Well, that settles it! He can never win without your vote in a GOP Primary.HoustonAggie37713 said:
Ted Cruz will never be President. He's the smartest guy in the room and he knows it. I will never vote for him in a GOP Primary.

Right, no issues with that. Change the law.
Trump surrogate Rudy was on FoxNews two days ago saying Trump if relected is going to take apart and destroy FB/Twitter, etc. That feels like a vendetta.
Change the law or modernize the law if they are not operating within the parameters of 230.
Clarence Thomas wrote a paper a few weeks ago that suggested that if a company is operating as a platform and a publisher, then the publisher rules supercede the platform protections.
No issues with that whatsoever.
My point is why is Cruz on Twitter in the first place? Why is Trump on Twitter?

I have taken some professional development courses with an emphasis on big tech. A key point that they teach and is carried in the industry is that it is better to ask for forgiveness than permission. One should not worry about the legalities of something because it will give your competition an opportunity. If something really goes wrong, worst case is your company goes bankrupt and you go elsewhere. Considering my oil and gas background and history as a manufacturer of equipment for industry, I do not agree as there is personal liability and criminality potentially at risk. If you want Big Tech to be concerned about the rule of law, the risk has to be extended to the people making the decisions.Quote:
God, Dorsey is an unrepentant hypocrite and liar. That is one of the major problems we have in society today. Big Tech and their executives are above the law. There is nothing in our legal framework to hold them accountable for their actions.
Exactly, otherwise their communications go through the media filter which is 99.99% against them and highly likely to be taken out of contextTroutslime said:awinlonghorn said:

To communicate directly to the people

Opens up Twitter for legislation
I do recommend watching the interview he did with Joe Rogan sometime in the past year or so. He brought his legal person with him and had her answer most of the questions.AlexNguyen said:

Cruz was running a Trump-lite campaign in 2016, but he didn't have the outsider, 'deal-maker' appeal Trump did. Trump has taught the republican party leaders to fight back and Cruz suffered some collateral damage in the primaries that democrats still like to poke fun at Cruz for. Maybe Cruz could become president after Trump. I think Dan Crenshaw has a higher ceiling though.ttu_85 said:This is and has been why Ted Cruz has always been my guy. It should be him running for re-election and not lightning rod Trump. That said voting for Trump on Tuesday.Premium said:
First question.
Cruz - can Twitter influence elections
Dorsey - No
Checkmate and no one got it - then how did Russia influence elections in 2016?
some of you guys are wrong about Cruz. He can win an election. Sharp as they come.

Okay Ted. Why haven't you arrested Dorsey?
Does the way Trump has been treated for the last 3 1/2 years by the democratic party leaders, liberals and MSM feel like a vendetta to you?awinlonghorn said:
