Suddenly, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, isnt acting like a shoo-in for re-election.
After his prime-time non-endorsement of GOP nominee Donald Trump at the Cleveland convention caused a firestorm, Cruz became the target of a lot of speculation. Already Democrats such as former State Sen. Wendy Davis, formerly of Fort Worth, and U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro of San Antonio are talking about throwing their hats in the ring for U.S. Senate in 2018.
As soon as Castro said in a joint CBS News interview with his brother, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro, that he was going to take a look at it, Cruz launched a fundraising appeal.
Despite any record of achievement and a liberal ideology out of touch with the majority of Texans, the Castro brothers have the full support of the mainstream media and Washington establishment willing to do everything in their power to turn Texas blue, said Cruz. Help me fight back!

He lied about supporting the republican nominee. I wouldn’t vote for him. Besides, he’s incredibly annoying.
No. He’s finished.
Ted’s a shoo-in for reelection. In two years, 2016 will be water under the bridge.
When will he ask Trump to help him get re-elected?
Not only no, but HELL NO.
And I voted for Cruz in the Primary.....Fool me once....
Yeah but Texas has to get someone to beat him in a primary.
We don’t want to lose a seat because of that jerk.
And I dont want to see Castro’s face for six years!!
Not the ones I know.
Sponge Bob and Patrick (Cruz and Glenn Beck) can ride off into the sunset together...........over a cliff.
Cruz is finished.
Agree.
Teds a shoo-in for reelection. In two years, 2016 will be water under the bridge.
NOT with THIS Texan!!!
He’s toasTED, as far as I...and every Texan I know are concerned.
Do you reside in TX??
Rumor mill has it that ol Rick Perry may throw his hat into the ring. (I’ve seen a couple of others post that, here, too.) We’ll have to wait and see.
Ping!
I agree!
My husband and I received a mailer from him last week in which he asked us to sign a pledge promising to support his re-election. As you can imagine, we were shocked that he was so tone deaf.
Sure sign it. Then renege on it like he did!
He sent me an email looking for money again as I supported both his Senate and Presidential campaigns. I hit the block button.
Don’t get me started about this. I was at the RNC in Cleveland, and I heard way too many in the Texas delegation that sounded like Glenn Beck. They’re Texan before they’re American. They strutted around the convention floor with their Stetsons and their matching lone star shirts, but when the time came to help show unity behind the nominee, far too many of them chose their “native son.”
Reliving the entire evening makes me furious.
