Of course the weasel wants Ted Cruz out of the Senate ... where he helps keep the RINOs somewhat honest.

Graham should forward his appeal to Evan McMullin.

The clowns who tried torpedoing Trump for past year think they have any influence.

Miss Lindsey just wants Cruz out of the Senate.

Ted just may have laid the groundwork for that to happen all by himself.

I would love Cruz on the court but Graham’s statement is probably the kiss of death for it happening as I think Trump hates Graham like 90% of the right does.

Seems kind of odd, seeing how Lindsey doesn’t appear to like Cruz all that much. Cruz is certainly qualified though.

I know a lot of folks here at FR don’t like Cruz, and I doubt that Cruz even wants the gig... BUT does anyone dispute the idea that Cruz would be rock-solid constitutional conservative justice in the mold of Rehnquist/Scalia/Thomas?

That is a terrible idea.
Cruz does not know what natural born citizen means.
