[RKBA Democrat]

Sen. Cruz has made himself a lot of enemies. Several that he didn’t need to make. There are a lot of ambitious people in a state the size of Texas.

Ultimately, a lot of whether he keeps his senate seat is going to boil down to : what has he accomplished while in office? What record of success can he point to?

Whether he realizes it or not, he is running for VP or scotus. And he has probably scuttled both of those opportunities as well.

Yep. And he's hurting himself at this point. How long the people remember is to be determined. I can picture a range of how this plays out, from "minor damage" to "Titanic."

SCOTUS is a good place for misfits. He has a chance at that, although the dysfunctional Senate could, by will of 41 DEMs, prevent him from being appointed.
