Ted Cruz Claims Media Is Exclusively 'Partisan Liberal Democrats'

If you're Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), you know that you have some real problems. Donald Trump has enlightened the electorate of your birthplace/citizenship issues and some rather delicate entanglements with his 2012 campaign and his wife's former employer, Goldman Sachs. But you are the self-assured son of a proselytizing preacher who is very skilled at deflecting and distracting those who dare to bring up such matters, while allocating blame exclusively on liberal politics and media.

On Media Buzz, with Howie Kurtz, Cruz referenced St. Ronnie almost immediately and boasted that he relies on informing the electorate directly, without a liberal, Democratic filter.

CRUZ: That's why we're building and running a grassroots campaign to go around the media gatekeepers.

Cruz quickly dismissed any controversy with his loans for the 2012 campaign, the New York Times unfairly nitpicking that he failed to disclose these loans on two separate forms. He calls the story a total nothing-burger.

As far as the New York values controversy, Cruz is eager to rehash the political opinions expressed by Donald Trump in the 1990's where he was pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, in other words, pro-New York values. Kurtz explains that efforts to expose Trump's more liberal views from two decades ago haven't seemed to hurt Trump's ratings one iota.
