Cruz blames Biden for war in Ukraine.

I don't even know why Ted Cruz even bothers at this point. He'll never win the GOP Nomination. Trump's MAGA base doesn't fully trust or like him, and Trump made him look like the ***** he is when he insulted Cruz's wife (to his face), and said Cruz's father may have been involved with JFK's assassination...to which Cruz has done nothing but grovel at his feet for the past 5 years. If Trump croaks tomorrow, DeSantis will be the nominee by default and Cruz will still be a loser.

 

[Puigb]

Cruz hasn't a snow balls chance in hell. Anyone who would want him in WH needs a frontal lobotomy!

Whatever chance he had was destroyed in 2016 when Trump pissed all over him.

The GOP wants DeSantis, so if Trump croaks or doesn't run for whatever reason, DeSantis will be the nominee by default...and Cruz can't do anything about that.

....would not have happened if 9/11 had happened today and a Democrat had been President. In fact, the approval would be where it is for Biden now.

If a Democrat was president in 2001, especially Obama, the GOP would have never gotten behind him or any Democrat the way Democrats got behind Bush. It's always been party over everything else for the majority of them, even in 2001.

Again, Putin recently threatened, in so many words, nuclear Holocaust if we interfered in Ukraine. So your advocating risking nuclear Holocaust for Ukraine, right?

No, I’m asking why Biden said he was going to stop Putin if he wasn’t.

And why if it’s so obvious he wasn’t why no one pointed it out at the time.

 

[Crakhobarbie]

No, I’m asking why Biden said he was going to stop Putin if he wasn’t.

And why if it’s so obvious he wasn’t why no one pointed it out at the time.

Biden said that before Putin threatened nuclear Holocaust if we intervened in Ukraine. So let's try this AGAIN...... Do you now think that Biden should risk nuclear Holocaust to save Ukraine? Because when you incessantly complain that Bidens not Intervening in Ukraine when he claimed he would, it sounds like you would prefer the possibility of nuclear Holocaust. It's amazing how petty and infantile your moronic argument is.

It's amazing how petty and infantile your moronic argument is.

So, let me see if I have this right:

When Biden ran for President saying he was going to be tough on Putin he can’t be held to that because he had no way of knowing Putin would have nuclear weapons, so nothing should be made of Biden saying he was going to be tough on Putin. Even though he’s President, Commander in Chief of the US Military, etc. It’s just not that big of a deal.

However, on the other hand, it’s a pretty enormous deal that Ted Cruz said Biden should be doing something to stop Putin?

 

[Callen]

Some armchair quarterbacks with zero access to the actual facts seem to think dealing with a dictator with increasing paranoia and desire to return to the grand old days is an easy matter. Throw in his ready access to nuclear weapons and this is no game. Anyone here or any talking head that thinks they know how to best deal with Putin is just plain stupid.

When he as bragging about how he was going to handle Putin?

Wrong. Biden could not of foreseen Putin going crazy and threatening to go nuclear on us. So let me ask you again, is it you and Ted's contention that Biden should risk nuclear Holocaust by intervening in Ukraine? Which part of this question confuses you?

 

[RaleBulgarian]

Probably not. Cruz is famous for getting his facts straight. It's why he's an elite debater.

Cruz’ is a very skilled technical debater. Unfortunately for Cruz, his naturally off putting personality interferes with, and often exceeds, his words.

“In 1991, when the current GOP presidential hopeful was a junior at Princeton University, he was the victim of an "anyone but Ted Cruz" vote in the American Parliamentary Debate Association. It's a tale that has appeared in several lengthy looks at Cruz's early forays into the persuasive arts.”

“ … many fellow competitors found his zeal — a trademark to this day — more than a little off-putting. Zimmerman quoted former Johns Hopkins University debater Ted Niblock saying Cruz was a "scary, driven machine who fought a protracted, bloody land war for total victory" and won matches "in the most grinding, methodical, joyless way possible."

“And though Cruz wears his unpopularity in Washington as a badge of honor, it speaks to the difficulty he's likely to face in building alliances here and around the world should he be elected. He's not a guy you want to have a beer with. He's a guy you want to see punked.”

'Anyone but Ted Cruz' — will debaters' tale repeat itself?

Ted Cruz, while at Princeton, lost a bid to be president of American Parliamentary Debate Association, in another "anyone but Cruz" vote.

www.chicagotribune.com

And it certainly doesn’t reflect well on Cancun Ted that he was bested by arguably the worst prepared, most ignorant presidential candidate in American onstage and off, exposing him for the fake, completely insincere, coward that he is.

Since Cruz is one of the favorites to be the next President, you may really get to dislike him.

Other than you, who says Cruz is “one of the favorites to be the next President”? Name, and provide proof of any credible person or group that agrees with your delusional assessment.

 

[RaleBulgarian]

Have you forgotten that was proven untrue?

Really dumb lie.

“In the summer of 2019, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) withheld from obligation funds appropriated to the Department of Defense (DOD) for security assistance to Ukraine. In order to withhold the funds, OMB issued a series of nine apportionment schedules with footnotes that made all unobligated balances unavailable for obligation.

Faithful execution of the law does not permit the President to substitute his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law. OMB withheld funds for a policy reason, which is not permitted under the Impoundment Control Act (ICA). The withholding was not a programmatic delay. Therefore, we conclude that OMB violated the ICA.”

He's no coward, but he is someone who chooses his fight with care. It's what makes him such a good debater.

This is a statement by GAO. Do you have proof that there were actual delays?

Again, if this could be proven in anything resembling a court, it would have been used for the impeachment. It cannot be so proven.

Factually, Cruz is a coward.

None of your references supports your lie.

Correct. Not “a lie”. A really dumb lie.

Do you have a citation that shows what you are claiming? This one shows that they were set out for payment.

Find a literate person to read the citation from the GAO report, then ask that person to translate into language you can comprehend the finding of the investigation.

Trump insulted Cruz’ wife’s appearance and insinuated that his father was involved in JFK’s assassination off the debate stage. Factually, Cruz is a coward.

If you are going with flimsy like that, you deserve what you get.

None of your references supports your lie.

I said that Cruz was a front runner and that was four published articles naming Cruz as a front runner. You stand refuted.

Calling something a lie is is an ad hominem attack, ie an attack on the other person rather than the point under discussion. It usually indicates a weak position.

You are not very good at this.

I already covered the GAO but you did not respond to the counterpoint. In debate, that's known as dropping the point. You can go with dropping the ball if you feel better. Either way, you lose.
