EXCLUSIVE - Ted Cruz says GOP White House race is now a showdown between Trump and DeSantis: Republican says Florida Governor still has a chance to get the nomination with two months until Iowa - and teases a future run for president himself

Sen. Ted Cruz hinted that he may be running for president again in the future and said not to count Gov. Ron DeSantis out of the presidential race.

'When I ran in 2016, the most fun I've ever had in my life. And we came incredibly close to winning,' he told DailyMail.com in an interview.

While Trump is far ahead in the polls, Cruz predicted the race is still up for grabs.

Ted is either drinking too much or smoking something. Either way, he’s delusional or working with Soros.

*********************

He’s running in 2028 like the OP alluded to.

Also, Cruz had so much “fun” in 2016 that he decided to sit out 2024.

Hmmm.......wonder why?

Haley is the only one with movement. Desanctus has gone steadily down and Haley had gone steadily up. Cruz needs a primary challenger because he’s obviously showing his hand. I’d prefer Biden to either of those Repukes.

Prefer might not be the right word. Biden, Haley or Desanctus doesn’t matter to me. Irrelevant.

Here are some behind the scenes with Cruz family during the election while they were making campaign commercials.

Especially with Mitch in the Senate.

Cruz also isn’t a natural born citizen.

Cruz is okay, but he could never be president.

He should probably have spent more time with his family, than going after the brass ring.

Bwahahaha...

Desantis is not going to be the nominee.. at this point even if something were to happen to Trump, Desantis would likely not be the nominee.

Thanks for sharing that video.

Total cringe.

I hate the way most politicians exude all that fake, scripted, focus-group tested, sincerity.

That's why a lot of people love Trump, despite his rough edges. He's genuine.

It’s all still close. Anything can happen. Don’t count XXXXXXX out.

This is all stuff dictated by the Campaign Staffer lake within the Swamp. They are whores. They want to be paid and they don’t care what is required to get paid.

THEY, make no mistake here . . . THEY are the only reason all those other also-rans are still running. They talk to their candidate every day about how Trump could get a bullet or could get thrown in jail and . . . yes we have 3 fundraisers scheduled for this week.

Typical republican claptrap. They never open their damn mouth when it is necessary then never know when it’s time to STFU.

I do not want to be teased by Ted Cruz for any reason under any circumstance.
