Cruz would have to remove all doubt in Texan voter’s minds that he’s one big blackmail-able hot mess if he ever expects to get reelected as State Senator. Not to mention the dirty tactics he used for months in his campaign; his extremist Dominionist belief system; and his irritating preacher-approach on the stump.
But worst of all was his lack of good judgment. He could have had it all if he had reconciled himself to be Trump’s VP, as Trump was insinuating. But either he didn’t have enough good sense to see it, or he had handlers who refused to let him do it. If you have any other explanations for all of the above that make sense, then sure, I may consider voting for him again his next time around. Maybe.
Ted Cruz was never a state senator.
