Just guessing the reasons. Ted is less liked and more controversial, and Ted insulted DJT aand his supporters at the 2016 GOP convention. Some people don’t forget Ted blamed Trump for antifa violence, and made a carnival show of himself with Carly Fiorina.

Or, the polling is skewed.

I cannot see anyone voting for Abbott who then votes for O’****head

There is no good reason. If someone voted for Trump, and now decides to vote for Abbot and Beto, they are an idiot and shouldn’t be voting. Texas is a big state, so lot’s of idiots apparently.

You are correct. The feud he carried on with Trump, including staying in the race when mathematically eliminated, (even though not quite as ridiculously so as John Kasich) is hurting him by a few percentage points.

That, and money still means something in politics, even if it’s cynical, spiteful, money given in vain from Hollywood leftists from out of state.

Somehow, they got the notion from the Alabama debacle that they could pick off Senate seats in deep red states by buying them for $100 million a piece.

Thankfully, all those ‘Beto’ consultants, image makers and pollsters will be trash for liberal cash; pushing Irishman Bobby O’Rourke as a fake Hispanic. His crass cultural appropriation will fail.

Maybe it had something to to do with DJT spreading lies about Cruz during the campaign, hmmmm, like Cruz's father being involved in an assassination, or the the whoppers about his wife?

I guess it doesn't matter about telling lies it's if it's your guy in the campaign telling them.

Well the campaign is over, Trump is President, and both he and Cruz have been able to put the campaign rhetoric behind them for the good of America. Maybe it's time for others to let go of the bullshit from the campaign days too.

BINGO.

If Ted Cruz wins, and I sincerely hope he does, for the next 6 years he’d better be backing Pres Trump everyday, everyway, in all measures.

If he does that, than he’d probably get much higher numbers in his (hopefully) next reelection.

I remember that day. During the next week the un-endorsements began rolling in and it was the beginning of the end.

As expected, accurate answer by the third post.

And.

One hundred percent of the people complaining about Lying Ted being harder to elect see not one thing wrong with blaming people who voted for Trump in the primaries for the physical assaults from the left at Trump's Chicago rally.

That's why Cruz is in trouble, and people voting for him have to hold their nose to do it. Yeah, beats having drunken Irish Bob the transvestite, but the Texas #nevertrumpers who gave us Cruz in the primaries set us up to have a choice as to which candidate we wanted to vote against more, rather than one we could actually vote FOR.

And therein lies the problem with our side....we will use any reason to take "principled" actions to shoot ourselves in the head....and then bitch because the dems are ruining the country.
