Senator Cruz stunned conservatives when he refused to endorse Donald Trump at the RNC Convention in Cleveland. This came after Cruz was thumped in the GOP primary race. Perry leads Cruz in a senate primary matchup 46% to 37%.
The Texas Tribune reported:
A new poll suggests there is at least one fellow Republican who could unseat U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018: Rick Perry.
The former Texas governor would beat Cruz by 9 percentage points, according to the forthcoming survey from the Democratic-leaning firm Public Policy Polling. Set to be released later today, the poll found Perry would get 46 percent of the vote and Cruz 37 percent, with 18 percent saying they are not sure whom they would support.

Yet perfectly predictable. Enjoy your imaginary world.
I saw it a bit differently, although I fully understand where both of you are coming from. Sontagged, I don't think Cruz is a team player. For that reason I don't see him as a GOPe plant. No, it's all about Ted for Ted. Nobody else figures in his grand design. As for Ted standing up for you Toga, I think that is a common misconception in the Cruz supporter camp. I think Ted was able to spin his miscalculations into something you would think of as representing Conservatism. He was very very good at it. At the end of the day though, his actions skewed against our cause. Right now he'd rather refuse to support Trump to validate his claim all along that Trump wasn't presidential. Hillary is? That's the only alternative right now. Ted has destroyed himself IMO.
You’re way too angry over things you don’t need to be angry about and for no reason.
But no worries, we will all be happy come January when Trump is inaugurated, both Houses are Republican, and Trump and Cruz are great allies in dismantling Obama’s fundamental change and putting things on the right track.
Maybe you think that’s an imaginary world.
I don’t.
Projection is a serious mental illness. Seek help.
Have a nice day!
“Have a nice day!”
I have and I will.
You too.
Cruz won’t lose the primary unless you can somehow prove El rato hurt Trump amongst moderate northern whites.
The focus should be on removing Jeb Bush Jr from the Land office; Jeb Jr is scare & endorsed Trump last week.
We can survive one more squish.
He wasn’t squishy enough to NOT endorse our Presidential Candidate.
Cruz was. If I hate him, and I LOVED him, then i would assume that goes for a lot of people.
Perry is a NATIVE Texan.. Cruz is Canadian.
It's a DONE DEAL.
Go ahead, support Ricky Retardo.
Thanks for your thoughts, Glenn.
