Chris McDaniel may have refused to concede the Mississippi Senate primary without a challenge, but Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) appears to be moving on after the Tea Party suffered primary defeats last night.
“I certainly congratulate my colleague, Thad,” Cruz said on Fox and Friends Wednesday morning, pointing out that the Republican establishment poured millions into the Mississippi race and only won by a thin margin. Cruz reminded the hosts that he did not endorse a candidate in the Mississippi primary, as he promised to stay out of incumbent Senate races.
But Cruz insisted that Cochran’s narrow victory should be a warning for Republicans in Washington, D.C. “I think that demonstrates that there is a lot of hunger for change. People are frustrated with Washington, and they're hungry for leaders who will stand up and make the case we need to go a different path,” Cruz said.

Good point! The more the base indicates to the GOPe that we are fed up with business as usual, the bigger the middle finger they send our way. The party of stupid, indeed. They are burning their bridges with reckless abandon. When their chickens come home to roost [to mix metaphors], it won’t be pretty.
Thank you for one of many excellent replies to this absurd comment comparing CochRan to Reagan.
That would be a spiritual action on his part that neither you nor I have any way of knowing...
...unless you were merely speaking figuratively. ;-o
If you were speaking figuratively...I could continue by saying that he sold his soul long ago in return for power/status.
“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior…” -1 Timothy 2:1-3
Based on the leadership we have today, I’m guessing that we have not lived up to this urging from the Holy Bible.
BTTT!
How stupid can the black voters be to think that one elected Senator is going to take away their right to vote? Stupid, stupid, stupid - but then again - they continue to vote 95% for Dems - so I rest my case.
Cruz should have said, “I understand the election has been challenged, let’s wait for those results before I comment.”
but the dhimmicrats put Cochran over the edge. McDaniel was way ahead a few days ago until the Democrat push....
I live in a horribly liberal state....but at least you can only vote for your own party in a primary.
I am, as a matter of fact. How are you doing at gettind rid of John Cornyn, by the way.
Oops.
Yet your senator, who I greatly admire, wants to lead me. This isn’t how you go about it.
Someone prove that in a court of law, then get a comment from Cruz.
We cannot afford to stay home during the main election...even if things are not the way we would have preferred.
We MUST control the Senate.
Whatever.
Bash him.
See where it gets you
One of the most ignorant and arrogant posts in a long time.
You should be extremely embarrassed if you do not have the intellectual ability to understand the evil omitted by the evil GOPe.
You post insults all Liberty lovers.
Tell your pal Karl Rove hi!
I think everyone knows he probably didn’t have sex with animals, but it shows how out of touch and out of his mind he is.
Then he needs to ask them (NRSC) to remove his name, title and photo from their website.
As of this morning, their website still lists Cruz as VChair of grassroots outreach.
I voted for Cruz...did not vote for Cornyn.
I am happy that Cruz is not active with NRSC...Cornyn and NRSC helped re-elect Arlen Specter...shorty before he changed parties.
Who are your senators?... that I assume are more conservative than Cruz and Cornyn.
I think all congressmen should stay out of primary elections...especially giving money to other campaigns.
This is NOT forgivable!
To Hell with Cochran. Literally!
Excellent post. The utter evil that Barbour and the GOPe unleashed is truly unforgivable.
I am still in shock over just how truly evil is ALL in the GOPe. They truly HATE Conservatives and the Tea Party more than anything.
The GOP does not include tea party voters in that “we”, why should we?
Why vote for those who hate you?
And why would Cruz say conrats to a Party that smears their base daily?
And why does anyone on FreeRepublic STILL under the illusion that the Republican Party is on our side????
It is delusional at this point.
“I think that demonstrates that there is a lot of hunger for change...” not enough apparently.
My current ‘sinator’ is Cochran.
I won’t be voting for him in Nov however.
For the first time, I am quite disappointed in Cruz's response.
