Ted Cruz is excellent.

He is certainly the best senator in the Senate.

He won several supreme court cases because you are wrong.

He actually defeated the Bush administration on the question of whether Texas could execute an illegal immigrant who committed a murder in state.

he also won major cases for religious liberty in front of the court.

So unlike all his critics, he has actually done major things for conservatives.

Let’s be honest.

The back biting non-substantive style hating on Cruz while ignoring his overwhelming substantive successes are a big part of why he did not win bigger in Texas.

When Beto defeats the moderate Cornyn in 2020, the faux conservatives hating on Cruz will get their just desserts.

I was very glad to vote again for Cruz. He is excellent and truly conservative unlike so many pretenders.

Well stated.

I consider Cruz the best Senator in DC.
And I am glad he is my Senator.

What you say is true. I find it unfortunate he is so unlikable for non political reasons - seems like a very large unforced error perhaps a character flaw to be such an ass.

That stunt at the convention cemented many people opinion of him as a person. Yes people will vote for him but I'd imagine many who do - don't much like him which makes generating enthusiasm around his candidacy much more difficult.

I think the lesson here is don't be a dick it'll cost you votes. This among other reasons is why I can never run for political office

You have to win to get elected, and Ted barely beat a lunatic liberal IN TEXAS. Ted has the JD and temperament to be a good Judge. As much as I wish people would vote on issues and voting records, vast numbers of people in our idiocracy vote based on Charisma, looks, social pressure and personality. Texas is getting too purple to run boring, awkward, uncharismatic candidates like Cruz. Same goes for Georgia and Florida, where lunatics came within a hair of winning against milquetoast Republicans, and AZ where we lost a perpetually RED seat to a socialist.

Define “true conservative” because Cruz isn’t one

You can’t be the “establishment GOPe pick” for president and be the outsider conservative at the same time

He outed himself

And he wrecked himself

He tried to steal the people’s vote by stealing Trump’s delegates, the reason why Trump got tangled with the Manafort character in the first place, thanks a lot Cruzer the sore loser

Beto sucks and will lose against Cornyn, he probably won’t even run again. Who knows. I thought he was going to be president now? Cause he is like a Kennedy! The media is drooling
