This was how we got the Canadian Ted Cruz into the Senate. The very popular Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst was running and Cruz managed to get enough votes to force the primary, then with a motivated base and a special primary (which low info voters don’t vote in), he took the prize.
Where do you live? David Dewhurst was a middle of the road GOPe hack that Texas conservatives rightly rejected. You must be a fan of Corker and Rubio too.
Nonsense. Dewhurst was the GOPe candidate, who VASTLY outraised Ted Cruz in campaign funds but still got beaten by Ted Cruz because Cruz was the only true conservative in the elections.
