Chris McDaniel may have refused to concede the Mississippi Senate primary without a challenge, but Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) appears to be moving on after the Tea Party suffered primary defeats last night.
“I certainly congratulate my colleague, Thad,” Cruz said on Fox and Friends Wednesday morning, pointing out that the Republican establishment poured millions into the Mississippi race and only won by a thin margin. Cruz reminded the hosts that he did not endorse a candidate in the Mississippi primary, as he promised to stay out of incumbent Senate races.
But Cruz insisted that Cochran’s narrow victory should be a warning for Republicans in Washington, D.C. “I think that demonstrates that there is a lot of hunger for change. People are frustrated with Washington, and they're hungry for leaders who will stand up and make the case we need to go a different path,” Cruz said.

I have no idea what you’re talking about.
You asked another poster if the election was being contested. I posted a link and comment to you that it looks like it is/may be contested.
Good day.
Unlike your boy, Reagan didn’t need to buy democrat votes.
“But we are proud for Ronald Reagan to get democrat votes?”
A vote does not equal a vote.
Did Reagan call you or his opponent a racist if you didn’t vote for him?
Did Reagan hand out street money in the ghettos to vote for him?
Did Reagan sell his soul and principles to get you to vote for him?
All the democrat votes Cochran got in the runoff were supposedly from democrat voters who had NOT voted in the primary.
If you voted in the primary then you cannot cross over and vote for another party in the runoff.
Oh, inserting yourself into a side in a debate and then claiming to have nothing to do with it?
Libs use that tactic effectively
It keeps them out of real events, and stuck in academia and ideology
But the question you attempted to answer that you were not asked was, as you know, has he election been officially contested, allowing a sitting senator from another state to publicly question it, to which you inserted your article stating ‘it looks like it’s going to be contested’
Now you have nothing to do at all with tge conversation
But I’ll state, for the record, that your article proves the opposite, as you know, and that Cruz needs to stay away from siding in this issue.
Sarah Palin enjoys a position in the party, and it is one of opinion and endorsement and cheerleading
She is this unelectable, which is fine, it gives her room to speak
That’s where people here want Cruz to be. Just shooting his mouth off
Go somewhere else with your feigned innocence at taking sides and with annoyance at Cruz for not stepping out of line to express your feelings
If a state (like Illinois) does not provide for party registration of voters, it will be the responsibility of the state party to do so OR ELSE. Probably needs minor fine tuning but that will work.
Ever notice how much smarter people were in 110 A.D.?
Finally, a post(others like this one) of sound reasoning and calm.
Ted took some sound Reagan advice....
>> The Tea Party may have had a defeat last night
No one is ever defeated by a cheater.
The outcome was nothing more than a technical setback.
Well, your screen name is an admirable one but you are not living up to it or to your admirable tagline.
*WE* are those of us who are not Democrats, you say???
Lisa Murkow2ski does not claim to be a Demonrat but she, unlike her father, is a rampaging pro-abort. Likewise the departed (from the Senate) Olympia Snowe. John Cornyn, LAMAR!!! Alexander, Bob Corker, Thad Cochran, John Isakson, Lindsay Light Loafers Graham, Jeff Flake, Mitchie the Turtle McConnell, John McCain (father of pro-abort Miss Piggy McCain), Roy Blount and Pat Roberts (who is too cheap to rent a studio apartment in Kansas as a residence) and many more who are not formally Demonrats could care less about the babies. They care about having their palms and their kids' trust funds greased by Wall Street and K Street. We DO NOT WIN when they win.
Now the GOP-E scum are using every maneuver in the book to see to it that conservatives, actual conservatives, not the phonies that I have mentioned, cannot be nominated. That sets up races between Demonrat (D) and Demonrat (R) in which only Demonrat (D)n might be principled (with the wrong principles). This is what you are encouraging.
No more Romneys. No more McCains. No more Doles. No More Pappy Bushes. No more Cochrans, Cornyns, Alexanders, Corkers, etc. Not in our lifetimes. Not in God's lifetime.
*groan*
Ya had ta remind us! Ack!
Thanks so much for publishing that meat and potatoes link!
I want a winnable challenge made. This is it.
I want the gloves off.
I want the McConnell-McCain Cochran fundraising exposed, chapter and verse.
I want to know who, what and when was behind those ads and the lying, slanderous robo calls against McDaniels, in those all black districts.
I want to know who wrote those ads, paid for those ads and who recorded the robo calls, saying McDaniels wanted to take away the black vote.
I want McCain exposed for conspiring against the Tea Party and the Republican base with dirty tricks, using DC Democrats to go mess with the black vote in Mississippi against McDaniels.
I want to know who gave to McConnell’s PAC, in that DC Cochran fundraiser he threw, for arm twisting money out of other senators to kill off the Tea Party and its preferred candidate, McDaniels.
Uni-Party is now in full operation.
McDaniel can win this thing with a liitle bare knuckles effort, or by launching his write-in campaign now!
Hope he does hit the fire all engines button.
You’re welcome. I agree with ALL you posted.
Not sure yet on Oberweis. I voted for Truex in the primary but not often enough. (This IS Illinois, after all).
Other than cochran calling conservatives a bunch of racists and getting the Black vote to come out for him McDaniel wins this going away. McDaniel was a very credible candidate. The problem with "sugar coating" the message is voters don't know what to believe or expect from the candidate.
I can remember voting for candidates that were "soft" thinking that they would be tough once they were in office and every time they let me down. As I watch this country decline my thinking is if the candidate isn't a conservative there is no point in voting.
Reagan was not a soft message guy. He was tough as nails. People often think he was soft because he was smooth, relaxed and jovial. He stuck to his principals when all those around him wavered. We need leaders that are tough conservatives.
“John McCain (father of pro-abort Miss Piggy McCain)”
I’ll also point out his piggy daughter is now on the directors board at GLAAD - Gay Liberal AIDS Attack Dirtbags
Well ranted. Hear, hear!
We are saying the same thing. Reagan stuck with his conservative principles, but he was incredibly skilled at delivering his message without scaring anyone. His famous "shining city on the hill" made every one feel optimistic. McDaniel should have talked less about cutting spending (which scares many people) and talked more about TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY. That TEA party name is incredibly effective yet I hardly hear it being repeated often.
They will do nothing until the ,rats retake the Senate in 2016. Then they will continue to do nothing.
