Is there anyone here besides the 2016 Cruz haters who think this guy will take Ted Cruz’s senate seat? Bueller? Bueller?

I wasn’t particularly happy with Cruz in 2016. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I hated him, that is a pretty strong emotion that should be saved only for a select few, but yep, didn’t care for him all that much.

I think that Cruz will retain his seat, and I also hope that he will.

This nation needs nothing further from the Democrat party or anyone in it.

LOL...the Cruz haters won't like it if their dreams come true and Beto makes history. Cruz has been supportive of Trump's agenda over the past 18 months.

No one from El Paso has ever won a statewide election, and Beto's not going to be the first. When Ted starts actively campaigning, his lead will go from 10% to close to 15%.

C'mon, man. Was that really necessary?

The past is passed, or at least it should be.

I think if Cruz takes his re-election for granted, he could lose. The polls are very close right now. Plus Texas is getting closer to being purple each month as massive illegal immigratikn continues and a massive influx of Californians into Texas. It could be a blue state by 2020 or 2024. It’s rapidly going the way of former red states Colorado and Virginia

there is ZERO enthusiasm on the GOP side for Cruz, and his antics pushing Mike Lee for SCOTUS didn't help. He's got a real fight on his hands.

I suspect Donald Trump (and many others) would personally relish seeing Cruz lose. However, post-Alabama, the President (and many others) knows losing this seat to a Dem isn't good on a number of levels. This will be reinforced during this Confirmation hearing which will be a cakewalk compared to that for RBG or any other liberal justice (even Sotomayor is reportedly not in perfect health).

Trump has pretty good instincts. My suspicion is he is letting all sorts of stupid Dem money flow in to Texas during the summer vs where it could probably help Dems more (i.e. VA). Once the campaign heats up, he will throw a few Tweets toward Cruz, say a few nice things and maybe even make a stop or two at Cruz rallies.

At that point Cruz' re-election is secured, millions of statist dollars are locked into a fruitless effort, we get a 54-46 R-D Senate followed by articles in Vox and Pollutico asking "how could Dems have been so stupid?"
