Sorry the records of both cause me to lean towards Cruz as the better candidate.
Electing Dewhurst would have a negative effect on the State of Texas.
Sorry, change incumbent to highly connected moderate GOP operative.
If we are going to go there, Cruz's father was in prison in Cuba as a young man, beaten and tortured before he escaped and came to America.
If Dewhurst wins, my expectations will, unfortunately, be realized.
He may not be an "elite", but his GOPe is pretty loud.
“He may not be an “elite”, but his GOPe is pretty loud.”
You say that just because you want to believe it. It’s not true, though. In fact, Cruz has the Bush endorsement.
No conservative who has reviewed the records of the two candidates could possible call Cruz the “better candidate”. Unless they just prefer Ivy-League Lawyers with Goldman-Sachs connections over veteran, native-born, Texas-product- producing Texans with leadership, executive, and legislative experience.
Never said that Dewhurst ran soft nice loving ads. Said they are truthful.
Neither did I imply that Cruz is an “elite,” I stuck to rebuttal of your claim that Dewhurst is.
13 years in politics, beginning in mid-life, is nothing for Dewhurst to be ashamed of. He has lead a partisan Senate through runaway Dems, two budget crises, and our immigration pressures from DC.
Unfortunately, until last fall, Cruz has no record, other than being assigned to defend the laws that Dewhurst passed in the Texas Senate. Laws that even Cruz claims are not moderate.
