The Sad Plight Of Senator Cruz

Senator Cruz (R-TX).

When it comes to the former President, Senator Cruz (R-TX) is soon to find himself in quite a quandary. For those who don’t recall, Cruz first despised Trump upon his entry into the GOP Presidential primary in 2016, calling him a coward and pathological liar. Trump, however, returned fire, and when it became apparent that Trump would win the GOP nomination, he changed his tune, despite Trump’s frenzied attacks on Cruz’s wife and father.

He was gentled by Trump.

Since then, if he’s criticized Trump, it’s not been to any great extent. Rather, he’s considered an ally, with a TrumpScore of 92%.

The weasel smile.

Leaping forward to, oh, today, Cruz finds himself allies with a man who is alleged to have broken the law, as well as the public’s trust, over the matter of nuclear weapons. If such documents were found, and we may find that out later today, Cruz may gain a reputation as having been gentled by a criminal. We may find out, at a later date, that Trump was trying to sell nuclear secrets, much like the Rosenbergs – who were executed for their crimes. Such is his known passion for wealth.

And Cruz has his own known passion for power. He’s reportedly despised, in some cases even hated, by a bipartisan majority of the Senate.

We may be in the middle of a morality play, in which the value of putative social norms, such as temperance in connection to the pursuit of wealth and power, and a conscious and sober regard for the well-being of society, will get a well-needed boost. Not that those who need to learn those lessons the most will pay it more than lip-service, if that, but there’s value in the vast bulk of the population getting a good, swift kick upside the head as more than one of the elite conservatives take the long, agonizing fall into ignominy and social loathing. It may turn into a question of how many comrades will accompany Cruz into Hell.

At least, that’s where this is going. Next time Cruz runs for anything, he’ll be facing deep and searching questions concerning his relationship with the former President.
