U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s poll numbers have slid in the aftermath of his unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination for president, according to the new University of Texas/Texas Politics Project poll released Monday, leaving Gov. Greg Abbott far and away the most popular Republican in the state.
Abbott has an 11 percentage-point approval margin among the general electorate — calculated by taking those who like what he’s doing minus those who don’t — and a 65 percentage-point net approval rating among Republicans. Cruz has a 39-point net approval margin among Republicans, but, among the broader electorate, he has an approval margin of -18 points.
That’s the biggest deficit for the big-name Republicans the Texas Politics Project named in the survey...
Those weren’t statements by me. Those were examples of Cruz’s lies.
In spite of all the chest pounding Texans, there’s never been a Congressman, Senator or President from Texas that didn’t turn out to be a huge disappointment at some point.
Why they are STILL so tied to Teddy, I do not understand at all.
Good luck EVER seeing that money again; Jane.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...but that’s just it....Teddy is STUPID, very, very, VERY STUPID and had as horrible a political tin ear and John, I WAS IN NAM, Kerry !
Many of us here warned that the type of dirty campaign Cruz ran
during the Presidential primary would hurry him politically.
Looks like we were right and the sycophants were wrong.
BRAVO...very well stated and 100% accurate.
Sorry, Cruz isn't great, he's just another GOPe, GS, CFR Trojan Horse, and BTW JFK was a D, and Cruz is no JFK.
LOL!
You NEVER don’t know what you are talking about ;)
Kid.....get over yourself, wake up, and pay attention to your elders, who know what they're talking about! Now get this through your empty head, cultist; TED CRUZ IS NOT NOW, NOR HAS HE EVER REALLY BEEN A CONSERVATIVE AND HE HAS DONE NOTHING BUT LIE HIS HEAD OFF, TRYING FOR EVER HIGHER AND HIGHER POLITICAL POWER AND POSITION !
I'm fully aware of what people of ALL ages, in Texas think; unlike you!
And FYI: "FOLLOWING OLD WAYS" is precisely what twee Teddy has been doing.
Teddy is 45; how old are you ?
Psssssssssssssssst.....Trump isn't a globalist and neither am I ! OTOH, Teddy always has been one ! Just look at his actual record!
Teddy "relates" to almost NOBODY, except those who enjoy being fooled and lied to and conned! He hid behind many masks and/or lied, by both omission and commission, first to the good people of Texas and then to the entire populace of America. You are a political naif and a damned fool!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...you also LOVE Rubio? Good GOD, you don't belong on FR; you belong in a preschool class !
MUSIC TO MY EARS!!
It would be nice to have an adult representing TEXAS in the US Senate, a grown up, without Butt Hurt and sour grapes defining him.
Cruz never wanted a US Senate seat, we know that. Cruz wanted a US Senate Spring Board to the presidency.
Who the Hell is Cruz, anyway? What did he ever accomplish for anyone but himself? He’s a calculating climber, in the mold of Hillary Clinton.
That’s pretty rank, when you can match Hillary Clinton in cold calculation and climbing.
He’s nobody.
I'm not "gloating"; I'm patting myself on the back and tooting my own horn, since nobody else is going to do that for me. :-)
You need far more help than I can give you, with a post or three, and I suggest that you get some.
Maybe Dan Patrick will primary Cruz, if Abbott is not picked VP, by Trump. Cruz needs to go away.
Unlike many posters ( no, not you! ), if I don't know the topic, I don't say anything about it. I might post an opinion, which is always based on facts, but when I state facts, they ARE facts!
Questions: How does a “new generation conservative” differ from an “old generation conservative?”
As a “younger generation” member, do you support his positions—you know 500% expansion of H-1B visas, TTP, etc.?
Those positions are job killers...
SPOT ON......BRAVA !
Well funny man, what don’t you like about them?
The entire world media declared: "He only talked about himself and his stupid golf resort."
Lie.
“but there are other republican candidates that are better than them.
“Who?
