Think what you like about Cruz, but this Castro queer would be horrible news for Texas.

Once Trump flushes out all the illegals and builds that wall, scumbags like this Castro will leave the political scene.

There was a lot of talk about the big splash Joaquin Castro would make in the last election as Hillary’s running mate.
The Dem voters seems underwhelmed.
He was never in the game. We’ll see what happens now.
He (Joaquin) will need to start making news and garner positive attention for himself. This means he will probably come out as a defender of all who are here illegally.

Well, if nothing else, he IS being a ally in the Senate, so it’s better to keep him.

But what about that other Texas senator? When is he done so he CAN be kicked out?

Cornyn is up in 2020.

Cruz is trying to help President Trump in the Senate.
If he pledges not to run for President again, I’d even kick in for his campaign for re-election.

Bush supported and got behind Castro and got him started.

Another gift from the moron.

From what I’ve heard, both he and his twin brother,Julian, are empty suits. They and their mother are all sock puppets for La Raza.

Joaquin was discussed on radio yesterday. Hosts told a story about Joaquin’s twin brother impersonating Joaquin at a public event while Joaquin attended another event (fundraiser). When asked about it Joaquin said something like not our fault we’re twins, that’s the way it goes.

I think it is 50/50 whether Cruz will be renominated in ‘18. He seriously pissed a lot of people off last year with his stunt at the convention. I don’t live in Texas but if I did, I’d be looking for someone else to vote for in a primary.

Yep. I live in San Antonio. I remember when that happened.

The media just laughed it off.

"I think in the coming years, especially because you've got Donald Trump in the White House, I think you're going to see a lot of gains in state legislative races for Democrats,"

Really? i dont think so. Lower taxes are coming, increase enforcement of the boarder, deportations, a more conservative surpreme court, less regulations for more business.

..And in the state of Texas, people will run to the Democrats to reverse all that, seriously?

*****************

I think it will depend on whether any other strong GOP candidated gets in the primary race.
Texas uses an open primary thus there can be cross over votes depending upon the other races.
