OOPS! This should read:

“I’ve made not one but two prosecutors cry, one in open court, and reduced a senior police investigator to holding his head in his hands with nothing to say after striking the heart of his testimony, bit by bit.”

It’s late. I’ll let you get back to your claims to fame.

It’s more likely that Republicans will come to agreement about one issue very easily. That would be their opinion of Ted Cruz.

The SOB Cruz will get a different team of psychologists to analyze the data he buys from data miners and think that’ll fix everything. Unfortunately for him, like almost all the other graduates from Haarvard, he's positive the problem wasn't with him but with the way he packaged himself for the ignorant masses.

Unfortunately for him, most people now realize that's all Ted's been from the start, someone who packaged himself to market himself as something he's not.

Cruz's mask keeps slipping...the guy is really scary. During the campaign, he came through as an unmasked globalist and a discredited false messiah who had sealed his records to avoid scrutiny.

Cruz has the charm of oiled carrion and the self control of a colicky toddler. .....gotta get that on a tee shirt.

As far as his accomplishments, didn’t you read the article??? He returned to the Senate, split to Mexico, and returned to go to lunch - yes, lunch.

(Why can’t pols vacation in the USA? Especially if Texas is so great.)

Cruz-the-Liar had many supporters on FR before he
voted for SECRET ObamaTRADE for his Masters and wife.

At least a fart in an elevator dissipates with time. And it’s surely true that Texas has NEVER given this country ANYONE who was worth a $hit. Anyone remember that “paragon of virtue,” Lyndon Johnson? No, Ted Cruz should be pitched into the nearest sewage treatment pond and left to sink with the rest of the turds Texas has given us!

And while campaigning for down-ballot candidates, Cruz will never forgo an opportunity to knife Trump in the back, as he has become so practised and adept at doing.

No outsider has a resume if working for the Bushs and a wife who “ earns” 750K a year from Goldman Sachs for doing who knows what for the cause of conservative values ...

There is a big difference between being an antiestablishment crusader and being a loner soapbox speech giver hated by the establishment because you are a weird annoying self promoting azz hole

It’s a fair bet to question if Cruz can help anyone. It’s unlikely that any competitive candidate will ask for his help.

One reason is that he has failed so spectacularly that his brand has little practical value. A bigger reason is that who in their right mind would want to owe Cruz a political favor, and have him pull them into the abyss that is his credibility?

Cruz will have one hell of a task positioning for re-election. I would not be surprised if he declined to run for his Senate seat to avoid the political damage of losing it.

One of the great things about having a pariah like Cruz in the neighborhood is we can keep campaigning against him forever.

Another good thing about it is we have reliable allies. I'm sure McConnell dislikes him at least as much as anyone in the FR Theater of War.

We might consider a 5+ month hiatus in our war against him, however, and redirect some of that anti- energy toward clinton or Sanders or Biden or Warren...whoever the Democrats run.

There is also Gary Johnson. It's hard to believe he will maintain his 10% popularity if it's real today. Nevertheless, a vote for Johnson is a vote for clinton. We might invite Johnson supporters to help send clinton back to Chicago or Little Rock or Her Rock...wherever it is.

I am starting to think the MSM is doing all in its power to keep Cruz on the front page. He really helps us take our eyes from the goal.

Good for him, if he really does it.

Pulling together at election time is a bare minimum, and I will forget all his faults if he does this with energy.

He is an ineligible Cubanadian and after this campaign I would not ever vote for him for anything.

As Cruz preps for reelection in 2018 and eyes a 2020 presidential bid

Texans may remember in 2018 that their sitting Senator omitted mentioning in 2012 that he was Canadian. What's that old saying about "a lie of omission?"

Rafael won't be eligible for President in 2020, 2024, 2028, 2032, or ever.

I have to confess that I was a Cruz supporter at the beginning of this political season, but no more - ever. He demonstrated a side of himself that I’d rather not see again.
