'“I’m a Christian first, American second, conservative third and Republican fourth,” Cruz said, as quoted by Politico. “I’ll tell ya, there are a whole lot of people in this country that feel exactly the same way.”'
Sorry, Ted. That's a fine personal creed, but it's really not what I want to know about you as a potential president of the United States. Especially given your flavor of what being a 'Christian' means.
(Also — and, yes, this applies to Bernie Sanders, too — it's kind of difficult to position yourself as an "outsider" as a US Senator.)
Cruz Says ‘Washington Establishment’ Has Dumped Rubio In Favor Of Trump
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) positioned his presidential rival Donald Trump as a puppet of the “Washington establishment” while talking to reporters in New Hampshire Wednesday, Politico reported.
Not just a senator. He's one of the few people i know of who's been part of all three branches of government. It's mind-blowing how he's managed to get people to believe him as an outsider.
