Why do I say Ted Cruz is the CLEAR front-runner for the first GOP nomination race after Trump (I assume Trump runs in 2024 of course, so I mean in 2028)
Do not think about this RATIONALLY like a Democrat
Think Maga
Ted Cruz Thread 2/

Ted Cruz is hated by everybody
All Republicans hate him
His wife hates him
His kids hate him
His dog hates him
His mom hates him
His dad ran away to go kill JFK, just to get away from Ted
That Thing infesting his face? Hates him
Even Ted Cruz hates Ted Cruz
Cruz Thread 4/
How can a man, UNIVERSALLY HATED incl ALL FACTIONS inside his OWN PARTY - be the GOP front-runner
Do not think of this rationally. Do not think like a Democrat
You have to put your mind into magamode
Think like a Repulsican
Ask: What would Gohmert do?

I need to do an analogy for us. About weather
Someone, anyone? can you fetch me Al Roker?
No? Ok, does anybody have a competent weather forecaster for us?
Ok, you, Mr tiny-hands, you will do. Make room for our substitute weatherman, the dude with the sharpie...

If you go camping on an overnight trip and it is sunny today, but the weather forecast says it will rain tomorrow morning
will you pack your rubber boots?
of course you will
HOLD THIS THOUGHT
Cruz Thread 7/
Ted Cruz is a smart politician (even though he is slime, he is smart, he knows how the GOP Presidential nomination race works - he came in SECOND in 2016)
Ted KNEW that Trump will end up in prison
Like you knew the weather forecast promises rain for tomorrow
Cruz Thread 8/
Ted Cruz is the ONLY viable GOP Presidential nominee who NEVER said a bad word about Trump, starting at the July 2016 GOP Convention
Not once. Cruz has just kept on kissing Trump's ass
Cruz HATES Trump & Trump hates Cruz
but Cruz kept kissing his ass
Cruz Thread 9/
Compare to ALL OTHER potential GOP nominees
ALL OF THEM
Have had a 'brave moment' to tell the truth - disagree with Trump, some more meekily than others
Chris Christie
Sen Lindsey Graham
Mike Pence
Romney
Nikki Haley
John Kasich
Gov Death Santis
Marco Rubio
etc
Cruz Thread 10/
The ONLY one who never once said Trump was wrong (ever since the 2016 July GOP convention) was Rafael #CancunCruz
He has publically taken grandstanding positions to 'support' Trump including his promise to argue Trump's case in front of Supreme Court

REMEMBER THE WEATHER FORECAST. The Rubber Boots
Cruz KNEW Trump goes to prison. Sooner or later. When Trump is done, there will be a vacuum. The NEXT GOP nomination race will be open, and THEN... it belongs to Ted Cruz
..because..
Cruz Thread 12/
Because Cruz knows TV debates. He will CRUSH the opposition who claim to be protecting Trump's legacy, by pointing out WHAT that opponent once said, when Trump was vulnerable
But Chris, didn't you say
But Lindsey, when you wrote
But Nikki, didn't you also say
Cruz Thread 13/
Ted Cruz knows as long as Trump is there, Trump wins the GOP nomination, and Cruz will step aside, not challenge him
WEATHER FORECAST: BOOTS
Cruz is playing for the rainy morning, boots. He is preparing to be 'only pure Trumpist' then, when Trump is in PRISON
Cruz Thread 14/
There will be a RISING tide of 'Never Again Trump' wing in GOP at that time. That space is HEAVILY CONTESTED, with many viable candidates from John Kasich to Romney to Liz Cheney
And many try to go both ways, like Chris Christie, #LeningradLindsey & Nikki Haley
Cruz Thread 15/
Ted Cruz knows, the KNOCK-OUT GAME starts in the debates. His team will release videos of Cruz's strongest rivals, one by one, before a given debate, where that rival 'betrayed Trump'
And Cruz then skewers the rival as a traitor in the debate
Cruz Thread 16/
This is the way, in the 2027-2028 GOP nomination debate season, that Ted Cruz eliminates rivals for the 'Trump Maga wing' of the GOP nomination fight
And emerges as clear front-runner to take GOP 2028 nomination (then selects Nikki Haley or Condi Rice as his VP)
Cruz Thread 17/
If you are a Democrat, remember GOP primaries are winner-take-all races
No matter how insane we see the maganutters, even when Trump is sent to prison, a part of GOP will want Trumpism. They cannot extinguish it in a few years. Maybe a decade
Cruz = frontrunner
Cruz Thread 18/
Of course as Cruz is America's most hated politician, he will lose in his general election (in 2028, giving us President Kamala Harris)
Wanna silver lining? When Trump is in prison in 2028, Trump will insist his followers WRITE IN TRUMP instead of voting for Ted

On Monday Judge Chutkan in DC (Jack Smith 2) case will hold a hearing about putting a gag order on Herr Hezbollah, the nation's Terrorist-In-Chief. Trump was under protective order. He breached it many times. So this is now his 'final warning'
Let's do a Thread
GAG ORDER THREAD/2
Don't look at me like that! This is JUSTICE. It is EXACTLY the same legal standard that would apply to you and me. Nothing more, nothing less. Trump is a FIRST TIME OFFENDER; has NEVER been convicted of any crime (yet). He was put on a 'protective order' FIRST
GAG ORDER THREAD/3
Then Trump repeatedly broke that protective order. We WITNESSED IT LIVE on TV and on social media, REPEATEDLY
But the Judge CANNOT do anything about it. Until she is FORMALLY told by the prosecution. She CANNOT do anything yet. It would be same for you and me
We certainly feel it was taking too long. In reality this is about par for the course, in some ways FASTER than normal, for such a large criminal conspiracy. Timing is similar to Watergate
FIRST of PLANNERS of Jan 6 go to trial, in Georgia in two weeks !!!
So January 6th, 2021 was two years and 9 months ago. Over 1,000 of the violent mob have been caught, over half prosecuted, and prison sentences for those running up to more than a decade in prison. That is justice
The ORGANIZERS of the Jan 6th plot are Trump, the Seditious Six..
The ORGANIZERS of Jan 6 are
Trump
Seditious Six (Giuliani, Flynn etc)
Evil Eleven of Congress (Gosar, Gym, Gaetz etc)
and a handful others (Roger Stone, Bannon etc)
They are ALL CAUGHT
Jack Smith STARTED to prosecute the organizers. Look who he has as WITNESSES to this crime
Trump calls Hezbollah "very smart" for their terrorist attack? Same Senile Man called Putin smart for invading Ukraine. And called murdering dictators MBS and Kim Jong Un smart
Meanwhile Trump has called HIS OWN CABINET and HIS OWN GENERALS idiots & stupid
General Mattis: Trump's not mature, a 5th grader
General McMaster: he's a dope, kindergartner idiot
Colonel Esper: irresponsible
General Milley: crazy
General Hytin: an idiot
General Kelly: Trump's crazy, an unhinged idiot
Next...
Then let's ask Trump White House staff, people Trump selected:
VP Pence: Trump is reckless
CoS 1 Priebus: he's an idiot
CoS 2 (Kelly, in above)
CoS 3 Mulvaney: terrible human being, a clown show
CoS 4 Meadows: Trump is worthless
SoS Tillerson: he's a fucking moron
Trump was massively embarrassed in New York, and that trial still continues. But this incident (Trump sitting in NY court for 3 days and then bailed) exposes insight into how incredibly stupid, and self-destructive Trump is
Let's do a Thread
New York New York Thread /2
So what happened? Trump sat in the civil trial - he is NOT required to be there (he must attend all criminal trials which start in March 2024). He feuded with the judge, got hit with a gag order, then stormed out of New York. Let's see how dumb it was
New York New York Thread /3
Donald the Duck McTrump's whole brand is based on the carefully constructed fake illusion, that he is somehow a 'billionaire'. WE know he is not. That Trump is a fake, a con-artist, living on other people's money. But his SUPPORTERS believe that lie
What happens next? The House cannot conduct any other business until it has selected a new House Speaker. The GOP is in civil war. It may be chaos for a while. Most likely they find a suitable Republican Speaker
DEMs do not have votes for DEM Speaker
BUT DEMs could make a deal
If a slice of Republicans (as few as 6) ally with DEMs, then that alliance could select (a Republican) speaker
Realistically the most logical such choice is an EX House Republican, like Liz Cheney
Because of GOP civil war, DEMs have leverage now
This is the deal I suggest:
DEMs make deal for ANY Republican who they can trust (like Liz Cheney, Kinzinger) where promise is 2 House Votes every week. One vote on legislation provided by GOP, the other vote legislation provided by DEMs. Both will get a floor vote each week
With Friday's bombshell news in court filing by Jack Smith of 3 more prosecution witnesses - now just about as big as they come - let's do a Thread about the flippers in Trump's life, the rats who all testify under oath, in criminal courts, against Trump
Flipper Thread/2
Trump committed an act of insurgency against America. That word is rarely used. The legal EFFECT is the same as 'treason'. Trump committed a crime which is essentially as bad as treason
So who does Jack Smith have as a witness? Trump's OWN Attorney General Barr
Flipper Thread/3
Bill Barr was not just the nation's top lawyer, as Attorney General, when this plot was first hatched - Barr learned of the idea - and TOLD TRUMP IT IS ILLEGAL. That is what Barr will testify under oath. That Trump KNEW this plot is illegal
