Cruz RNC Speech

[Weatherman2020]

If Trump was a leader he would have had face to face meetings with all his enemies. Didn't happen, so now he's paying the price.

Trump won. They need to go kiss his ring, not the other way around, dude.

I admire people who stand up against people who should not be in the Oval Office.

So you voted for Bernie?

Hell no.

bye bye white christian party , no way you can win

I can't stand Frump and I seriously doubt he's going to win but it would be great to have him win if only to watch your head explode.

Hitlery's only chance is in the illegal and the dead and buried coming out of the graves to vote for her.

You over estimate your fellow voting citizens........

The loserterians just took it up the ass!!! Go Clinton!

Stick a fork in that motherfucker, he's done.....

Cruz appeared to be committing political suicide when he stood alone against such things as raising the debt limit that he promised to do, while others in the GOP caved.

However, the American people remembered and he led the GOP nomination process for a short time, until another "outsider" like Trump convinced the voters that Cruz was really an insider, despite standing up to the establishment.

Cruz is now doing it again. He knows that Trump will either fail to beat Hillary, or if elected will fail the country. Cruz is just doing what he does best, betting on the continued demise of the country and then cashing in, my guess is in 4 to 8 years.

Yuck. I hope not. He is way to religious and seems like the type of candidate who would like to force his religious whackiness on the rest of us! No thank you. I would die before I would vote for Cruz.

Yuck. I hope not. He is way to religious and seems like the type of candidate who would like to force his religious whackiness on the rest of us! No thank you. I would die before I would vote for Cruz.

I suppose it depends a lot on how desperate people become. This is what the GOP nominated instead.



Yep, 4 to 8 years sounds about right.

As much as I don't like Trump, I would vote for him over Ted Cruz any day. He is more moderate and I'm a centrist.

Centrism. The road to a $20 trillion debt.

Sounds more like radicalism to me.

Wait till the economy folds under either Trump or Hillary.

Since people seem to get so confused that I don't support either of your stupid parties. Here is why. Maybe this can help clear things up for you.

What is Centrist/Centrism — The Centrist Party

What is Centrist/Centrism
Centrists don't have party lines. Centrists believe that solutions are more important than bias. While there is no set rule for what a Centrist is, there are some generally accepted guidelines that seem to depict the Centrist mode of thought. Centrism is a political ideology based on reason and pragmatism considerate of short and long term thinking - Centrism is not defined by compromise or moderation, it is considerate of them. Centrism is about achieving common sense solutions that appropriately address current and future needs; support the public trust; and serve the common good with consideration of risk and capacity in context of these needs.
Modern definitions sometimes conflate Centrism with moderation but the Centrist Party tenets generally oppose moderate views. Let's just call moderates 'moderates' and Centrists 'Centrist'.

Salient points about Centrism from the CP perspective:

• Centrism is not about doing what is popular, it is about doing what is right.
• Centrism is not moderate but rather supports strength, tradition, open mindedness and policy based on evidence not ideology.
• Centrism is not about compromise but rather allows for it as reasonable.
• Centrists are independent thinkers. They gauge situations based on context and reason, consideration and probability. They are open minded and exercise conviction. Willing to fight for reason as opposed to ideology.

1. Ideology limits the capacity of reasoning
2. Centrist conviction is not limited by ideology
3. Reasoning is based on pragmatic reality and circumstance.

Centrism is not a belief. It is an open book to an unfolding situation. This does not mean it is moderate, but that it is considerate of changing circumstances that may require reconsideration based on the intelligence available, and reason itself.

• Centrists are independent.
• Centrists argue based on reason and context to define relevance of a given point.
• Centrists tend to be pragmatic and avoid extremes whenever possible. Of course an extreme may be a required action so luckily Centrists tend to exercise reason in application.

• Centrists tend to dislike special interest influence and unfair practices. They don’t appreciate spin from candidates or news organizations.
• Centrists tend to believe that if we dealt with the facts and concentrated on working together we could fix a lot more problems than two polar opposite parties constantly embattled in their own agendas and ideologies.
• Centrists seek accountability in governance.
• Honor & Integrity - Centrists tend to believe that political spin erodes the integrity of the vote and certainly that of the politician.

Candidates

• To honor the electorate candidates should be motivated by the strength of their reasoning and the wisdom to know that convictions are merely perspectives based on current understanding and circumstance; and that learning is key to future solutions.
• Honor in intention: means not just being honest, but to be honorable. Not just saying "I did" or "did not" say "that" but "I mean "this" or "that". America is tired of being misled by politicians that handily word craft their way in and out of positions and rely on popularity polls to figure out what they need to say next, in order to pander to some special interest, or get more votes.

What Centrists Are Not

• Centrists are not moderate.

Moderation has more in kind with compromise than working toward the best solution. The reality of modern politics is that compromise is the status quo. This leads to policy that is not based on pragmatism but rather on the needs of compromised points of view.

The goal is not compromise, but rather pragmatism based on reasonable considerations, short and long-term. In other words, decisions and policies based on the best answer, not the compromise between two flawed perspectives that are ideologically opposed.

When necessary, compromise, but fight for reason and present the case to bring others closer to the most pragmatic solution or policy.

 

[Dale Smith]

This is nothing but great theater....there has been no huge shift in the policy of USA.INC since Kennedy was murdered by the shareholders of this corporate entity that lamely attempts to pass itself off as a legitimate governmental body. I laugh in their faces and I taunt them with the truth. They can't refute what I say so they either ignore me or block me...mostly they just block me. Hitlery is a globalist shill that will do the bidding of her corporate masters and the middle class will continue to be dismantled just like it was planned by the Club Of Rome, an offshoot of the U.N in 1969.

"I Toldja!"

"I Toldja!"

"It's been 4 years Trump is a total failure!"

"Vote for me, cus I NEVER supported Trump!"



the only problem is, 4 years from now Cruz won't even be in politics

I don't think you really know what a centrist is. Lol. You partisans are so funny.

Holy shit...

[Locke11_21]

I'm just wondering, in the history of conventions, whether it be Democratic or Republican, has there ever been anyone that was such a gigantic asshole that they got booed off the stage like Ted Cruz was?

Donald Trump Jr. said it best, some of the unity I saw was the audience booing Ted Cruz off the stage.

While Ted Cruz is smart, never have I seen a more foolish person, he just ended his political career, which is a good thing - one less globalist shitbag to stab America in the back.

I thought it was great how Newt Gingrich trashed Ted Cruz in front of the convention, great job Newt!

 

[sonic]

Oh sure he will. Cruz is a career politician going forward. He loves the spotlight and the bully pulpit to spread his unique brand of assholedom.

So you are not concerned about the massive debt and the deteriorating economy?

The Federal government sure does not seem to be.

It is like the credit crisis. The mortgage companies were happy because they were selling more houses to people who really could not afford them, the politicians were happy because they could brag that there were more home owners, Wall Street was happy because they took the toxic mortgages and repackaged them into investments people bought because they were made so complicated that even Warren Buffet had no idea what they were, etc. Everyone was happy......until.....the bubble burst.

I see that happening with the current path of the US economy and it's dysfunctional government. Everyone is happy.....until......the bubble bursts. It will make the credit crisis seem like a walk in the park.

Cruz is waiting.

 

[sonic]

True, but astonishly MUCH less of a sack of shit than the guy you whiney little Trump bitches support.

 

[Alex.]

what a fucktard GOP'er....

 

[Votto]

In Venezuela people are eating out of trash cans after following socialism into the abyss.

My guess is that someone like Cruz would have them eating out of his hand.
