Cruz: Hunter Biden attacks don't move 'a single voter'

Source: The Hill

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) says he doesn't think that President Trump's attacks on Hunter Biden will move even one voter.

Cruz told Jonathan Swan of Axios in an interview that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's "best moment" in the Oct. 22 debate came when he brushed off Trump's attacks on his family and turned to the camera to tell viewers that their families matter more.

"One of Biden's best points was when he said all these attacks back and forth about my family and [Trump's] family, they don't matter. What matters is your family. That may have been Biden's best moment, actually," Cruz said.

Asked to clarify his view that attacks on Hunter Biden haven't been effective, Cruz replied: "I don't think it moves a single voter."

Except for the not so little issue of don jr, who will sweep him right off the radar.

The gop is the party of the trumps. That won't change with a loss next tuesday. It will only get stronger and more consolidated as they wash away any traitors and villains from within. Purity first after all. Purity to the trump family over all.

Cruz was right! Funny when Putin said he saw nothing wrong with it!

Also just heard the Lincoln Project signed with a media company. Take on Fox?

IF Biden wins, it will be non-stop Hunter Hunter Hunter for at least the first year of his term. Until they find some new invented scandal that works better on their flock of MAGAts.

When Trump's spawn Javanka, Uday and Qusay flaunt their questionable business dealings, it's hard to judge Biden's kid. That wasn't a winning strategy from the start. Only a megalomaniac like Trump would think that such a thing was a brilliant idea.

Unleash the Krakken, I say! Start by indicting the first 3 kids for racketeering, money laundering and outright FEC violations for stealing Inauguration Day $ (geez, they started thieving right from the get go). Next, invalidate all of Princess Ivanka's Chinese granted trademarks and seize all her products. Charge that idiot Jr. with illegal hunting acts and bringing illegal pelts into the US

Goal: tie them up in court, the Senate and House (multiple investigations) for years. Get them to spend all their ill-gotten gains on lawyers, depositions, court appearances and expected large $ judgments. Make their lives miserable with Hatch Act violations, theft of government funds (illegal trips, food, entertainment, etc.). Have the NYS officials in on every conversation and Federal subpoena to make 100% sure no NYS tax evasion scheme goes unnoticed.

And all this......is just for starters!

There will be an unbelievable amount of work to do rebuilding every part of government after tRump's trashing of it, starting with finding competent people.

The healthcare system needs work, even if the Supreme Court doesn't kill Obamacare.

Our elections need help, starting with election security that Moscow Mitch refused to address.

Furthermore, by holding hearings on tRump and his spawn we'd be keeping their names and faces in the media and they'll be able to keep playing the victim card. By letting the appropriate state AG's and law enforcement do their thing the tRump family won't be getting nearly as much free TV time (until they're indicted).

Trump out of any kind of a jam.

To me the worst of them all is Christi. Hitching to Trump's star is a looong shot.

it's probably resulted in more votes for Biden.
Anyone who has more than half a brain can see how unfavorably Eric and Don Jr. hold up in a comparison with Hunter Biden. Compared to those two, Hunter is a saint.
Only the Trump base is buying into this shit, and they are already voting for Trump.

The whole thing is basically a NO SALE for Trump.

For calling his wife "ugly". Beto missed a huge opportunity by not attacking Cruz's 'manhood'. Ted "Punching Bag" Cruz may be right about Hunter Biden, but I really don't care what he says.

Congrats Lone Star absolutely amazing numbers of youth voters and early voting. If we get a blue Texas...a bright future for America will soon follow!
