Ted Cruz Suspends Work to Help Elect Republican Senators, Inadvertently Helps Democrats

Texans know Ted Cruz has a tendency to not play nice with others. There was a hope among establishment Republicans the Junior Senator form Texas was going to start acting as more of a team player in Washington and with the larger Republican Party when he accepted the role of vice chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). The NRSC is the official arm of Senate Republicans designed to elect Republicans to the US Senate. Cruz served without controversy in his leadership position for several months until incumbent Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi was pushed into a runoff with TEA Party fueled challenger, State Sen. Chris McDaniel. Cruz, who is a product of a TEA Party uprising in Texas, had a natural inclination to make sure McDaniel was at least on equal footing with the long-time incumbent.

But after Cochran's victory with an assist from the NRSC, Ted Cruz is causing problems with his fellow Senators; problems which may, again, cost Republicans a chance at control of the US Senate in November. After the jump, learn what new problems Ted Cruz is causing for the Republican Party in the name "true conservatism" now.

We have competitive races from Michigan on down. We could win nine net seats.

Oh, I know that, Cotton. I was responding to the previous post, certainly not the article you posted.

We need to have them, to know what’s being said.

Mitch McConnell and Haley Barbour have done more to help Democrats than Ted Cruz ever could.

What Mitch and Haley did in MS was beyond the pale.

There was a hope (that Cruz) was going to start acting as more of a team player in Washington and with the larger Republican Party when he accepted the role of vice chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC).

So.... Ted Cruz is NOT a political whore. Next point?

[Din Maker]

Sen. Cruz is turning out to be an unlikely likely ally to Democrats and may inadvertently help elect a few liberals to Washington this November.

BULLS**T! You can blame Mitch McConnell, Thad Cochran and Haley Barbour along with every other RINO who hates the Conservative base and has pushed us to the point that they will NOT be able to count on our votes in November; even if it means the Democrats win. So..... HASTA LA VISTA BABY!

[Din Maker]

I’m fine with Cruz aiding the best candidate, party be damned.

For the first time in my life since 1972 I will be voting for the democrat (Grimes in KY)

Good for you. And if Chris McDaniel is not on the ballot in MS, I hope everyone of of his 150,000+ supporters vote for the Democrat; Travis Childers who is Pro-life and Pro-2nd Amendment. Those votes with 100,000 +/- Dem votes it’s Bye Bye Thad.

[Din Maker]

it doesn’t justify voting for the Dem.
