen on Jan 6th was staged. The Democrats wanted a riot and they got one. They had weeks to plan it. All Pres. Trump wanted was something like a March for Life or a civil rights march.
Even if that is the case, now is the time to stand for the truth.
Can they be thrown out with just a simple majority?
No it takes 2/3. See Constitution Art I.
ah, but they are insurrectionist, SCOTUS could take months to rule.
The people voted for these Representatives. How can the Dems just kick them out of office? If so why are some of those corrupt Dems still in office.
While I don’t disagree with everything Cruz said (PDJT could’ve been more articulate as to the fraud that occured), he showed yet again that he’s a self serving politician who plays to the base only to further his own cause.
Cruz has zero chance of becoming the GOP nominee for President. The sooner he realizes that the better.
During the 2016 primary someone here, I think it was Sundance, hit the nail on the head with Cruz. He is so utterly AMBITIOUS that he will do anything, say anything, and align with anyone to try to get ahead.
Remember, it was Glen Beck and teddy bears at the border, chummy with the Bushes, Carly what’s-her-name as his VP candidate, Super PAC money to his pack from McConnell, those cringy commercials where he used his kids, what ever it takes.
No redeeming values what so ever. If he got one he would lose it the next day.
jmbuck, I think that is what we call a “politician”…
Cruz doesn’t even acknowledge the Mail in Balloting scams. See Abrams and P.C. in GA. I am sick of POS Lawyers that includes Cruz.
Does anybody really think that this has anything to do with President Trump. We the people are angry because The Far Left is ruining this country. and the damage will be permanent.
I actually donated t o this guy many times. No more. Not being fooled again.
Ted Cruz is the epitome of the foolish republican. He said horrific things about the President and his supporters then he tried to walk it back by pretending to make a distinction between the “terrorists” and President Trumps 75+ million voters.
He completely ignored the fact that has been stated so many times – NONE of the 80+ cases challenging the election were thrown out on their merits. NOT ONE. No judge looked at the MERITs of ANY of the cases. NOT A SINGLE ONE. NONE. As the constitutional scholar he presents himself to be THAT should bother him. But no lets just blame the President’s “rhetoric”.
In typical foolish republican fashion he claims to have been “pleased” to hear the minion of hell who before taking up occupancy of the White House talked about “unity”. For all his savvy, Senator Cruz could not/ did not recognize a lie from the pit of hell when heard it. He heard it then was surprised, shocked, at the ACTIONS that followed. A man who proudly proclaims his Christian beliefs did not see or hear the demonic words spoken to him.
Like all foolish republicans who did precious little to support President Trump’s America first agenda. They blew four years when they could have actually DONE something for the country. Now we are supposed to forget their perfidy and help them “fight bad policy”? Oh and yes, they are going to win hearts and minds. You had your chance and you did NOTHING Mr. Cruz. Why should I trust you now or ever?
To top it all off he goes on about the demonrats and overreach. The demonrats are not going to “overreach”. They are going to give the country EXACTLY what they promised. And what’s more, despite the fact that they stole the presidency, millions of Americans VOTED for what they are about to do to the rest of us.
No, they are not the majority, and no, they do not have a mandate, but they are sure as heck ready to do as they promised. Unlike repugnicans who do not know who to stand up for ANYTHING. Least of all the millions of people who voted for THEM.
We need to face the truth. The Republic was lost. Can we ever get it back again? History says no. No one has ever taken their Republic back from the totalitarians or the barbarians, whichever overwhelmed it to extinction.
Piss off, Ted.
It pains me to say this, but there will be many more like Ted because with their own eyes, they witnessed Trump folding up his tent and retreating. He had everything in place with Sydney and Flynn, but chose to follow Rudy in surrender. So in this moment, I agree with where Trump is focusing – clean up voting, primary RINO’s. Until those 2 things occur, I will not vote or donate to anyone. I would join a 3rd party in a nanosecond just to burn down the Republican Party. I may do that even if Trump doesn’t join it. It’s why we sent Trump in the first place.
The pressure should have been at the Rebub. State legleslatures to investigate and properly audit the votes…it took too long and poorly done. Yes Rudy has been ineffective and the media neutralizes him. Trump bounced the Ms. Lindsey recommended lawyers and strategy for his impeachment defence…so don’t give up so quickly, he has a new team. Let’s see next week play out. Let the Dems martyr Trump, it will just make him stronger.
the whole mess in d.c. needs to be ‘burnt to the ground ‘ … with what passes as .leaders in this nation it will never happen … thank “GOD” … “HE’S” not going to wait … mankind is in for a serious ‘ butt wooping’ and there is nothing that this nation can do to stop it ……..
Lying Ted.
I’m a Texan.
Cruz is my senator.
Disgusting.
I am in Texas.
Yesterday, my phone lite up from the Texas GOP; begging for support. When I texted “Stop”, I got back a survey. The GOP must be feeling the heat.
I was in the local Harley Davidson store waiting on a bike service, I was hanging out in the HOG lounge. There was a table of about 12 seasoned gents; all true blue HOG members. They were discussing politics and it was 1000% in support of MAGA and DJ Trump !
Never trust a man who responds to adversity by growing a beard…
Another re-elected Senator that only won because Trump had to go to Texas to save his seat in the Senate.
Let’s see, Trump saved the seats of Cruz, McConnell, Ernst, Graham, to name a few.
Then they are silent about the Democrat Machine running the vote in Georgia. Who do they turn to for getting the (R) Senators re-elected? President Donald J. Trump! And then claim it was President Trumps that doomed GA.
President Trump rolls over too easily for all these Republican pukes. Trump also doesn’t seem to know how to say “You’re fired!”.
He’s not in real life the man we saw on “The Apprentice”. He’s just NOT. The man has feet of clay. He’s the best President we ever had, but that doesn’t make him ‘perfect’.
Detaching himself from President Trump? Maybe his Democrat wife has decided it would be a good idea for him to run for president again in 2024 after all?
I don’t recall that President Trump was ever allowed to present evidence. Never got that far. Yet isn’t probable cause a pretty low bar?
Yep. Ted is out.
See WHY I don’t trust the foreigner? He’s STILL and FOREVERMORE will be ineligible for the presidency!
While not an attorney, my understanding is that no “court” really heard any real evidence, but dismissed cases on “standing”. That said, nothing really went to court, and any “investigation” was done by the same state groups that likely committed fraud. For over 1000 individuals to come forward with cases of fraud–at the risk of losing jobs and charged with fraud if lying–tells any clear thinking person that massive fraud took place. There has been no thorough, third party investigations into anything. Heck, 30% of democrats feel something was amiss in all this.
Ted Cruz is just trying to save his own sorry but t. Evidently he thinks the Senate is about to expel him. Cruz is not a principled conservative. He is self-serving and power hungry all the way.
“The campaign did not prove that in any court”.
We all know why that is true, and so does Ted.
He thinks we are stupid just because he’s smarter than his peers.
For the dozens of cases filed, every one was trhrown out on ‘lack of standing’ or some other technicality.
The judges in the civil courts simply did not want to review any of the voluminous evidence of election fraud.
But the military courts are doing just that.
Dear Ted
When President Trump is right, he is right. And there was massive fraud and if you do not get a grip on that fact, you can say goodby to the House and the Senate
Wonder what an impeachment vote is going for these days.$$$$$?
I tried very hard to love Ted. I think we all did. Then he pulled that silly stunt with Kasich and Carly. Then he pulled that silly stunt at the convention. We assumed he needed more time to mature..
But I give up. All I see here is naked political ambition.
Trump may need a successor in 2024. He may not want to run again. He may not win the nomination if he does? Who knows? It’s a long time.. But one thing is for sure, Ted won’t be that guy.
Ted didn’t want to do the election audit until Mitch already knew about the Capital January 6 riot in advance. Ted knew nothing would happen. Now he thinks he is a shoe-in for the presidency. Ha!
“That evidence, the campaign did not prove that in any court, and to make a determination about an election it has to be based on the evidence..”
“What I’ve said is voter fraud is real, and we need to examine the evidence, and look at the actual facts; and in particular, what is the evidence of how much voter fraud occurred, and did it occur in sufficient quantities and in sufficient states to alter the outcome of the election.”
Uh, so when does that examination begin? Maybe it should have begun instantly after the very late, but still incredible forensic results on the 16 Michigan Dominion voting machines with the impounding and analysis of Dominion machines nationwide.
But, of course, voting machines are secure regardless of the massive evidence they aren’t coming even from leftist sources like PBS, NBC, etc., ever since they were first used many years ago:
Cyber Experts Warn Of Vulnerabilities Facing 2020 Election Machines
September 4, 2019
https://www.npr.org/2019/09/04/755066523/cyber-experts-warn-of-vulnerabilities-facing-2020-election-machines
Truth is, your vote doesn’t mean crap anyway, so they will commit whatever level of fraud is needed to obtain their desired results which is the phony “voter mandate” to do whatever they want.
That’s what Brad Pascale said they wanted to have in place AHEAD of the election to fight the illegal processes unfolding in court AHEAD of the election. Jared Kushner, who he talked to every day, said POTUS wanted to go in a different direction, and called off the Plan in September. Why???
However, POTUS team also includes military units that are specialists in cybercrime and voting fraud. Large numbers of people devoted to this.
One of those teams is knows as the KRAKENS. We haven’t seen ANY of their evidence so far. Those are the SUPER. HEROES with the BIG GUN systems that are the BEST in the WORLD preventing and capturing voter fraud. Our military helps countries hold honest votes ALL OVER THE WORLD.
The reality is the repubs are not entirely disappointed Trump lost as it allows the old familiar gravy train to be restored. Some of the freedom caucus are going to go along in order to survive the first amendment purge that is threatening those on the right who refuse to acknowledge Bidens vote counts
President Trump called him liar , he knows what the man is made of ,
So do we.
People saw the numbers change ON LIVE TV.
People saw the numbers change overnight dramatically for BIDEN.
The Fraud was SHOCKINGLY obvious.
What is he doing????????
The courts never heard the mountains of EVIDENCE!
And also these rat bastard back stabber keep asking for donations.
I never get tired of saying
“Eat feces and terminate”
Just saying.
Those 3 Supreme Court picks were the picks of Mitch McConnell, Trump’s major saboteur.
Why doesn’t Cruz condemn traitor Pence and whoever else recommended the January 6 rally to President Trump.
They knew about the RAT & FBI planned Terrorist attack on the Capitol.
Cruz is afraid that if he says the wrong thing he will be expelled from the senate. Yep, a coward he is.
They keep saying voter fraud is not true. All we are asking for is the machines used in key states be independently audited. That will prove or disprove any voter fraud. We will never know if the machines are not audited.
So, what was Ted going to defend before the Supreme Court?
Ted’s back to telling Trump rally attendees they deserved to get mauled by illegals for choosing wrong candidate because of our degenerate morality.
