You have to respect the man for taking an ass beating from GEOTUS (which he did) and swallow his pride to do what’s best for the country rather than petty revenge. Lion Ted indeed.
And he really seems to be a Trump fan while fighting for the President’s agenda. I voted for him in the primary before I realized what a gem Trump was.
Yeah, Rubio got his ass kicked and never got over it, just not as blatant as Romney, because he knows he wouldn't be re-elected if he went full retard.
He pivoted pretty quickly once he realized his old schtick wasn't working in the Trump era. I'm still unsure how genuine it is. He has been in politics most all of his working life after all. I'll wait and see what he does post-Trump in 2024.
It just may be the previous version was the mask and this is the real Cruz. Don't forget who ran the party before. McCain, Ryan, Romney type folks. He had to get along with them. He picked a side.
Yep, I really like this new Cruz. The dude despises him some commies and loves his country. Was skeptical at first but you can tell its genuine and he actually seems like he's having a blast the last few years. Trump gave him his balls back.
He worked for both the federal and state gvt, but didn't run for office till 2012. He didn't pivot all that much, he just wasn't willing to push things as far as President Trump is
He taught him to stop acting like a politician and start acting like a person.
After listening to cruz's podcast, i now understand we needed Trump in our public discourse because it was hijacked by fags (its 2020, fag no longer means gay) who believe the 'way' you talk and 'sounding smart' were more important than common sense, substance and reality.
Has Cruz changed his personality, or has he just outsourced his twitter? I supported him until Trump presented his platform, but damn was Cruz wooden, greasy, and unlikable. Like a car salesman/televangelist.
I haven't been keeping up. What is a good slur for gays then?
Hopefully he will see that we want a "disrupter" type rather than textbook politician if he runs again. Maybe we will continue to see this side of him.
As soon as he hitched his wagon to that wacky cuck Glenn Beck he was dead to me. Next thing you know he was bringing soccer balls and teddy bears down to the border like a fucking RINO trolling for misleadia love. It was disgusting and disappointing to say the least.
JR is not battle tested. He is a good guy and has the right policies like his father, but he is not as charismatic or as battle hardened as his father.
Cruz seems like a legit stand up dude. I remember when I thought he wasnt. I think there was genuine concern among republicans if or how seriously president elect Trump was.
It was a hard fought battle between Cruz & Trump and it got a little nasty. I am sure there's regret on both sides, but lion Ted came around faster then most, if not all, despite embattled & all eyes on him. Since, Cruz has stood tall & stood correct. I commend him for that
I like what I see from him now, but then again I liked what I saw from him prior to the 2016 campaign too. His campaign was an absolute shit show as he donned full RINO regalia and proceeded to play cuckservative with his buddy Glenn Beck. He has done a lot to redeem himself since, but I absolutely will still hold it against him if he runs for President again and will be keeping watch for any hint of that 2016 fuckery returning.
Same here. I couldn’t stand this dude for a few years, but he has really improved on a lot of my criticisms of him. He’s also genuinely funny as hell. I love every time he is on Crowder. Would love to meet him one day. I wish we could have a dude like this in AR but we have to settle for Cotton..

It's the beard what did it for me
Yeah, Rubio got his ass kicked and never got over it, just not as blatant as Romney, because he knows he wouldn't be re-elected if he went full retard.
It’s always amazing to see a politician realize that it’s ok to have a genuine personality.
You got to be quick around here.
That's because we're family. Have a great great weekend pede!
Took a few seconds and the penny dropped. Nice one!
I always liked Cruz. I would have voted for him in 2016, except for the fact that he flip flopped on TPP, which made me suspicious of him.
If you remember back in the primary, Cruz didn't really attack POTUS until they were the last 2 left
He pivoted pretty quickly once he realized his old schtick wasn't working in the Trump era. I'm still unsure how genuine it is. He has been in politics most all of his working life after all. I'll wait and see what he does post-Trump in 2024.
I trust him to be more genuine than Graham.
That's setting a low bar.

It was nice of Trump to give him his balls back, considering President Trump is the one that took them from him in the first place
He who giveth, taketh away

Poofs
I want him to run for president in 2024. I think he would be a great candidate to keep our movement going.
Only if we get Lion Ted and not the Neutered Lying Ted from 2016.
Funny thing is he was like this prior to 2016 too. It was only after he had to look "presidential" that he went down hill.
Hopefully he will see that we want a "disrupter" type rather than textbook politician if he runs again. Maybe we will continue to see this side of him.
I really hope so.

I like Jr. too. He's a gunslinger. You know he'd work every single day to protect 2A.
I think Jim Jordan is the Better choice. I like Cruz, but he has done some things which make me wonder if he is beholden to big business.
Agreed. I think he’s the best bet for 2024, Trump has taught him how to fight.
I think he's funny and good to have on our side but I just can't trust him. Seems like a chameleon that changes to fit in with whomever has power.
Would vote for him in a heartbeat...absent Jr.
VP to Jr?
JR is not battle tested. He is a good guy and has the right policies like his father, but he is not as charismatic or as battle hardened as his father.
Jim Jordan 2024

Faster than most? That's not the impression I got at the convention.
I do not trust Cruz on immigration. Not a bit.
Dude's like Captain America.
He even grew a beard.
Cruz probably thanks God every night he wasn't elected POTUS after seeing the hell POTUS has been put through.
I almost changed my username after the election. Almost.
He got better.
Lion Ted now. He took an ass kicking from trump and still supports him. I’ll save my judgment post 2024
I like what I see from him now, but then again I liked what I saw from him prior to the 2016 campaign too.

Cotton isn't bad, could have been worse, Ben Sasse, Romney, Rubio, Lying Lindsey etc.
He may be a booger eater with resting cuckface, but dude knows the Constitution better than anyone in Congress since Ron Paul himself.
Call me after the opening salvos of the 2024 race. That's when you'll see if he's really changed or just a power driven RINO hack.
No politicians other than Trump are really genuine that I've found, but he seems to be getting to be himself.
"Strings Cut"
Same here. He's actually a pretty funny guy too. FYI, he has a podcast called "The Verdict". Give it a listen.
Absolutely
Same. He is a little squirrely though. Especially with his weird pop culture references.
And some dude named Francis thought he could take on Cruz
wow, Kevin from The Office grew a beard!
Gotta agree with you.
Think he’s A/B testing the beard for GEOTUS’ second term? :)
I always kind of liked Ted, but I like him much better after being tempered by the Donald.
Bearded Cruz is like an old spice commercial.
He changed my mind too. It goes to show people can change - not easy - but possible.
