... What to watch: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said he is staying neutral, rather than banding with leadership to back his Texas colleague.
"Both John and Ken are friends of mine," Cruz told reporters on Wednesday. "I have worked closely with both of them. I respect them both and I trust the voters of Texas to make that decision."

An OUTSTANDING development IMHO. We may finally be throwing out the trash in Texas.
I think it’ll happen but let us not be complacent.
“I respect them both...”
Not me or a millions of others, Cornyn is a perfect example of why this country is such a mess.
Way to go, Cruz. That’s what the GOP does - stay “nuetral.”. As in neutered .
A veritable paragon of courage. /massive eyeroll
Cornyn begged for support from Cruz.
This was a very senatorial “FU” to Cornyn.
You have made a correct statement.
lol....
Ted sees what’s happening. Writing on the wall :D
Not endorsing the other Senator from his own party in his own state is a huge non endorsement.
Cruz is showing his true colors by NOT opposing an obvious Deep State RINO (Cornyn)
He’s in a difficult space but a non-endorsement speaks volumes?
About the best that can be expected of a fellow sitting Senator.
no- Senators are expected to support incumbent. Payback for Cornyns less than enthusiastic support for Sen. Cruz in past election as well as 2018. Pyback is a Hillary Johnny C.
‘I respect them both..’
“Not me or a millions of others, Cornyn is a perfect example of why this country is such a mess.”
Ted Cruz was supposed to be a great president. People just so wanted to support him. Rush was really behind him, so disappointed when ‘the Trumpists’ get Trump ahead of his guy Ted Cruz
Cruz started blathering about H1B visas, on the campaign trail.
Then saying things against Trump that went too far solidifying an anti Trump position that would keep him off the Trump team.
Now he can’t be nasty the way he was against Trump who’s been working for the American people and say anything, not nasty, but negative against disgusting epitome of RINO, Corbin, supporting Paxton who is great
Cruz, who left us here for Cancun while we lived 3 days in sub freezing temps for, in my case, no electricity
Like a lukewarm disappointment, has nothing bad to say about repeated disgusting disappointment Corbin. Who never supported Cruz’ supposed conservative issues
Ick
“ About the best that can be expected of a fellow sitting Senator
Cruz has gone out of his way to not support Trump
Corbin is a disgusting RINO and Cruz is ok as neutral.
That right there is everything wrong with republicans
Buuulechhh!
God does not appreciate lukewarm faith or responses, Senator. One man, Paxton is clearly best for the role: choose and choose wisely...not by man’s standards, but with God’s.
But as a rule sitting Senators and Reps don’t endorse in primaries against their current peers. I wish it were different, but that’s how the vast majority of them roll.
Why the excuses?
He insulted the crap out of Trump when he wasn’t supposed to
Not excuses, just an observation of reality.
Believe me, I’m no Cruz fan.
