'Lyin Ted' could lose?

[enhanced_deficit]

He hasn't been Lyin Ted since the inauguration. Now its Lion Ted MAGA.

You have branding talent

Hope you won't argue that SWAMP hasn't been SWAMP since inauguration and has become SWAG.

'Lion Ted' had called MAGA a 'sniveling coward' and still hasn't apologized and not taken back those words. That is okay?

How do you know he hasn't apologized? He doesn't have to publicly just to fuel your drama fix. Trump and Cruz have obviously moved on.

[Bern]

Trump disparaged Cruz's wife publicly. In bygone eras, that would be grounds for a duel.



Trump also slandered Cruz's father with assertions that he helped murder JFK.

What is the most Texan Tough response to such affrontery? Not this...

Have to concede I do not know that.
Just like I do not know if privately Clintons and MAGA have also apologized to each other and became friends again.

...

Will take your word for it. But generally speaking just because he was accused by media disparaging does not mean he actually did that. He can use rough langauge against men now and then but he's more of a gentleman when it coms to ladies.

Ted Cruz finally comes out as neo-conservative on foreign policy

In series of Tweets this afternoon, it appears that Sen. Cruz has decided to clear away any doubts and announce that he follows the neo-conservative foreign policy model. Probably due to pressure to take sides with this Syria thing going down. Or maybe Krauthammer or Kristol got his Twitter password and took over...

Anyway, a little disappointing, but not a huge surprise.



Update: Apparently these were from a speech today on foreign policy.

These are the tweets I saw with a quick glance. They seemed to conform to PNAC standards.



Cold war? Check.



Global Hegemony? Check.



Russia? Check.



Aggressive foreign policy? Check.



Iran? Check.



Israel? Check.

Despite my very low impression of Cruz. If I had to choose it would be easy. I rather have someone like Cruz that votes majority of the time with Rand over BETO, who is an unabashed socialist.

I predict Cruz will win in the end but he isn't going to skate to the finish line, he's gonna have to work for it.

In other news, I think its pretty normal that Zip is triggered by any topic that isn't bashing Trump.

Cruz is like Trump, give me someone better to support in the primary and I will, until then he is better than most.

Impeachment?

No, not at all, haha, you need to stop reading Breitbart's attempts at written English.

If they get a majority in the House they can call for hearings to charge him with Impeachment but to actually do it would require 2/3rds of the Senate which won't happen unless a bunch of Republicans agree to go along. It would tie up the government for a while if they did try though. That is what happened with Clinton.

Mitch McConnell is the latest top Republican to say Ted Cruz faces a fight in red Texas

• Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says Sen. Ted Cruz faces a "competitive race" in red Texas.
• He is the latest Republican, including Texan and No. 2 Senate Republican John Cornyn, to acknowledge that Cruz faces a threat from Rep. Beto O'Rourke.
• McConnell also identifies nine Senate races he's watching in this year's midterm elections: Arizona, Nevada, Tennessee, Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Indiana, West Virginia and Florida.

Despite some wild conpiracy theories, there is no proof that Israeli lobbyist funded GOP-Jarvanka wing secretly could be helping liberal socialist Dem candidate to win in Florida governor race as it allegedly did to get conservative GOP Senate candidate defeated in Alabama few months back.

As long as Israel lobby AIPAC/Goldman Scahs with deep pockets keep supporting 'Lyin Ted', he's probably still likely to win narrowly. Although won't be too surprised if he lost given growing bad taste lately for neocons costly/deadly interventionist wars and global socialism projects that have cost taxpyers over $5-6 Trillion already since Iraqi/Syria/Libya/Afghan freedoms start. Many voters lately seem to prefer domestic socialism/protectinism over spending $Trillion for bombs factories and bridges from Israel to Baghdad.

The O'Rourke campaign website touts his support for a number of new gun-control laws. On the site, he advocates a new national universal background check law, opposes national gun-carry reciprocity, and calls for additional funding for government research on gun violence. He also explains his support for banning certain semiautomatic rifles and so-called high-capacity ammunition magazines.
O'Rourke spoke at length about his support for the ban at an event in February.
"This is as politically charged as it comes in Texas, and this is how I hope you know that I have the courage of my convictions because I'm willing to do this," he said. "I cosponsored the assault-weapons ban. Now, I understand there are many Texans who own these AR-15s, and some of them are very good friends of mine that I've been out shooting with. And they say, ‘Beto, why are you going to prevent me from buying a gun? I haven't hurt anybody. I haven't shot anybody. I keep this gun in a gun locker. I teach my kids gun safety. How could you do this because there's some crazy, evil person in Florida or Sutherland Springs or Las Vegas or pick the next city it's gonna to happen in?' I say, ‘You know what? You're right. We have the Second Amendment, and it's incredibly important, but the Second Amendment is not unlimited. You cannot carry a bazooka down the street. You cannot drive your tank down the street because we have a Second Amendment. There's gonna have to be some rational limit to our ability that keeps more people in our communities safe and alive.'"
Sen. Cruz opposes such a ban as well as a universal background check law but is a vocal supporter of national reciprocity. The Cruz campaign did not respond to a request for comment but he has received an A+ rating from the NRA while O'Rourke has received an F rating. Cruz has said O'Rourke's views are out of line with what most Texas voters believe.

Former President George W. Bush is headlining fundraisers for GOP candidates facing tough challenges ahead of the midterm elections. He won’t, however, be appearing on behalf of Ted Cruz, the Republican senator from his home state of Texas, The Dallas Morning News reported.
A spokesman for Bush told the newspaper that the other campaign appearances “work with our schedule.”
But it’s no secret Bush is not a big fan of Cruz, who served as domestic policy adviser for Bush’s 2000 presidential race and in his November’s elections faces a tough battle against Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke.
Bush said of Cruz at a GOP fundraising event in late 2015: “I just don’t like the guy,” several donors at the gathering told Politico. Cruz was running at the time against Bush’s brother, Jeb Bush, for the GOP presidential nomination.
“The tenor of what he said about the other candidates was really pretty pleasant,” one witness told Politico. “Until he got to Cruz.”

He's better than most:

https://www.thenewamerican.com/freedom-index

Sen. Ted Cruz - 78%



I prefer people who are 80% or better but he actually comes close.

[Bern]

He's better than most: ...Sen. Ted Cruz - 78%
...

I checked your link and clicked further for the details on Cruz.

Score Breakdown:
63% (115th Congress: 2017-2018); 76% (114th Congress: 2015-2016); 89% (113th Congress: 2013-2014)

He's gotten worse and worse each successive session. That resonates with my impression (my loose memory of his voting record on key issues) of his performance. Seems like it's becoming more frequent when I look at the votes on a key issue and see that Ted is on the wrong side (IMO) of the issue.

I also disagree with TNA's opinion of Ajit Pai and net neutrality. If they scored Ted's vote on that the way I personally score it, his score would be even lower for 2017-2018. I didn't scrutinize every vote listed to see where else we might disagree.

You are right about his decline but he is still better than Beto will be and we really don't want the Dems to have a Senate majority.

No Beto than O'Rourke = Lyin Ted

[enhanced_deficit]

Widely respected 'lyin Ted' is still ahead in polls according to latest. GOP-Jarvanak wing has dispatched MAGA junior to help pro-war zionist lobbies poodle apparently.
Beto ( who refused to get Obama endorsement) apparently has raised 3 times more money than LT.

A top Trump aide asked an Israeli company for help to take Ted Cruz out of the 2016 election

By David Gilbert Oct 9, 2018

A top Trump campaign aide asked an Israeli private intelligence firm — with links to the IDF, Cambridge Analytica and a Russian billionaire — to devise a “social media manipulation” strategy to hurt Trump’s political rivals during the primaries and the election, according to a New York Times report.
Rick Gates, then Trump’s deputy campaign manager, reportedly contacted Psy-Group in 2016, seeking fake online personas to help sway some 5,000 delegates to the 2016 Republican National Convention by attacking Ted Cruz — Trump’s main opponent for the Republican nomination.
A second proposal outlined how Trump’s team could use opposition research and “complementary intelligence activities” about Hillary Clinton and people close to her to win the election.
The secret proposals were codenamed “Project Rome,” with those involved also given codenames — Trump was “Lion”, Clinton was “Forest”, and Cruz was “Bear.”
There is no direct evidence that Gates or anyone within the Trump campaign acted on the Israeli company’s proposals.

Leftists on social media lost their minds Monday after The New York Times released an exposé, detailing Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) Democratic challenger, Beto O'Rourke's, early career in real estate development, and revealing for the first time this campaign that O'Rourke isn't a blue collar hero but rather the son-in-law of a billionaire.
The NYT reports that O'Rourke's father-in-law proposed gentrifying a neighborhood in El Paso by force, bulldozing public housing to make way for restaurants, a shopping district, and an art walk. Beto, the Times claims, served as the "pretty face" for the plan while also serving in city government, and often tangled with low-income El Paso residents protesting the plan.

“What might not have been entirely clear to everyone at the meeting was that the plan’s success was largely dependent on the city’s ability to convince property owners in the most blighted areas to turn over their holdings to the private trust. In the case of recalcitrant owners, eminent domain would be used," the Times reported.
Beto, who was an El Paso councilman at the time his father-in-law was looking to make the big changes, eventually abstained from voting on the matter, but not until after it was pointed out that publicly defending the development was, for Beto, a conflict of interest.
The New York Times is, by no means, a right-leaning publication, and is likely pulling — perhaps quietly — for Beto O'Rourke to unseat Ted Cruz. But leftists lashed out immediately, regardless, accusing the paper of trying to tank Beto's upstart campaign just days before Election Day.

Looks like the NY Times is now supporting Ted Cruz by printing this article the week before the election. Seriously, this is right up there with the timing of the erroneous "There's nothing to this Trump and Russia" story. It seems it may be time to cancel my subscription again.
— Carol Livingston (@clivingsbkk) October 29, 2018

Clearly @nytimes got the memo that #Beto is a threat to #TedCruz so they’re all in to stop him. Not this time we are on to you #VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

The NYT thinks it’s 1998 and that people like Beto and Gillum aren’t running against actual Nazis
— Jake Honig (@jakehonig) October 29, 2018

Some Twitter users even compared The New York Times's "hit job" on Beto to a piece the paper published on a suddenly re-opened investigation into Hillary Clinton's handling of classified information, a development that happened just days before the 2016 Presidential election, through no fault of The New York Times.
