Ted Cruz has No Dignity

Everyday there's a " New " turd delivered to the Whitehouse steps via Democrats....
 
You keep calling me a turd. And I'm flattered that you like my shade throwing enough to be stealing lines I came up with and have successfully tormented Lion and you conservatives with... but can't you come up with your own material? It feels like intellectual theft.

Don't flatter yourself, you're full off Caca and you've " Earned " the Turd.
 
So did anyone read the article in my OP? I find it fascinating. Trump's administration is not afraid to burn even the closest of allies when politically expedient. Some Republican's have done well in this environment and you see their stock rising. Others... not so much.



Donald Trump stole Ted Cruz's dignity — but some Republicans have held on to theirs
http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-ted-cruz-time-blurb-republicans-dignity-2018-4

Nearly two years ago, I wrote a note of warning to House Speaker Paul Ryan: Trump can beat you, but he can only take away your dignity if you surrender it to him voluntarily (or if you are Jeb Bush).

Ryan didn't listen.

But on the occasion of Ted Cruz's florid Time 100 tribute to the man who accused his dad of being involved in the JFK assassination and threatened to "spill the beans" on his wife, I thought it was time to take stock of the overall state of Republican dignity: Who's offered it up to Trump on a plate, who's preserved it, and has anyone besides Jeb had it taken away involuntarily?

The results are a mixed bag — not as grim as you might expect.

What is dignity?
Dignity is "bearing, conduct or speech indicative of self-respect."

So, for example, if a man tweets side-by-side photos of your wife and his wife intending to show that his wife is hot and yours isn't, and then that man beats you in an election, and then he leaves the tweet up for two years, and then you praise him for having "disoriented and distressed members of the media and political establishment" such as yourself, then your speech has failed to indicate self-respect, and you lack dignity.

I should be clear about what dignity is not. To be dignified, a Republican officeholder does not have to be a liberal. They don't have to abandon long-held positions on issues like taxes and healthcare just because Donald Trump agrees with them. They don't have to criticize the president at every turn.

They just have to show that they're their own people, making choices of their own volition rather than because Trump has put them in the position of feeling they must do something.

Mostly, they have to avoid doing things that are obviously ridiculous. It's a low bar. And a handful of Republican officeholders have even managed to clear it.

These Republicans have kept their dignity

Kinda sounds like you are afraid of Mr Cruz.

It's what they do, they have no real ideas or imagination to speak of, never have, that's why they are followers. They completely abandoned conservatism for Trumpism.

Trump is merely the latest figurehead for the American fascist movement, who have for years been trying to disguise themselves as "conservative".

I watched the documentary about the Hitler Youth program last night, very interesting. Like seeds to spread and infiltrate the world beyond for decades and decades.

Yes, yes, you have made it obvious the fear and loathing you have been instructed to hold for Hillary (beyond any provable, logical facts) . . . so much so that you accept wholeheartedly the joke that now presides.

Not you though, right? You would rather have BJ Clinton back in the white house with his criminal crime family foundation, pay to play, the country be damned. Of course.

Instead you prefer the Trump crime family with the Trump foundation that pays off Trumps own legal fees and settlements, buys him self portraits, one he never donates to? . . . and pay to play was the title of the Trump admin welcome letter. Every bad thing Obama and Hillary were accused of (but there never was any actual proof of) Trump does tenfold . . . and you cheer him on. Get real, we have our receivers on out here and pay attention.

My point exactly . . . whatever insanity you imagined about Hillary Trump actually does and well beyond what you ever imagined about Hillary. The depth of his criminality will continue to unfold.
