1. If he was a Democrat and did this...he would be hiring a dozen new bodyguards. But he is a GOP so

nothing to see here

[Amaryllis]

18. Yep. GOP is above the law.

[old guy]

2. IOKIYAR.

3. Thanks for calling that sleazy piece out

The Republican Party has made it clear, they are for sale to the highest bidder, hostile foreign powers are welcome. What a relief for the likes of Cruz and Mitch, they no longer need to find creative ways to hide the donations.

I can hardly wait for a 2020 voter purge by defeat of all Republicans on the ticket.

4. Just remember this one overriding fact:

republi-CONS win mostly BECAUSE THEY CHEAT!!!!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. The USA is numerically progressive, liberal, and Democratic. . . . nt

16. They have alwarys cheated lets go back to 1988 (Lee Atwater)

they tried in 1992 and pissed off cause Clinton's campaign well organized staff got the best of them and won
2000 they made up their mind that no way would they lose..The Gore campaign was not smart enough to realize the fix was in and chose a mole as VP
2008& 2012...Republicans didn't know who or what they were up against and were overwhelmed by the well organized campaign and staff

2016..Republicans had to get the Russians help but I think Hillary had a very incompetent campaign staff and failed to campaign enough in Midwest Blue Collar stronghold. (Losing Mich in the Primary should have been a wake up call)

So fast forward to 2020..Democrats better be prepared to over come anything Repukes have to throw at them.
They show be screaming to have paper ballots and insist on paper ballots.

Any and every Democratic candidate should say at the beginning of every interview that we must have paper ballots....
Oops ..I said 1988...
Did I mention that if we look really hard at the 1968 election Nixon probably lost

.@tedcruz Your campaign gave US voter data to a guy in Russia named Yaroslav Leontenko. He wrote code directly into your official campaign app. His work also included translating that app framework text into the Russian language for use in other campaigns.
Explain yourself.

7. If this is true and verifiable it will blow him UP! nt

[Wednesdays]

10. See post #1.

I give it 50/50 nothing will come of it, even if proven.

[exboyfil]

26. Yes

He is Senator until 2024. Probably won't impact him with the rabid base when he runs for President in 2024 either.

8. don't forget

Before Cambridge Analytica worked from Trump in 2016, they were supporting Cruz

[peggysue2]

9. Hummmmm . . .

Wonder how Beto O'Rourke feels reading this? I suspect very Clintonesque.

Safe to say, Republicans are no longer (haven't been for quite some time) the loyal opposition. When you're willing to break the rules, suppress the vote and flat-out cheat, you've become the enemy of our democratic Republic.

Cruz has a whole lot s'plaining to do.

[sandensea]

11. And then, of course, had them cheat O'Rourke.

Electronic voting = ballot stuffing (but without the proof).

[Honeycombe8]

12. Is that illegal? nt

[apnu]

13. This is slowly coming to light

I recall, very clearly, during the Obama years, the Republican party, out of the blue, went pro-Russia. Suddenly every Republican was sharing that picture of Putin on the horse with out a shirt and some bad picture of Obama on the beach, also shirtless, to show what a "real leader was"

Who also remembers that?

Right around then the Republican Party became high on Putin and Russia and have been sniffing Putin's crotch ever since.

I remember watching that and wondering how long it would take for that to get out and what Americans will think of it. Well its getting out now. Who knows what the American voter will think. Trump and Republican support is so whacked out, the Religious Right thinks Trump is sent from God, while painfully, and hilariously, ignore the fact that Trump is the living embodiment of all 7 Deadly Sins.

The cynic in me says those people will be high on Russia as much as the Republicans are. If they can still bitch about Bill Clinton's infidelities while ignoring Trump's very public history of philandering and sexual assault, they'll believe anything.

[UpInArms]

24. I remember that

And it gave me the creeps

[FakeNoose]

14. Five bucks says he's not the only Repuke that did this, either

[Botany]

15. Want to see all the GOP senators who are owned by Putin/Russia?

Look @ everyone who voted to lift sanctions on Oleg Dirapaska.

So maybe Beto did win but Cruz used Russia to cheat .... mother fuckers.

[triron]

17. Well if you find something worked well, why stop that something?

Treason is now acceptable it seems as long as your party stays in power.

[Amaryllis]

19. And aren't we all just shocked. Beto would have won if this had been a fair election. I thought

that all along.

[triron]

21. Same with Hillary in 2016 and a few senators as well.

The presidency and control of the Senate were all stolen from us by traitors.
Damn them to Hell!

23. Traitorous hypcrite.

[turbinetree]

27. Maybe Moscow Mitch and Red the Ted, have something in commpon along with

the Russian National Committee or euphemistically called the RNC........................since they are party over country...........and are basically traitors .................................. :


November 3, 2020 cannot get here soon enough.........................

[Squinch]

29. But what will have changed?

[triron]

30. Good point. Does anyone think the Kremlin will be unable to get the results it wants?

[Gothmog]

28. Carnival Cruz is an asshole

[SunSeeker]

31. K & R for exposure.

32. +100

33. So much for "buy American"

These guys couldn't have found hackers right here in the US? What is this!!???

[Maru Kitteh]

34. Donnie's "invitation" to bring him back into the fold,

makes so much sense. How connected are the Mercers to Leontenko I wonder?
