This is written by Politico. No Republican in their right mind would even consider trading in Ted Cruz for someone as liberal as the worst demoncrap in Washington.
The Texas Republicans who were against Criuz were the establishment Moderates who opposed his candidacy the first time around and things aren’t going so well for them these days.
The Republican Establishment HATES Ted — about as much as they hate the president. I’d say they’re 1 and 2 on the left’s hate list.
