GOP sources: Rick Perry encouraged Michael McCaul to challenge Ted Cruz
WFAA 8 ABC ^ | 31 OCTOBER 2016 | TEXAS TRIBUNE

(TEXAS TRIBUNE) Late this summer, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry strongly encouraged U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul to challenge U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz's re-election bid in 2018, according to GOP sources.

The encouragement, which was relayed to The Texas Tribune by two Republican sources familiar with the correspondence, came around the same time that McCaul, an Austin Republican, emerged as a top potential challenger to Cruz's re-election efforts, amid an outcry among many grassroots conservatives over Cruz's decision not to endorse presidential nominee Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention.

Perry has proven himself a buffoon and a simpleton.

We remember his debate performances.

I just did a quick perusal of his record, seems pretty conservative and most importantly, NOT a Cheap Labor Express stooge.

Thanks. Immigration is always the “tell” with these people. Never forget watching Cruz & Beck down on the border handing out teddy-bears to the invaders.

At this point I will take Wendy Davis over Cruz. And I was a big Cruz fan.

Any buffoon and simpleton who wants to take down cruz is A OK in my book.

Wendy Davis huh? Pro abortion anti-American. That may be the dumbest thing I have ever read on FR. That statement probably speaks more about your judgement than about whether or not a conservative should challenge Cruz.

Kook Aid man? Cruz is finished. You spent the entire primary season shilling for him with your over the top bs, and you still don’t get it after Jim gave you the boot.

Cruz is a globalist, and the nation has moved on from Bush and his stooges. Anyone but Cruz. His treachery runs too deep.

He is that terribly handsome congressman serving on Homeland Security Committee and frequent FOX news guest on the border issue. He comes from money, I read, and would be interested in running, IF, if there is plenty of PAC money to mount a solid challenge against the Wall Street money Cruz has put away.

I will actively support any challenger against Cruz.

It will be terribly expensive battle in Texas if Castro from San Antonio runs. Those Castro boys are being propped up and groomed as mules for the socialist Democrats trying to turn TEXAS blue.

He’s barely lifted a finger to help us defeat Hillary Criminal. If such limp wristed conservatism is our future we have no hope.
