Ted Cruz for Senate

[oldag]

So you are saying that ? Or who is saying that ?

I am not saying it. Read the posts.

I am not saying it. Read the posts.

I don't see a thing in the posts that say or insinuate that Cruz is a RINO, liberal, closet democrat until your post brings it up. Whose post said that before yours?

Try #2 and #5.

Not in the primary. He is the puppet masters chosen one.
Looking ahead Colin Allred is running about 5 points behind Ted. No one else on the R side has shown a glimmer of hope. Unless he gets caught with a goat, maybe.

Allred is a waste of our oxygen. No way in hell would I vote for him.

I like Cruz and contrary to @oldag I do not believe Cruz to be a RINO whatsoever.

The Allred ad I have seen has him crying over that gal whose life was in danger because of a bad pregnancy and she had to leave Texas to get an abortion. The right is about the border, economy and crime and the left... ABORTION aka women's health aka the right to choose (to kill a baby).

In 50+ years, 556 OB deliveries, 30K+ OB ultrasound exams, I’v never seen a single case of abortion to save a mother’s life.

The ruptured tubal ectopics are dead or dying anyway.

This is so rare to be nonexistent.

If there was anyone of positive note running against Cruz, that person would absolutely get my vote.

They're the ones saying it, and I'm wondering what they know that the rest of us don't. Cruz has appeared to be consistent and reliable (for a politician) so far, and hasn't stabbed us in the back that I'm aware of. I'm wondering how he's the "puppet masters' chosen one" and what he did to lose Byrd's vote. Far as I know he's still pissing off Dems and the entrenched swamp R's at the same time.

Neither of those posts come anywhere close to what you claim.

Bless your heart.

Bless your heart.

He can't think for himself.

What do you not like about Cruz? I wish we could clone Cruz and replace Cornyn.

 

[george b]

Cornyn was the first to throw his hat in the ring to replace McConnell in the Senate. God forbid there is enough support to elect him. We don't need him to decide anything important for the Senate to agree to.

 

[majormadmax]

Cruz is smarter than most, a Constitutionalist, and as far as I am concerned, a somewhat honest politician who actually works for his constituents.

I have no trouble with voting for him!

Asked if it's true that Cruz was one of his smartest students ever, and [Alan] Dershowitz said yes. "And in fact, I got a lot of criticism from my friends on the left, saying, 'Why are you saying that?'" he added. "I'm a professor. I have to tell the truth about my students, even if I disagree with their views, even if I'm not going to vote for him."

Cornyn should be a “case study” of how the corruption machine on the Potomac works.

Recall that when he first rose to public attention he was the very conservative, Law-&-Order, S E TX Judge Cornyn.

Once he got to D C, it was all downhill. . . . . .

D C must be razed and our Capital moved to mid-continent, maybe western Kansas.

The once-proud District of Columbia has been reduced to a sewer of corruption & crime by decades of democrat “self government”, which was never the intent of our Founders !

Yes, maybe, BUT; haven’t you noticed Alan Dershowitz’ recent defection from the leftists’ side on just about every issue ?

Always heard that Potomac fever was very contagious
Lots of good people went there with good intentions but the fever eventually got worse

1) He has spoken highly of Cruz for over 2 decades, since Cruz became a public figure as SG. That quote is from 2016 for example.

2) He has not defected from a single liberal position (guns, abortion, civil liberties, BigGov, etc), just does not support some of their current strategies.

That doesn't apply to Cruz. If anything, he's been a staunch and tenacious opponent of the swamp monsters which is one of the reasons I think so highly of him!

If Allred were running against Cornyn, I'd have to think about who to vote for.
Hopefully someone can Primary Cornyn next time around.
