I bet Cruz is working on the angle to blame the democrats for the Cancun ticket prices and also for posting such a thoughtless tweet

There's a saying ... 'Birds of a feather ...' They elect those that agree with their thinking. The real question is: why are so many imbeciles walking the planet.

Another complete fail by Cruz. Not doing a thing to help this marine get released and then trying to claim credit after he is released. Family of former Marine freed from Russian custody rejects Ted Cruz's claim he helped get him home: 'We are not appreciative' https://www.businessinsider.com/father-of-marine-released-russia-ted-cruz-didnt-do-anything-2022-5 Sen. Ted Cruz expressed public relief that US citizen Trevor Reed was released from Russian prison. Reed's father was not "appreciative" of Cruz's lack of action in helping to free his son. A family spokesperson told Insider Cruz could've used his influence to speak to former President Trump. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz "didn't do anything" to aide in former Marine Trevor Reed's release from Russian custody, according to Reed's father, Joey Reed. Trevor Reed was detained in Moscow in 2019 after being convicted of attacking Russian police.He reportedly suffered during his stay in a Russian prison, including getting a broken rib and catching COVID-19. He was released on April 27 as part of a prisoner exchange between Russia and the US. Reed was swapped for Konstantin Yaroshenko, a Russian pilot sentenced for drug smuggling. "He didn't do anything," Joey Reed said of Cruz in an interview with The Dallas Morning News."He's an embarrassment to the state of Texas, let me just say that. I don't care what or who runs against him, I will work for their campaign to defeat that son of a bitch." Joey Reed was so dissatisfied with Cruz' actions surrounding his son that when Cruz called to congratulate them after publicly showing support for his son's release, the elder Reed said he asked "where have you been for the last two and a half years?" "I hit him point-blank: 'We are not appreciative,'" Reed told the News. "They don't need celebratory tweets or phone calls," Jonathan Franks, a spokesperson for the Reeds told Insider. "When their loved one has been released, they need tweets and phone calls when their loved ones are in jail." Reed called Cruz asking for help years prior, but Cruz's staff said he couldn't speak out about their son's detainment publicly because the senator was an "enemy of Putin," Reed said. Franks told Insider the call between the Reeds and Cruz's staff member was "unfortunate" and that the senator had not called to check in again until Trevor's release. Franks also emphasized that it was not a partisan attack — rather, the family wanted to emphasize that Cruz's outsized influence in the world of politics could have been beneficial to the family's fight. "Particularly when Trump was president, it would've helped a lot if Ted Cruz had picked up the phone and called the President and said 'bring this kid home."' Franks told Insider. "We were almost there. Like he could have picked up the phone called Trump and told him to make a deal. " Franks told Insider that he could not confirm if Cruz had made such an action privately without the family's knowledge. Cruz said he did not speak out partly because administration officials told him it could be "counterproductive" because he had been so against Russia's proposed Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, he told the News in a statement. Joey Reed told the News that Texas GOP Rep. Michael McCaul also publicly went against the Nord Stream and had still been a vocal advocate for Trevor's release. Representatives for Cruz did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Well Cruz has the basic thinking right... but sort of failed in delivering his lines in the best way. The media just quotes he has Donald Trump tattooed on his butt. Maybe little Ted will have the balls some day to defend his wife against Donald Trump's attacks. 'I have 'Donald Trump' tattooed on my rear end!' Ted Cruz mocks Republicans while stumping for Mo Brooks in Alabama https://www.businessinsider.com/ted-cruz-breaks-with-trump-stumps-for-mo-brooks-2022-5 Ted Cruz showed up to stump for his GOP colleague Mo Brooks in Alabama on Monday. In his speech, Cruz mocked Republican primary candidates for professing "their allegiance" to Trump. 'I love Donald Trump! No, no, no, I love Donald Trump even more. No, no, I have Donald Trump tattooed on my rear end!" Cruz joked. While campaigning for congressman Mo Brooks in Alabama, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz appeared to mock other members of the GOP who have professed their "allegiance" to Trump in their primary races. Cruz showed up at a town hall event with Brooks on Monday, coming out strongly in support of the congressman in Brooks' Alabama Senate primary race. "Here's my philosophy when it comes to Republican primaries. I support the strongest conservative who can win," Cruz said. "We're not tilting at windmills. We're fighting to save the country." "Have you noticed in a Republican primary that every candidate in the primary comes before you and beats their chest?" Cruz said. "They say, 'I'm the most conservative soul that ever lived!' Just once, I'd love to see a Republican primary candidate stand up and say, you know, 'I'm a moderate establishment squish. I stand for nothing whatsoever,'" Cruz added. "That would at least be refreshingly candid and honest if they said that." "And when it comes to Donald Trump, every Republican candidate on earth professes their allegiance to President Trump: 'I love Donald Trump! No, no, no, I love Donald Trump even more. No, no, I have Donald Trump tattooed on my rear end!'" Cruz joked. He criticized these Republicans for not "(walking) the walk" while lauding Brooks for, in his opinion, having the "strongest conservative record in the Alabama primary." Brooks thanked Cruz for his support, tweeting: "Senator Cruz's message was clear: our country is at stake, and if you want a proven conservative warrior fighting for you in the Senate, there's one choice, Mo Brooks. I'd be honored to have your vote tomorrow." Cruz's strong support of Brooks came just days after former President Donald Trump once again slammed Brooks on his social media platform, Truth Social. Trump wrote a post on Sunday, citing an article by the Alabama Political Reporter that said Brooks' campaign mailers were still bearing Trump's rescinded endorsement months after it was withdrawn. "CAN'T DO THAT MO!" Trump wrote in response to the article. Cruz throwing his weight behind Brooks also significantly diverges from Trump's established stance on the congressman. In contrast, the former president appeared to have bailed on Brooks entirely when he rescinded his endorsement in March, saying the congressman "went woke" on the 2020 election for encouraging voters to look forward toward the next election rather than back at the 2020 election. The pulling of the endorsement in March came after close to a week of what seemed like mulling on Trump's part on whether or not to back Brooks while the congressman slumped in the polls. A week before pulling the endorsement, Trump called Brooks "disappointing" and wondered if the former congressman had "changed." "When I endorsed Mo Brooks, he took a 44-point lead and was unstoppable. He then hired campaign staff who 'brilliantly' convinced him to 'stop talking about the 2020 election.' He listened to them. Then, according to the polls, Mo's 44-point lead totally evaporated," Trump said in his statement pulling his endorsement, once again referencing baseless claims that the election was stolen from him in favor of President Joe Biden. Until the endorsement was pulled, Brooks had been known as a staunch Trump ally. Brooks is now surging in the polls in Alabama months after Trump rescinded his endorsement — and amid a series of high-profile Trump endorsement flops.
