With Cruz you lose. Any GOP member who gives even the smallest amount of legitimacy to the media’s lies about Jan 6 is a Rino at best.

People like Cruz aren't RINOs. The Republicuck party exists to conserve progressive narratives and policies by lying for votes. The entire party has been a grift since at least 1945. Nixon could be considered a RINO because he at least attempted to recapture territory from progressives.

Rinos, Cuckservatives, whatever, I just meant more in a general sense that they cared more about preserving the media narrative than their own voter base.

I mean I think you’re pretty much right about the GOP, I don’t know what the solution is if our only two choices are faggotry and slightly slower faggotry.

The solution is to go outside the liberal framework, where political will is only expressed by voting, and pursue political objectives with the full spectrum of other means.

Didn't Nixon make some kind of trade deal with the CCP? If it weren't for that the US would be a lot better off, and maybe even the CCP would've collapsed by now. He's a irredeemable PoS for that alone.

You seriously think Cruz cares about the 'old' money in Texas?

He's changing his tune because of all the 'new' money flooding in, the companies fleeing California and the rich assholes fleeing California into Texas.

He's naive as hell to believe that he can appeal to both, hope his career crashes and burns by trying to suck the dicks of the new money showing up in TX.

This charge could be leveled, I think fairly, at the Congress in general. Yes, I know he's a senator. I mean the whole body that's responsible for passing laws. They mostly talk, and when they do pass laws, they're giveaways to political donors. Not much done (or undone) to benefit regular people.

And taking on big tech? Haha, let me laugh even harder. They are some of the biggest funders of lobbyists in Washington. They'll do something right before they cancel foreign aid to Israel.

The only thing Ted Cruz cares about is keeping his job. He clearly thinks the opinions of the Democrats are more of a threat to that than the opinions of republican voters.

He may even be right.

I honestly suspect that he probably is.

Something you can never accuse Cruz of being is dumb. The guy is smart as a whip.

Pre-beard the guy's ugly as sin with a punchable face and yet he nearly edged out Trump for the nomination.

So pay attention to what he's doing because it'll tell you something important - what that is idk, but it's not an accident.

I think he is genuinely concerned that there'll be a federally orchestrated purge of of conservatives, and he doesn't want to get caught in it.

"Conservative not backstabbing the party" challenge.

There was a terrorist there, the guy who left pipe bombs in the bushes to blow up Trump supporters.

I doubt this was scripted, Ted seemed like he expected an 'easy' interview from tucker, and he kept asking him difficult questions.

Saying "you lied" isnt exactly a softball.

But notice how it ended, with Cruz pretending to be the good guy to get the people on the Right to think that he just "slipped" up and used a common Progressive talking point to describe January 6th.

It's all theatre at this point.

Cruz says just enough to hold on to what power he has on the Right to cede territory to the Left.

of course its all theater. cruz does that to save his cred, hes a politician, all of them do that shit. scott adams was doing the same today. (honorary shitlib). i think he was trying to consider that relationship with tucker, as him turning on cruz would potentially matter to him. it was a good interview though, and a lot tougher than maddow or any other lib will be on any of the democrats.
