Inside Ted Cruz's last-ditch battle to keep Trump in power

[douglas9]

Sen. Ted Cruz was dining near the Capitol on the evening of Dec. 8, 2020, when he received an urgent call from President Donald Trump. A lawsuit had just been filed at the Supreme Court designed to overturn the election Trump had lost, and the president wanted help from the Texas Republican.

“Would you be willing to argue the case?” Trump asked Cruz, as the senator later recalled it.

“Sure, I’d be happy to” if the court granted a hearing, Cruz said he responded.

The call was just one step in a collaboration that for two months turned the once-bitter political enemies into close allies in the effort to keep Trump in the White House based on the president’s false claims about a stolen election. By Cruz’s own account, he was “leading the charge” to prevent the certification of Joe Biden as president.

Wow - the Republican assclown debases himself over and over and over. What a waste of a lifetime.

2. He called his wife ugly and accused his dad of assassinating Kennedy, yet Cruz jumps at the

chance to argue Trump's bullshit case before the Supreme Court? Ted is a soulless, conniving sycophant.

And we can all be rid of him.
