Ted Cruz with a respectable statement:

Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz

I urge the Department of Justice to immediately investigate and prosecute this grotesque act of domestic terrorism.

McCain: "American patriots of all colors and creeds must come together to defy those who raise the flag of hatred and bigotry."

McCain right twice in like a 2 week window.

Bravo.



I see you, Ted. Good shit.

(how sad is it to have to applaud simply saying or doing the most right, most obvious thing? there's absolutely nothing even remarkable about this statement other than the fact that a Republican made it.)

As much as I dislike Ted Cruz, and boy do I dislike him, I'd take him over Trump right now. I didn't think it was possible to prefer Cruz over anyone else but here we are.

Any resource devoted to investigating domestic right wing white supremacist terrorism is a resource not investigating the true identity of the Zodiac Killer.

I remember back in the primaries people would think others were crazy for preferring Cruz over Trump.

I wonder if they still think that way.

You say that at this very moment, but Cruz would potentially be more than competent enough to actually get shit done, and I mean that in the worst way imaginable.

Cruz would be like Pence. They're both Christian Talibans in the making.

But like Pence, he wouldn't be running his mouth off like crazy, or clearly sleep in the same bed as Nazis. That's where Trump pulls ahead of being the most evil.

Rip to the person who died. Trump still failing at not being transparent.

Guys remember when Hillary gave that speech about how Trump was a racist POS running an explicitly racist campaign and warned us about the so-called alt-right
Aren't they all about not being PC too? She was definitely telling it like it is.

It was clear for everyone to see anyways, and even so... 😧
 
Ted Cruz getting it right just shows how badly Trump fucked up what should be the most simple of responses to get out. Because he is a White Supremacist with zero empathy, he can't even get this right.

That's how truly low the bar has sunk with this Administration.

Dunno, is there even a bar right now? I feel like it has been sucked into another universe at this point and failing to clear the bar requires a lot of effort in the wrong direction.

Cruz is a giant POS, but he's smart enough to know that even if he's benefited from this type of people before, he doesn't want to be publicly associated with them. Trump isn't even that smart.

And they (the alt-right) are unbelievably butthurt to this day over being called "deplorable". They obsess over any perceived slight, whilst throwing out horrid insults casually and not caring. The hundreds of different insults they levelled at Clinton, yet they hold up her calling them that as "proof the left are the bad guys!!!!!" or whatever.

The ultimate in self-centered obsession. Zero self-awareness, in fact self-awareness is actively suppressed.

Holy shit, he's actually calling for action.

We'll see, but until then keep protesting and keep the pressure so there's actually action.

He's calling for Jeff Sessions' DoJ to investigate this. That's like asking the cookie monster to investigate the case of the missing cookies.

It feels like the gop are coming out of the woodwork to make Trump look even worse.

They already got Gorsuch, they won't get Obamacare repeal, tax reform is mostly a nonstarter, and they have to raise the debt ceiling.

There's not much left for them to get out of Trump.

If you caught feelings from Hillary saying "Deplorable" It's because you're fucking deplorable. These are the nazi/confederate flag worshiping fucks she was talking about.

I consider all of then unfathomable, but Trump is in all his bluster, is a lazy incompetent and their policy agenda is suffering because of it.

Cruz is saying prettier words right now, during a moment when saying the right thing should be so fucking easy, which is yet another reason why he's probably more dangerous than Trump, at least when it comes to fulfilling Conservative agendas.

Trump is CONSTANTLY shooting himself, and the Republican party, in the foot.
 
Ted Cruz being president would be infinitely worse because he's actually competent at politics, don't kid yourself here by his extended olive branch, he just sees an opportunity to take power

Fuck Ted Cruz, and the rest of the GOP for that matter. Talk is cheap. Stop carrying water for the neo-Nazis in the White House and then we can talk.

Yup. Cruz is young enough to run in 2024. He'll disagree with Trump every chance he can in ways the traditional republican base and moderates would support him.
 
Talk is fucking cheap, and we couldn't even get that much from trump. But then again his father was a member of the KKK so I'm sure he's a personal fan.

Then we keep at it and if they don't, they're gone next year. Hell, this would be a good rallying cry. You aren't doing anything about the Nazis? Your ass is out.

Hell Cruz' seat is up for re-election this year. Would be a shame if he lost it...

Fuck Ted Cruz, talk is cheap, but he did at least say what he said.


If anything, the various GOPers strongly condemning this is showing their divide from Trump. The Republican Party fucked up soooo badly in letting Trump getting the nomination. Imagine if they had a seasoned politician leading them? Terrifying.
