I think not.

The mention of Fredo’s name energizes competitors, I should think, and he will be primaried.

If PAC’s pitch in, as promised, to fund Cruz’ Republican opponent then we’re in business to bounce him. PAC players have long memories.

I wonder how Taya Kyle would be as a candidate. There is a lot of celebrity there and a lot of likeability. She seems mighty conservative when I’ve heard her on Hannity.

>But he has a sterling voting record in the Senate and Trump will be counting on his votes. The Senate margin is likely to decline in this election cycle. Hurting Cruz in 2018 is risky. I wouldn’t do it. Trump won’t either.

Ted was seen traveling on air-force one a week or so before the convention. Does a man of principle travel with a President who runs around encouraging cop killings on his way to the funeral of a cops murdered by BLM? We have to consider the possibility that Ted Cruz offered his back stabbing in exchange from something from Hillary.

A snake like Ted should be thrown out of the senate as quickly as possible to avoid further backstabbings.

I saw them, and some of them had an Okie under each arm.

That's just.....

My Sooner GrandPap had his horse stolen way back at the end of the 19th century. He said it was the only time he carried a gun. He tracked the horse thief down into Texas but never caught up with him.

No. And I doubt he will be, certainly not by any of the democrat pigs mentioned in this article. I doubt he’ll face a serious primary challenger.

I would not be shocked though if he decided not to run.

I believe it’s more likely that he’ll attempt to sabotage Trump every chance he gets.

We don’t want to lose a seat because of that jerk.
The seat was lost the minute that he took it.

His accomplishments in that seat amount to enabling Obama/Kerry giving Iran the nuclear deal and $150bn and agreeing with Obama's TPP deal.

The man is a fraud to the core and is not worthy of any seat in government.

I had a neighbor that was born and raised in Oklahoma. Although he himself was a Mexican American, he maintained that a Texan was just a Mexican that didn’t make it all the way to Oklahoma!

“But he has a sterling voting record in the Senate....”

I’m afraid that’s a myth not supported by the actual facts. Cruz voted FOR the Coker Bill which subverted the Constitution by giving a go around for mandatory Senate approval of the Iran Treaty.

Cruz voted for the TPA, and he supports TPP.

Cruz NEVER had ANY chance to become President as he is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

Obama only reached that level because the Dems, the media, cowardly Republicans, and an equally cowardly USSC gave Obama a pass........”After all,” they said, “how much harm could he do?”

In Cruz’s case no one will give him the same pass. Cubanadians need not apply!

LOL! You have to be brain dead to believe Cruz will be an ally to Trump

Oh and that "sterling voting record" for the Obama/Kerry Iran deal. Not to mention Obama's anti-American TPP deal.

Dummy took a stupid risk and it backfired, terribly.
If his seat goes to a dem like wendy, then sheesh, he should move out of Texas for being such a major screw up.

I say round up ALL the cruz thumb suckers and get ‘em all in one place where they can’t do any more damage.

Ted’s a shoo-in for reelection. In two years, 2016 will be water under the bridge.

If Hillary wins, Texas will probably be a blue state two years from now thanks to the millions of new Democratic voters she'll import.

Well then lets not give it to a dem. How’s that?

You’re right, he was worthless.

Will the ex governor be worth anything. I’m not from Texas so I dont know.

Saying Cruz was bad dont make it right to give it to a dem.

What a #### he turned out to be though, huh?

“They’re Texan before they’re American.”

Maybe, but they were also Cruzers first. Look at the comments here, and from Texans (me included) that want nothing more to do with him.

A politician makes a racial reference ONCE and his career can end that moment. Cruz got maybe a dozen chances to get his sanity back before the convention ended...but never did.

NO THANKS!
