I know politics ain't been bag. Politicians will say some tough things to each other during a primary or an election. But, aren't some things just unforgivable?
Donald Trump chose a nick name for you. Lyin' Ted. Perhaps that's not a deal breaker in supporting your party's nominee after being defeated in the primaries. I understand that.
Then, he accused you of being in bed with the investment banks that ruined our economy in 2008 because your wife Heidi had some mid level job with Goldman-Sachs. Put aside that the hypocritical shit head, Donald Trump, hired Goldman Sachs executives to his cabinet. He attacked your wife.
OK. That's politics, you say. I may not have been able to forgive him for those personal attacks on me and my family, but I'm not in the rarified air of national politics.
But, please, Senator Cruz, how could you overlook the juvenile Trump tweet that depicted your wife in an unflattering picture, next to his glamourous, super model wife in a professional photo, with the caption "whose husband would you rather be?" That's a bridge too far for even the most devoted party loyalist.
But, even after all of that humiliating political garbage thrown at you, Donald Trump topped them all. He said that your father was involved in the Kennedy assassination because of his Cuban heritage. Let me repeat that, THE FUCKING KENNEDY ASSIASINATION.
Are you fucking kidding me? A man who will not stand up for his own family. His own loved ones. His own flesh and blood, is the epitome of a coward, and of the lowest character. How can anyone, Senator Cruz, expect that you will stand up for Texas or this country, when you bow and scrape to a piece of shit like Donald Trump who personally and publicly insulted you, your wife and your father?
You, Senator Cruz, have no moral compass and are the worst form of coward serving this nation.
