After Ted Cruz beat the Republican Establishment Dewhurst he went on to defeat the Democrat Sadler to get his senate seat.

Go Ted Cruz!! Vote Ted Cruz!!

The "consistent" conservative.

[Paine in the Neck]

Dewhurst lost because he was a state-level version of McConnell/Boehner. A deal-making drunk who saw his role as holding back the people from control of their government. He was more allied with the TX ‘Rats than with the bulk of his own party.

Dewhurst loves the mud. He could not even wait until the race to start before he started making stuff up and throwing it everywhere.
Plus, he is Rick Perry’s BFF.

Some conservatives by 2010 had begun to figure out KBH, but whether it would have been enough to unseat her in 2012, had she run, will never be known.

There's another reason Cruz won over Dewhurst in 2012, Cruz didn't have that fruitcake Glenn Beck down there in Texas undercutting everything Cruz was trying to accomplish.

Unfortunately, not so this time around in Iowa:



Even Ted doesn't look too happy in that picture.

They left out the part where Ted put in all of his life savings and didn’t take a penny from those filthy New York bankers.

Dewhurst slung mud from the beginning. He was Trump before Trump.

[tennmountainman]

Dewhurst is no Trump.

I voted for Cruz because David Dewhurst while sitting in the Lt. Governors seat here in Texas helped block many conservative bills. Unless it was election time, he treated folks with contempt if they conveyed any sort of conservatism. Kay Bailey Hutchison was moderate at best. Go along to get along republican up in the senate. Dewhurst would have picked up her mantle.

Then.....Along came Ted. Constitutional Conservative that has kept every promise he made while running for the senate to the citizens of Texas.

After Ronald Reagan, Ted Cruz was the best vote I've ever cast.

[Mariner]

It should be obvious to everyone that Cruz won that primary narrowly because he hid the fact that he was still a Canadian citizen.

And, he'll be accused of fraud for it in his next Senate run...costing him the office.

He can stick to his story that he didn't know, but there's not 10 Texans that will believe him.

Cruz won because Sarah Palin came to Texas endorsed him and campaigned for him.
