Cruz previously ran for president in 2016. The senator lost the Republican nomination to former President Trump but placed second in the primary. Cruz said Wednesday that because of his placement in the 2016 primary, he would come into the 2024 race "with an enormous base of support."

Does he plan to put his headquarters in Cancun, you know, in case it gets cold here again in Texas.

Coordinating with the 1/6 committee?

He does realize that they’re targeting him too - right?

“And who made him the runner up??”

He came a lot closer to being the runner up against Beto.

If it’s not Trump, then it is DeSantis. There’s no where else to go, PERIOD!

I don’t think so. Trump or DeSantis. Unless something else crops up.

A little humility goes a long way, Ted.

Cruz has a good chance of getting thrown out on his ass if he keeps talking that way. We all saw the snake he is in 2016. Cruz seems not to realize that people only supported him because he said the right things. He’s a Harvard Goldman Sachs elitist just trying to scam people. Always has been.

What a joke. Cruz is almost unelectable in his home state. Arrogant, ambitious, ruthless, self serving, knows he is not a natural born citizen but cares not what damage he would do to the USA and the Constitution on his quest to realize his ambition. Cruz can be counted on to posture for political advantage at every opportunity.

Love Cruz as a Senator but he ain’t presidential material.

Especially since we discovered MAGA.

Whole new ball game.

Seriously, Ted? How did that work out for us when previous runners-up Dole, McCain and Romney were given “their turn”?

Who could forget the dream-team ticket of Cruz/Fiorina?

“Trump or DeSantis. Unless something else crops up.”

The only other possibility is Paul and maybe Abbot.
