Senator Cruz (R-TX).<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

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<\/strong><\/em> Presidential primary in 2016, calling him a coward and pathological liar<\/a>. Trump, however, returned fire, and when it became apparent that Trump would win the GOP<\/em><\/strong> nomination, he changed his tune, despite Trump’s frenzied attacks on Cruz’s wife and father.<\/p>\n

He was gentled by Trump.<\/em><\/p>\n

Since then, if he’s criticized Trump, it’s not been to any great extent. Rather, he’s considered an ally, with a TrumpScore<\/em><\/a> of 92%.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The weasel smile.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Leaping forward to, oh, today<\/strong>, 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<\/strong><\/a>. 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<\/strong>. We may find out, at a later date, that Trump was trying to sell nuclear secrets, much like the Rosenbergs<\/a> – who were executed for their crimes. Such is his known passion for wealth.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
