Cruz will fly to Dallas with Obama on Air force one

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

In a dramatic display of bipartisan unity after a horrific tragedy, Ted Cruz will accompany President Barack Obama aboard Air Force One to Dallas on Tuesday, the Texas senator's office said.

Cruz and Obama have long been bitter ideological rivals, with Cruz leading the charge to try to defund Obama's signature health care law and tank his immigration proposals — Cruz even confronted Obama personally about Obamacare in 2013. But the shooting deaths of five police officers in Dallas are bringing the president and conservative star together in the name of national togetherness.

Texas's other senator, Majority Whip John Cornyn, will also attend the memorial event on Tuesday, but is scheduled to arrive earlier than the president and will not fly on Air Force One.

"We thanked them very much and said give me a raincheck," Cornyn said. "This is something he’s good at. We’re glad to have him, we appreciate the gesture on his part."

Chris here folks;




I watched his stump campaign talk over and over looking for a way in to discredit him,and after watching rerun after rerun after rerun I began to see him standing before the crowds of people in a funny looking bath robe. I know,I know,some people see me and the Goodyear blimp as one in the same.

1. Count the silverware before Cruz leaves the plane. nt

[cstanleytech]

33. Actually I was thinking they should consider doing a cavity search of Cruz before he boards

the plane just to be safe and also before he deplanes to make sure he doesnt leave any shit at all behind.

[C_U_L8R]

2. Our President is full of grace and goodness

whereas I might not have a problem if the AF1 doors
opened up somewhere between Chattanooga and Tuscaloosa.

[liberal N proud]

3. That is a privilege that would not provided if the roles were reversed

[rustbeltvoice]

4. Barack Obama is gracious to a fault.

[Saviolo]

5. "conservative star" ...?

Is Cruz still a conservative star? I figured that his name would be more or less mud after crumbling to Trump in the primary.

Ugh, thinking of Cruz makes my skin crawl, and I feel bad that Obama has to put up with sharing space on an aircraft with him.

[niyad]

6. how much to have the plane deloused afterwards?

[calimary]

25. I recommend a smudging ceremony with sacred sage.

To cleanse and purify.

[niyad]

46. and salt!!

[NoMoreRepugs]

7. please make him sit in one of the bathrooms for the flight

[BeyondGeography]

8. Cornyn: "This is something he's good at."

And your meaningful skill is what, exactly?

[Lance Bass esquire]

9. Cruz will lose his seat over this.

Remember what happened to Charlie Crist?

[Paladin]

15. Wrong (unfortunately). (nt)

[RandySF]

10. Once again showing that Obama is always the adult in the room.

11. dog cage?

[LongtimeAZDem]

12. Reminds me of The West Wing

BARTLET
Tell the press now I'm flying out tomorrow.

C.J.
What about Senator Vinick? It's his home state. We always invite the senators
to join you for disaster trips.

WILL
Have we ever had a situation where one's a major-Party nominee?

C.J.
And if we take Vinick, do we take Santos? Maybe we're better off...

BARTLET
Vinick's the senator from California; He's on the plane if he wants to be.

[iandhr]

13. Yup

[TeamPooka]

14. The only way Cruz will ever ride in AF1 is if a POTUS gives him a ride. nt

[uhnope]

16. perhaps a sign of a national bipartisan dialogue finally. nt

[Sand Rat Expat]

48. Wouldn't hold my breath.

Even if Cruz does see the light after a long heart to heart with Obama, he could never convince the rest of the GOP, and he certainly couldn't convince Trump's acolytes. Having lost to Trump, Cruz's opinion is a devalued currency. Always assuming it ever had any value, but you know what I mean.

This is a gracious invitation on our President's part, and political theater on Cruz's part. I have zero doubt of it.

[glennward]

17. Has there ever been a more gracious President?

I think Bill Clinton was pretty gracious even in the face of some horrible attacks...long before Monica.

[sofa king]

18. Air Force One to be Fumigated on Wednesday

[bullwinkle428]

19. I'm thinking of the old joke where the guy confuses a backpack for a parachute!

[BumRushDaShow]

20. Perfect power play

regarding who's in charge and who is not. Cruz got to experience his lost opportunity thanks to the orange loon who could manipulate the media better than him.

[Skittles]

21. fuck that gun humping piece of shit

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

24. Chris here

Yea, that good for nothing tea humping hangs out in the dorm hall ways in a funny looking bathrobe looking like jack the ripper.!

And if he does the famous Christie hug on the tar mac, I'm really going to go ballistic first public chance I get !

The Christie famous hug- patent pending !

[Skittles]

30. OMG

this is so wrong

[bluestateguy]

22. He can sit in coach

nt

[TlalocW]

23. Let's not forget Clinton extended the same courtesy to Newt

And Newt threw a hissy-fit because he didn't like where he had to sit.

Cruz isn't any more emotionally mature than Gingrich so I wouldn't be surprised if he complains about something.

TlalocW

[calimary]

26. YES. Let's not forget that.

EXCELLENT point. Class, versus CRASS.

[Jerry442]

28. Look for the headline: "Obama shows no respect to Senator Cruz"

Wouldn't pick out the brown M&Ms.

[TlalocW]

35. This

27. Air Force 1

"Get off my plane!"

A girl can hope...

[Democrats Ascendant]

29. Perhaps they'll serve eggs and ham for lunch. Airplane food is the worst.

Any chance POTUS push that slimy POS out the window? :praying:

[scscholar]

31. How much will Cruz pay for the ticket?

That's only fair because the corporate-owned media demanded Hillary pay over half a million dollars for riding on Air Force One. Since she had to, it is dishonest of him to not to.

[left-of-center2012]

32. He could ride on the roof ...

Th way Romney's dog rode on the family car.

[montana_hazeleyes]

34. Bwaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

[hamsterjill]

36. I applaud the President for doing this.

I actually even applaud Cruz for agreeing to go.

The problem that I have is that Cruz will be all smiles and hugs today, but will gain NOTHING from the actual sentiment of this gesture and from this memorial. He will go right back to spreading hate and lies against Obama tomorrow.

Some, like Obama, understand forgiveness. Others, like Cruz, don't have any idea what the religion they tout actually teaches.

[mdbl]

41. I disagree. I don't think Cruz deserves the time of day

much less his citizenship.

[hamsterjill]

42. Cruz is an ass.

But Obama is doing the right thing for unity.

As a Texas, I'd love to see Cruz's citizenship revoked! He's an utter embarrassment to my beloved Texas.

[Gamecock Lefty]

37. Maybe Cruz can go the way of D B Cooper?

Preferably without a parachute?

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

44. Chris here : )

I almost dropped my doughnut I laughed so hard,D.B. Cooper ,what a hoot ! The only thing I would add to that picture is myself in the plane punching Cruz in face before he jumps !

Chris here over and out, got to practice my facial expression's in the mirror ,The Donald told me I have to look like I'm there and not there at the same time from now on. I know, I know ,the invisible blob right ! Something out of a 1950's sci fi movie !

[Javaman]

38. Obama: that's my speech, now for the translation into stupid, I give you sen cruz. nt

[jmowreader]

39. We're better than they are, and this is the right thing to do

It doesn't say, but did our president invite the rest of the Texas congressional delegation to travel to Dallas on AF1? Our president is a gracious man and a true human being. It does no good to stoop to the Republicans' level.

[Demonaut]

40. Cornyn: "This is something he’s good at", condescending piece of shit!

did no one else catch that?

[anigbrowl]

43. Well that should save on the air conditioning bill

I imagine there were a lot of chilly silences.

I'm here all week.

[Historic NY]

45. I would have had one of the Air Force personel hand him a parachute........

when the plane reach altitude.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

47. Chris Here : )

As you can tell ,I was never one to trim the fat off the meat of the matter,but the truth is ,Cruz is so full of shit ,I just have to tell ya a parachute would never stop him or it from coming down full force ! You know I'm on a roll today. I really must get back to my mirror !
