“The worst thing about being a conservative or a GOPer is that you can’t say you’re sorry… because one error condemns you for life.”
Almost did for Ted, his 2016 behavior at the RNC Convention.
And two more since. Jetting off to Cancun while Texans were literally freezing to death, and now this crap.
Bottom line - the GOP base WILL NOT fully turn out for him in 2024 and thus there is no way he can win in November of that year, not in Texas at least.
His run was good, but we lose with him in Nov. 2024, it won’t even be close.
I seriously doubt that he will either present himself or be the GOP candidate for 2024, and I think we’ve got to stop worrying about this.
We need to encourage him to do the right thing now, and I think he’s trying to do it.
I was never a Cruz fan, btw, because he was too personally focused and inconsistent. I didn’t like Trump either because I thought he wasn’t a real conservative, but as a New Yorker (now living in Florida) I saw what he had done with things like Wollman Rink and other stalled city projects that he had either got going or personally funded, and that convinced me.
So go by their actions.
