“I’m in Florida with little Marco,gang of eight,no show Senator and he will win primary because old people know his name.”
It’s tough to unseat any incumbent politician, but it’s been done many times before. Especially if that politician has committed enough public transgressions against the voters’ trust, as Ted has.
Ted broke with long standing convention and tradition, when he failed to show grace and good sportsmanship after exiting the race. He steadfastly refused to acknowledge Trump as the clear winner of the primary, and never once signalled his support of the presumptive nominee, as most others before him have done.
His petulant silence acted as a green light to his diehard supporters, to continue their fractious and destructive efforts to deny the nomination to Trump.
That didn’t happen in a vacuum. Voters across Texas saw it all happen in real time, and it colored their thinking about him.
Ted’s support among Texans is weak. He won his home state in the 2016 primary by an historically thin margin. In fact, he won by the slimmest margin of any Republican presidential candidate in history.
And That was before he showed the world what a malignant narcissist he is.
I wouldn’t put good money on Ted winning re-election to the Senate in 2018.
