What has who done?

Cruz is going to Cruz.

For being as smart as he is (and he is..as a lawyer), his political instincts are always off.

planoaggie123 said:

Correct.

The issue is he is not an enemy but he has almost no real value to conservatives as far as positive action....can be said for 90% of republicans in office....

---

Can be said for pretty much ALL POLITICIANS...except perhaps for Jim Jordan, Ron Paul and DeSantis.

Yes....but unfortunately Dems seem to be more about getting things done....

I've just witnessed a murder

---

I'm not sure I have ever seen a sitting Senator absolutely destroyed this badly. This was an absolute domination by a man who knows Cruz very well.

Not even Trump came close to this.

---

You based that on a 40 second clip that doesn't even show Cruz's response?

LMFAO

---

The actual full interview is much worse. Tucker repeatedly assaults him and Ted does nothing but grovel. He looked extremely pathetic and showed his true colors.

---

Lets vote for Beto !!!!

Cruz made a mistake. Lets erase all the good that he has done and cancel his ass. That will show 'em.

Congrats on the pathetic post of the day. Lets throw everyone under the buss that makes a mistake and hand it all the the radical left. Some of you people are nuts.

weird. you literally are making excuses for him. I am not trying to peer pressure you on anything. Think what you want if it helps you cope with Cruz saying something dumb and now begging for forgiveness like a ____old (word banned by texags)

I'm not going to not vote for Cruz because of this, but he does need to be called to the carpet. Not the "he didn't want to say it, but had to because he was scared" BS.

---

Now this is fair criticism. Some of you mindless crazys that react and fail to think of the alternatives need to chill.

I guess I am. It was a bone-headed thing to say, and he was called on it and went on national TV the next day to walk it back. Yet his original statement is still in the Record. Yet I tend to evaluate Cruz on the entirety of his tenure in the Senate.

I was not originally a Cruz supporter, but have come to realize that he has been an effective Senator. Much better than Cornyn. Everything I want and perfect? No, but I have trouble thinking of 5 other current Senators I'd rather have, much less anyone in the Texas bullpen to replace him.

So yes, I'll defend him against those trying to tear him down. He's not perfect, but he's one of the best we have right now.

Cruz came across incredibly unlikeable and not trustable tonight. The most smarmy he's ever sounded.

What I see is him nervously tap-dancing because he knows he stepped in it.

Is there any going back?

Who do you suggest we follow.........? I am getting a real feeling we got some far right neo's in here with crow bars that are nothing but useful idiots to the radical left.

Are you asking who to follow?

I am just stating we have a republican party that has basically yielded most decisions to the democratic party....limited action....lots of talk....not saying most dont have decent ideas....not saying we should be a far right government....just pretty clear that certain politicians are better than others and honestly those seem to be the left more so than the right....

That's kind of the problem, there really isn't anyone. There's a few who are showing lots of promise in other states like Joe Kent, Blake Masters, JD Vance, etc but none of them are in office yet.

The learned helplessness of the right has led us to making excuses for the guy who is supposed to be our great champion parroting the lies of the regime narrative. It's not so much if we should follow this guy or that guy, but how we select and half accountable our representatives. It's a systemic problem and making excuses for Cruz while pretending like Beto is the only alternative is short sighted and only makes the problem worse.

It is not a mistake to parrot the regime narrative in prepared remarks and I'll not be convinced otherwise.

DD88 said:

---

Why don't y'all try watching the whole interview where he explains that he's referring to attacking law enforcement as terrorism and not the other protestors?



His full statement from 1/5:

Quote:

---

Cruz: Thank you for your service. And I want to start by thanking the heroic service of the men and women who serve alongside you. We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week, and it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol, where we saw the men and women of law enforcement demonstrate incredible encourage, incredible bravery, risk their lives to defend the men and women who serve in this Capitol. We are grateful for that courage. We appreciate the selfless sacrifice of the men and women who keep us safe. And I will say, my view is that anyone who commits an act of violence should be prosecuted. And anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer should go to jail for a very long time. And I think that's a principle that's true regardless of the politics of the violent criminal whether they are right-wing, left-wing or they've got no wings at all. If you assault a cop, you ought to go to jail for a long, long time. And I hope we get some agreement that that should be true regardless of the political context that ostensibly and purportedly justifies that violence that we will stand with the men and women in blue. So I thank you for your service, I thank the men and women who serve with you, for their service.

Does this statement include the coward officer who stepped from behind a door to kill an unarmed

protester?

Stat Monitor Repairman said:

If i've learned one thing over the past 2-years, its that Cruz is ass,

And Abbott is ass.

there is no leadership at any level.

Over the past 6-years, its all turned into one big reality show where nobody is doing anything but s***posting on social media.

In other words, we are f***ed.

Desantis may be a little squirt of lube, but for the most part, we f***ed.

Its a race to the bottom now.

If that were true, he wouldn't be in office.

But people like you weren't going to support him no matter what he did. If you want to hold leaders to a perfect record of never saying anything ridiculous, be my guest. But I doubt even the leaders you vote for hold up to such a standard.

whatthehey78 said:

Oh I have no doubt he's been threatened. The mainstream of the party has never considered him a friend.

I simply think he over-spoke while trying to look at it from a "play stupid games win stupid prizes"
perspective in terms of going against law enforcement. He should have just said they made a stupid decision to storm in there, but he didn't. Now he's willing to say he was wrong...that's a hell of a more than you'd get from most of the swamp characters he has to work with.

TAMU1990 said:

He made a mistake and is willing to say so. Cruz does so many things that are good for conservatives. He defends regular Americans and there are very few like him up there. No need to continue the circular firing squad.

---

True, he still has my vote. But maybe if a few conservatives are called out for this type of BS, they'll take note because they don't want to be put on blast in front of all of their constituents and the entire country.

I'm all for conservatives. Cruz screwed up. He came on TV admitted what he did was dumb and Tucker hammered him for it. Good for Tucker. I also look a Cruz's record he does more than lip services. How many libtards has he destroyed on the Hill thanks to his skill as a first rate debater. He is the most hated conservative in DC because he is effective. He learned a lesson this week to never cater or cowtow to the enemy in a DC world where this is nothing but the enemy.

I look at the man's total record and not the latest 24h sound bites.
