Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire why the hate for Cruz here?

I voted Cruz.

No hate for Cruz. Its not the right time for him. Many Cruzers don't get it. The time is to take the very person personified by Trump and use him to blow up the GOP and Washington. Cruz cannot do that because he is an "insider" too.
We don't criticize Cruz for not being conservative, he is more of that than Trump.
Except Cruz doesn't have the correct temperament to do what has to be done.
We need someone who is willing to have sharp elbows and a sharp tongue to rip the entrenched stagnant cabal of self centered, self righteous, career driven politicians from their pillars of power.
Cruz cannot do that. We need someone with no history, links, zip code or area code to come in and introduce the politicians to what "scorched earth" means.
If Trump fails to win or perform as we think he can, than we are finished.
We are 90% there anyway, with nothing to lose. Hildabeast will finish the job if she wins.

Now, do you get it? No animosity, just raw sentiment.

I voted for Cruz, not because I like his looks or the way he can preachy


but for the balls he's had while in Congress and his strong conviction about our Constitution.


I'm the fing kiss of death for a canidate.

I should have made Kaisch my guy, or that fat blowhard Christie.


but I'm gonna vote for whomever ain't Hilary

You hope. That's all you can do with Trump because he's never proven a thing you suggest. And all of DC loves him because they get lots and lots of money from him so they can do his bidding. He tells you that over and over. Haven't you been paying attention?

2 things. First, I believe Trump is the only one that can beat Hillary. I think the rest (including Cruz) will fall to the way side when she plays the "woman" card. Secondly I know "died in the wool" Obama lovers who will vote for Trump. Any other republican and they will vote for Hillary. Myself, any republican gets my vote as should be the case of anyone that likes guns.

Cruz should have stood up for the first amendment instead of saying that Trump brought the riot on himself.

There's a fairly serious cultural war going on in America. We need a President who will take a stand.

Cruz has demonstrated that it's not him.

+1

He also tried hard to pass amnesty, i.e., to make the millions of illegals in the US legal. Then he lied about it when running for the presidency. Hard to forgive that.

,...and he was one of the big advocates for Obamatrade,..and now claims that he wasn't.

You must be joking or woefully uninformed. Bernie is an avowed socialist that would institute sweeping measures faster than H. The guy is a student of Alinsky and Soros. He would turn the US into a second rate Venezuela.
Sweet? Well ok, if you think Che Guevara was too.
God save us!

Well that is better than no excuse. It's a poor one none the less and I'm sure it's the best you can do trying to be nice, but poor none the less.

I think Trump dropped out of the last debate, because as one fox personality said, he knows so little about policy, and how things work he has trouble filling his minute and 15 seconds. If he's in the same room with Cruz, debating anything it will be obvious how little he does know.

I see all sorts of vile here about cruz from trump people. if your being rational at best trump is a wild card. YES if he steam rolls everyone and does what he has said in the campaign then GREAT. how can trump supporters reconcile his past statements??? if you support trump how do you explain 4 contributions to hillary for president? do you think she will not bring that up later? what about everything else that he has said that we actually have video of? that is why trump is a wild card. we simply can't know for sure what he will actually do.

cruz has a history of doing everything major on trumps list before he ran for president. I take the guy that has done the same before, during and now as a better bet on what the future will be.

trump people your probably getting trump, and if you don't you get Cruz. stop the shat storm! you win either way.

Except you forget one important fact. The GOP hates Cruz more than Trump. Read it again.
Trumps past statements have little merit because he was not running nor was he a politician.
Cruzers and others are judging him by the same political standards we use for politicians. That isn't legitimate for someone who never held office. I know its hard to accept but its the fact. Look at his poll numbers............

Nice?

I'm not trying to be nice.

Cruz said exactly the same thing as Rachel Maddow about those people who rioted.

I don't want Rachel Maddow or anyone who agrees with her to be President.

Now he's hooked up with Lindsey Graham, for Pete's sake.

I don't know what else you Cruz people need to see. He's one mess after the other.

so isn't that a good thing?

It depends on why.

My hands are too big for the keyboard sometimes.

It's a problem you guys with small hands wouldn't understand...

So, then, in your opinion Obama and Holder and the rest aren't in the slightest responsible for any of the unrest in the last few years because they were just exercising their 1st Amendment rights? So the whole Trevon Martin and Baltimore and Ferguson.. the Obama administration bears zero responsibility for it just like Trump bears zero responsibility?

Just making sure this is your stance, because I seem to remember a few statements over the last few years where you seemed to have an opinion slightly different than that.

I honestly don't think Cruz would stand a better chance to win the white house than McCain or Romney. He can't attract different voters or gain more states in my opinion.

I've always voted for the most conservative choice, but with talking to friends and other like minded voters I realized that Ted just wasn't going to get the numbers that he needed to win. He has a used car salesman vibe that turns some people away.

Cruz is da man for the job
