Exactly. Well said.

I'm just not a Cruz supporter, I see it as another glaring example of how someone can be 'fighting for your freedoms' [while being a paid-trial lawyer to do so] and not really sure where they stand.

He has marketed himself as a defender of the Constitution. Obviously he is when it serves his needs.

He's a competitor, he's going to throw him under the bus to try and make himself look better.

He's a GOP candidate. Of course he cannot be the best defender of the constitution.

I hope that's kool-aid. It is discouraging in a Presidential election year without an incumbent that these are the choices. K hates politics anyway I think.

umm...cause the koolaid has the floor all sticky?

Yes.

I do not get it. I don' get why I don't love this site anymore-got an answer?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke at Columbia University back in 2007. Why do so many college students defend that as free speech and yet protest to silence a candidate for President?

so. let's defend Hitler's right to free speech. I would, but I'd still get sick

I think it is because he is very principled. I have not met him but have listened to countless hours of interviews and read his book. He has always come across as a very nice person but a person of character and conviction.

Personally, I believe if you are well liked in that hole, you are not doing your job. I experienced the same thing when I was an elected official on our local county board. While I got along with all of the other elected officials, most did not like me because I was always talking about protecting the taxpayer. I believed my job was to be a taxpayer representative, not someone elected to run the county. Most believe they are elected to run the county.

I spoke to someone working on Senator Toomeys re-election campaign. He said that Cruz is not well liked in the Senate. Not sure if it's because he is principled or just an a#@hole.

Personally I'm more concerned that he doesn't keep making these kind of mistakes or I may start to believe they are not mistakes and he is just like any other politician. I think that would hurt him in the polls.

I'm curious to see if it hurts him in the polls. Not much time left now. Rubio looks done and Kasich has to hope for a brokered convention.

IMHO, he was wrong in not defending Trump. Personally, I am hoping he will realize his mistake and admit it. As of this moment I think he is the only candidate that says he is for the Constitution. Does that make him the best? Only time will tell.
