This would probably be a good time to remind everyone that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) refused to endorse Donald Trump for president at the RNC nominating convention back in 2016. We could have ended up with “President Hillary Clinton” because of that petty stunt, but fortunately, support for Trump was way too massive.
Cruz is easy to like for those of us on the right, so it’s always painful to watch when he has one of those “moments” where he figuratively pours gas on himself and lights a match. He had another one this week when delivering a speech in the Senate. Cruz said that the January 6 protests were a “violent terrorist attack,” using the approved talking points of Nancy Pelosi to describe what was actually a mostly peaceful protest.
That speech earned Cruz a trip to the forefront of the world of memes, and this little gem where he’s wearing one of the pink yarn hats from the Women’s March. A violent terrorist attack?
Good grief! Many of the people targeted by the Justice Department since that day are our friends and neighbors. It really was a mostly peaceful protest. Whose side is Ted Cruz on, anyway?

If you’re the type that will NOT VOTE for Cruz in a November election, then you are the reason Cruz cannot be re-elected.
And, if that is the case, don’t take this as a personal attack on you, and while I disagree with you (but do, in a way, admire you) - you represent a huge block of conservatives. Cruz started losing you guys at the 2016 Convention and seems to have no interest in trying to get you back.
Unlike Cornyn, who also draws from a squishy ‘moderate’ portion of the electorate, Cruz started in the Senate (in 2012) with the most votes he’ll ever get, and rather than making those voters even more solid for him, he’s been jettisoning them ever since. Now he’s badly underwater and has no one left to add to what’s left of his voting base.
BusTed!!
“Well Bob, I’ve got a crisp $50 bill that sayz Cruz remains our senator. Donated to FR in Nov. if you or I are in error.”
You’ll have your answer long before that, when the next round of statewide polling come out. Not that you’ll change, you’re kind of stuck where you are.
Too often in life when someone say’s they’re sorry they’re really just trying to change your mind.
Good point and it can make a good tagline.
