Justin Amash: Why I Trust Ted Cruz

[phill4paul]

Yea.....I'm not apologizing for him dude. I'm just being real. Ted has been a pretty strong ally in pursuit of Audit the Fed. He failed to show up for the vote...but that causation doesn't equate to the correlation that you would like to make to score political hit points against him.

Him not showing up means....that he didn't show up. It doesn't mean his position has changed.

Political hit points? Lol. He had one job. To Senator. Running for the presidential nomination does not, should not, preclude ones elected position. As you pointed out, he co-sponsored the bill. If he cannot take the time to be present for a vote on a bill that he co-sponsored, representing his constituents, because he believes it will fail, is a signal to me that he really didn't stand behind it. His personal interest, running for POTUS, outweighed his elected position. And that only leaves me with the conviction that once he achieved POTUS that he would look to personal interest over his elected position.

First of all people are acting like he just endorsed Lindsay Graham or Marco Rubio. He endorsed Rand first and now that Rand is out he endorsed Cruz. Sorry he didn't support the glorious leader (Trump).

Justin Amash is allowed to have an opinion of who he thinks is better and I don't fault him for it because there isn't a clear best candidate available (like Ron or Rand).

Cruz also helped Justin when he was primaried in 2014. That's politics I guess.

 

[EBounding]

i'm sure this is some kind of strategy move we have yet to figure out....

I think it's simple. Ted endorsed Justin in 2014 and made ads and Justin's returning the favor.

Who has said anything about him not being allowed an opinion?

Some people just happen to have the opinion that his opinion on this is bad.

Sort of a i'll scratch your back if you scratch mine.

 

[euphemia]

I'm disappointed.

Remember Ron has endorsed some bad people too:

Remember, Ron Paul didn't endorse John McCain or Mitt Romney.
Remember, two wrongs don't make a right.

It is more irritating coming from you.

Is this a fake Cruz generated endorsement? Do we have Amash speaking to this endorsement?

On the other hand, there are moves to make sure there is a brokered convention! www.StillRanding.com is one site preparing and talking about plans to still nominate Rand, which has certain merits! Maybe Cruz will capitulate in the convention to the constitutional eligibility and ask all his delegates to go with Rand Paul!?

No doubt the Trumpet Buffoon is planning on throwing to Jeb and making the phone call on the floor to get Jeb the nomination, similar to the Perot plan to throw to King George or to Bill! Trumpet is up to the same strategy!

It is of the deepest strategy only when what??? WHEN THE FED EXISTENCE HANGS IN THE BALANCE! Then it is FED vs. Anti-FED!

Paul vs. un-Paul!

Never forget the biggest picture of all!

There's not going to be a brokered convention, not the way the votes are currently going. No front runner that has won both SC and NH has ever went on to lose the nomination and even if there were a brokered convention, the establishment hacks would just give the nod to Bush, Cruz or Rubot.

Some people just happen to have the opinion that his opinion on this is bad.

That's fine but insulating that he's a traitor, supports carpet bombing or has been in Washington too long is a bit far, but that's just my opinion.

This is nothing like the "incumbent protection plan" and you know it.

Rand considered voting for both of those up until the last minute. At one point he was in favor of the TPP. Your comment seems pretty absurd, both because issues like the TPA and TPP aren't clear at all from a liberty perspective, but also because it's beyond ridiculous to advocate throwing people in prison just because they vote differently than you want them to vote.

Sounds like you have some homework to do. Go do your research and come back and tell me that after you do. Until then, pffftt.

Too simple.

All it takes is a less than majority on first vote. That is the course the race is currently on unless one of the top, soon drops and allows voters to alter the course. The least control from the top down is precisely when there is no majority on first vote. It is then that the actual delegates realize their power and can either vote their personal choice or start pimping for big time perks... a real headache and complicated for the party and convention. There are not enough mafia types on the floor at the end of a delegate election process to carry out a good top down control. That is the nightmare scenario for the party!
