Poll: Ted Cruz now viewed unfavorably in Texas, trails Rick Perry in hypothetical Senate race
Hot Air ^ | Aug. 18, 2016 | Allahpundit

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…

In general, the poll shows Texas Republicans want Cruz to be their candidate for Senate again in 2018 — but not overwhelmingly. Fifty percent said they would like Cruz to be the nominee, while 43 percent said would like someone else to carry the banner.

I believe Poppy Bush gave the signal for Cruz to get out, after the Enquirer and the photo. The Bushes are connected to so many things, in so many ways. Poppy was and is deathly afraid people will start discovering “things”.


I wonder if there is a link between Rafael Cruz and HW? And they wanted to stop people from looking for it? Rafael did go to work for a CIA cutout company in Canada (or at least it’s been said by several people.)

It was not rightly his and he knows it. He stated himself that he was not eligible for the presidency and he is not. He had no birthright except maybe in Cuba or Canada!

Just what is a conservative? What is there to conserve? What is your problem with nationalism?

I am sorry but this is not 1980. Reagan is dead. We are not fighting a cold war. The Republican Party is dead.

I agree with most of your posts, WC, but in the case of Cruz, I think Cruz didn’t call his own shots. He took orders from the Global bosses. In this particular instance, I believe the Big Boss, Poppy Bush, gave the signal. Bush’s order was Cruz’s checkmate.

Cruz criticized Hillary in his speech and has said explicitly he is not voting for Hillary before and after the speech. Hillary’s not the issue. He is simply being honest that he’s an undecided voter when it comes to Trump, like many conservatives. It just shows how sick the world of politics is when simply asking the voters to think for themselves, use their own judgment and follow their own conscience is considered some kind of grave moral error.

The fact is Cruz accurately represents conservatives who are not sold on Trump. He’s honestly communicating to Trump that Trump needs to continue to work on wooing that block of voters if he wants to win. If Trump pivots to the left, he won’t win, because those people don’t trust that he’s a real conservative any more than they trusted that McCain and Romney were. It won’t help Trump for him to have false confidence that he’s won those voters over yet. He needs to convince conservatives that he’ll deliver what they’re looking for.

I have never seen a bigger crock of bovine excrement in my life. You and the Cruzinistas make me sick. This election is not for some High School student President! This is for the life of the nation. You have two choices now: Trump or Clinton. Life or death.

Trump is making his case to the nation now. So is Hillary. He does not need to "woo" anyone; that was for the primary season. You're still undecided about voting for the Republican candidate? Stay home. We don't need your kind. Trump is winning over blacks, disgruntled Democrats, and others who are afraid of Hillary. Go pound sand; you're a hell of a lot less influential than you think.

The conservative movement is a failure and an absolute joke. Nationalism and America first foreign policy is the way forward.

As for LHO, have you viewed the unedited news footage and transcripts for the Dallas PD interviews? You know, the ones where he states dozens of times he’s a patsy and that he didn’t kill anyone, including JD Tippet?

Does that sound like a rabid anti-American that is interested in taking out the Pres. Wouldn’t a guy like that be naturally inclined to declare to the world he killed the most powerful man in the Western capitalist world?

It’s ok COBOL. These are the same people that think Ronald Reagan will be rising from the grave any day now. They think time has stood still since 1980 and that the electorate is still 90% white and not flooded with third-world illegals. They think if we insult homos, codify Christianity as the official religion of the U.S. and talk about the esoteric tax code, conservative principles will win the day.

The only thing that will fix this country is a strong dose of nationalism, protectionism, and foreign policy realism. Anything other than that is the same old same old and the NWO and their foot soldiers in Congress will continue to rape American’s.

Amen, Cobol.

I’m so sick of seeing these people pushing this fake Conservative line. They are playing their part but people see through it for the Globalist subversive strategy that it is.

100% agree!

And I suspect DJT knows it, too!

I think you are 100% correct in your speculation, I really do. It’s been covered up for decades, as most people are easily distracted. And anyone who gets too “close” is “erased”.

Only thing worse than the bogle-glotcher might be open-borders ricardo. Didn’t Cruz do a better job in the senate than 90% of the other sellouts?

Then again, there was his surrender on TPP.

Surely Texas can come up with someone better than these two?

This Texan is no fan of Perry, but I would have a VERY TOUGH TIME voting for Cruz if he’s on the ticket...in fact, I won’t. I may even vote for the Democrat running against him.

I am totally amazed at the Trump supporters, who in the past professed to be CONSERVATIVES

And Now ANY RINO will do, the constitution be damned. I suppose principles are not for everyone - And yes do vote your conscience if you have one

Not sure if he is even a citizen.

That's my question as well, particularly since the only 'proof' I've seen is a Canadian birth certificate. WHO exactly certifies that someone is a citizen and eligible for the legislature? Sec of State?

He's a lawyer, fercryinoutloud! There has to be some paperwork somewhere!
