Well, putting Cruz in charge of the government would be like making atheist Richard Dawkins the next Pope. Cruz thinks a government shutdown is better than a government in operation, and Dawkins wants to dismantle the Catholic Church.

Oh please, stop. Republicans complain almost ceaselessly that their elected officials have let them down by caving to the Democrats. Cruz stood his ground, the only one who would do so, and he is attacked by the same people who bash the Republicans for not stopping the Democrats. Of all the 17 GOP candidates, Cruz is the one and only person who pushed back–he should be a hero.

I also take note that you said nothing about the Lucifer comments…
 
Really, if he is gonna say it like that, let’s hear what the beef is all about!
 
Makes me like Cruz even more-Trump is Boehner’s buddy.
So who is the real outsider and who is the real establishment insider, again?

Yes, this is such strong language and from Boehner - you have to wonder if it will backfire and actually create sympathy for Cruz. (kind of like the Heidi Cruz tweets did)

Indiana will be very interesting to see if Cruz pulls it out or not; I will be a little bit surprised if he does. The state has a lot of blue collar, industrial workers on hard times who are with Trump; also the Kasich supporters are torn between Cruz, Trump and not voting (since Kasich pulled out to help Cruz). They like Kasich still, not inclined to do the strategic thing. Governor Pence has not endorsed any candidate.

(I just saw that Trump doesn’t actually even need Indiana to have a good shot to reach 1237)

Right, because obviously Cruz just wanted to shut down the gov for the sake of shutting down the gov.

:rolleyes:

But seriously, I think Boehner’s comments just further the “Party of No” image. 😊

👍 Yes I thought that was the reason people initially were supporting Trump…he was an outsider, would go to Washington and shake things up,was politically incorrect didn’t care who liked him, ect…
Yes that is right about Cruz he is the only one who stood up to them and that’s why they hate him

Good analogy. 👍

BTW, do yourselves a favor.

Look at the stock market prices when the government shutdown in 2013, then look at the prices when the government reopened.

Knowing Cruz’s wife was at Goldman Sachs, and Eric Cantor got a multi-million dollar job with a stock investment firm, you’ll understand what the real reason for the government shutdown…
