Ted Cruz Is Readying for 2020
The Atlantic ^ | Jul 6, 2016 | Nora Kelly

Posted on 07/21/2016 7:18:25 AM PDT by detective

Ted Cruz’s 2016 presidential campaign ended just two months ago. But his campaign for next cycle is already getting started.

According to a report Wednesday in National Review, the Texas senator is making big changes inside and outside of his Senate office to ready his political operation for a 2020 run. Cruz has been “conspicuously silent” recently, the report notes, but behind the scenes has “supervis[ed] the vast expansion of his electoral enterprise, integrating the operations of his campaign team,” and has instituted staffing changes to reflect his long-term goals.

Among them is Cruz’s decision to bring on a longtime Republican campaign operative—with no Hill-office experience—as his Senate chief of staff. His current chief is departing to work as a senior adviser to two new Cruz-aligned nonprofit groups

I wouldn't let that psycho anywhere near the Supreme Court. His conduct is so unbecoming, an ambulance chaser would flip him off.

Cruz should get a job working as an assistant DA prosecuting dope dealers in Portland, OR.

In so far as I am concerned, any of the 2016 candidates that insisted upon, then “signed” the pledge to support the winner of the primaries and have reneged on their word are dead to me.

Let me paraphrase Charles Krauthammer on Fox. “That was one of the longest suicide letters he has ever heard read.” (Or words to that effect.

He must be readying for a career in the convenience store industry, because he has zero future in politics after last night’s stunt.

Not only is he irritating to listen to, but also to watch. Every time he made a statement, he smiled as if to say “that’s gonna help me”. Not only is he tone deaf, but also I see Obama doing the same thing. It is unconscionable to torpedo the party’s nominee in order to make room for yourself. He is dead to me, I will never vote for him

If Shitlery wins, she will legalize (and bring in) tens of millions of third world voters.

How does the holy roller weirdo Cruzhole expect to overcome those numbers?

What a freak.

can’t support him...I’m not a big Trump supporter but if Sanders can endorse the witch, certainly Cruz could have endorsed Trump.

“how petty and vindictive Cruz...”

...showed that he is, with his snide remark to the New York delegation.

He may revile Trump. He demonstrated that revulsion extends to the people at the convention-at least in part.

Ted burned a lot of his bridges last night. Frankly a whole bunch of GOPers shot themselves in the foot for 2020 if Trump loses. At the top of that list are Cruz, Kasich, Rubio and Bush. Christie and Pence probably come out looking pretty good.

Ted’s career will now be similar to Ron Paul’s, the kooky politician who runs every year and grows his cult of support to 5-9% but never actually accomplishes anything other than self promotion thru never ending speeches.

“Ted ripped Trump supporters today as Rabid”

Really?

I’m not watching, as this is the daily convention distraction meme for the LSM.
