A strange one, this. Rep. Steve Stockman said (sometimes ghost-tweeted) fiery things, but never really bothered to run a campaign, as far as anyone was able to tell....

I’d love 2 Ted Cruz from Texas...If I lived there, I would not have voted for Cornyn in the primary if he were against a Ted Cruz...or someone like him. That stated, he has won the primary, and I’d rather have Cornyn than a Dem...
Mark Warner was supposed to be a conservative democrat in Virginia...You could argue he was the 60th vote for Obamacare.
Dems are worse than the GOP, almost every time...doesn’t matter who the Republica Lite member is...Even Juan McCain is better than every single Democrat in the Congress...if we have a chance to rid ourselves of McCain in a primary, then I am all for it...but in the General, go with the most conservative...
This must hurt, from Ted Cruz today:
“Congratulations to every Republican who won the primary last night. Three, in particular, deserve special mention,” Cruz wrote Wednesday on Facebook, before mentioning Attorney General Greg Abbott (a candidate for governor), Cornyn, and George P. Bush (candidate for land commissioner).
“John is a friend, and a good man. He’s earned considerable respect in the Senate. We have not agreed on everything, but we have agreed on the vast majority of issues. Together, we’re a strong and effective team for Texas,” Cruz wrote, later adding that he is “proud” to endorse Cornyn.

Cruz did the right thing in being a party man and in refusing to endorse anyone in the primary, which is basically a family fight. He’s a smart politician.
And in a primary. No real conservative would need to shoot all of his wad in a primary. Good luck in the real election.
The elation of flushing a RINO is temporary, and the pain of a Democrat senator lasts 6 long years.

Didn’t Cruz endorse a select few or a least some Judicial races? Seems like I read that some where.
I think he made a few endorsements for lesser seats, but not in the gubernatorial or senate races.

Those endorsements are coming forth now.

Cruzs post-primary endorsement of Cornyn
snip
Hes earned considerable respect in the Senate. We have not agreed on everything, but
we have agreed on the vast majority of issues, Cruz posted Wednesday on Facebook.
He added that he was proud to endorse Cornyn along with two other GOP nominees:
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott for governor, and George P. Bush for land commissioner.
My position all along you and I have had this conversation a hundred times
is that Im likely going to stay out of incumbent Republican primaries. Its no
longer an incumbent Republican primary, Cruz said. From Day 1 John Cornyn and I have
had a good working relationship. We have been friends.
We have agreed on the vast
majority of issues. I think were a strong and effective team working for Texas.
He noted that even without an endorsement, he did donate to Cornyns campaign.
That was last May, when his political action committee sent a $2,500 check.
