And the fact that he is a snide fucker who says poo poo like "The Washington Cartel" in reference to the party establishment presently keeping him from being eaten alive by the dreadnaught that is the base he spent 4 years whipping up against that same establishment. There's plenty of blame to go around for creating the turd golem that is the Trump phenomenon, but Cruz deserves a double share for doing poo poo like running anti-establishment ads in a bunch of states trying to stoke resentment against the GOP for raising the debt ceiling and not shutting the government down over whatever immigration reform plan was on deck at the time. This poo poo has been a few decades in the making but Cruz and people like him have really spun them off from being a rowdy but reliable voting bloc to being a white-hot tidal wave of formless, aimless rage and hate. The guy winning their primary is a bundle of what would otherwise gotten run off of the ballot before Iowa 5 years ago but is somehow obliterating all competition by dint of yelling as loud as possible. It's a hell of a thing to watch, because they tied themselves to these railroad tracks and their choices are to either fracture their party by theft at the convention or let themselves be consumed in the fire after losing big in November.

Rich coming from the fat grifter who "runs for President" solely as an extended commercial for his book and pundit career.

He's the establishment. His wife worked for Goldman Sachs, he rubs elbows with many who were working on the bush campaign. I really hate that man and every single thing he represents.

The fact that Ted Cruz is the GOP's greatest hope at their party not being taken over by Trump and that he has to follow the Ron Paul playbook to do so is a wonderful thing.

No, but now that'll get replayed and a large swath of the GOP voting base will now know Syrian refugees are being settled in RI and somehow "lock your doors" is the worst thing ever How do you all not know how Trump works by now, do i have to explain it every drat time

Trump is like that guy Elaine dated in Seinfeld who kept getting stabbed because he could say some seemingly random descriptor that somehow goes right to the insultee's inner core. Like, you can totally see him calling someone too big-headed, their head is not in proportion to their body, and then getting attacked by a mallet or something.

Joe, (and, hell, the rest of the thread) just curious, how many Cruz supporting delegates do you think will be elected to the rules committee so far?

i think the kind of strategic alliance kasich and cruz are/were pretending to sign only works if you coordinate early enough that only one of your names is on each badly. even if you don't literally say 'vote for me in the states i ceded to my ally, i just won't spend any money on outreach' you really are gonna leak a lot to the other guy if his name's still on the ballot and you have to go public to have any chance of getting voters informed about how they should vote strategically bit it won't work part of the pivot mockery is an argument that the degree and substance of his pivoting is insufficient wrt the general electorate. not that they love Syrian refugees but theyre uncomfortable with this degree of honesty i think
