Sen. Ted Cruz is not “all that conservative,” says Sen. Ted Cruz.
The Texas Republican and tea party favorite made the unexpected remarks to Jewish donors in New York City, according to the New York Observer.
He said: “I don’t think I’m all that conservative. And it’s interesting. Reagan never once beat his chest and said ‘I’m the most conservative guy who ever lived.’ Reagan said, ‘I’m defending common sense principles—small businesses, small towns.’”
Cruz also met privately with Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson, whom the Observer reported found the Texan to be “too right wing” and unlikely to win the 2016 presidential nomination, citing an anonymous source.

Too conservative for Sheldon Adelson? Seriously?
Wrong set of issues. Cruz is a populist demagogue for the TP, who love to do crazy and stupid things to the economy…that’s not something Adelson is on board with.
Now, if Cruz wants to make gambling a tax exempt business while invading the Middle East to expand the Jewish territories as his God intended…then they can have a lovely sit down.
What? Shelly doesn’t trust Teddy? Therein lies the rub Teddy.

Why?
Because…

Mystery solved.
