Cornyn absolutely needs to go. Has for a long time. Cruz is worlds better.
But not as good as he could be,,,or should be.
Like him or not, he is better than anyone else has been for a long while. But he does seem to be getting farther and farther away from the Tea Party roots that got him the seat.

Beto O'Rourke will save us
Possibly, however his replacement will be worse not better. The GOP won’t run anyone “better” rather they will run someone more swampy.
While the state and country may well deserve Beto, I’m not quite ready to pull that holy hand grenade pin.

He sure does. That last little mess where he called Americans "terrorists" did not play well in this household.
His attempts to explain it only made it worse.
Something is going on with that man. And it may not be good.
I like Ted Cruz very much.
I am pleased that he beat Robert O'Rourke in 2018.
Ted Cruz was my second choice in the Republican race for POTUS in 2016, behind Trump.
Ted Cruz is a politician. They all are politicians. Even Trump became one.
Does Cruz have faults? You bet he does. We all do. His comments in regards to Jan. 6th were stupid.
But he is not a Mittens Romney or John McStain, or Jeff Flake, or Lisa Murkowski, or Susan Collins, or Liz Cheney, or any number of RINOs.
Not even close.
I am not a "Goldilocks" conservative. I am pragmatic, and realistic enough to know that the perfect candidate for anything does not exist. And a perfect candidate is one that can win, that can realistically win the majority of votes in a given race. For all of his faults, I love Trump, the best POTUS in my lifetime, and he was far from perfect. But in 2016, he was by far the only Republican able to beat Clinton. Sometimes folks will bite off their nose to spite their face, and that is a sure fire way of losing ground. Unless a better candidate comes along that can win, I'll stick with Cruz. He was extremely valuable in the past, and he is still valuable for the future.
We can do a whole lot worse. And maybe a little bit better.

Replacing him is the tricky part. Who do we have to primary him?
The good thing about Cruz is he likes to be seen doing the right thing. So see him. Watch him; vigilantly. It's very disappointing that people seem to adore and trust him.
I’m disappointed, but not ready to exchange him for an unknown in this day and time.
When he starts selling pain relief snake oil on Fox, that might change.

I'll vote for Cruz against Beto or his ilk for senate just because the alternative is a disaster. At least he pretends to be on our side. But I will never forget his "speech" at the GOP convention in '16. He showed his true colors and lost me then forever. Turncoat, period, despite all the theatrics.
Dunno does Rand Paul have a sibling? Unless there’s some tid bit of information floating out there about Paul that I haven’t seen, he looks to be doing a decent job. I like his fiscal responsibility push and his fight against that Fauchi nome
