Yet he got a lower percentage of the 2012 Texas vote than Mediocre Mitt.
“Yet he got a lower percentage of the 2012 Texas vote than Mediocre Mitt.”
THIS is your knock on Sen Cruz? You have got to be kidding me? Cruz was running in a 9 person primary against a Goliath in Texas politics, sitting Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst. He gathered enough votes to get into a runoff with Dewhurst and Sen Cruz beat Goliath in the runoff?
Can Sen Cruz defeat Goliath? He has for.
Moreover. BECAUSE Sen Cruz defeated Dewhurst in 2012, there was blood in the water. Dewhurst faced a four man primary for his Lt. Gov (the most powerful elected position in Texas) job in 2014 and lost to State Sen Dan Patrick (arguably tea party and definitely outsider).
Ted Cruz set the stage in 2012 to retiring Dewhurst in 2014.
Everything I hope to see in a 2016 Cruz candidacy has been done before, in 2012 and 2014 in Texas as a result of Sen. Cruz’ tenacity as a candidate.
If this is all you got, you got nothing. I’ll be sending Presidential Candidate Cruz $1000.00 this week, and more is coming.
