Ted Cruz poised to challenge Trump in Texas
Politico ^ | Kyle Cheney

Ted Cruz isn’t giving up.

While Donald Trump dispatches three advisers to Texas’s convention in Dallas this week and makes a pitch for party unity, his team will be running up against a Cruz operation that is still maneuvering to stuff the state’s delegation with allies the senator could call on to snub the presumptive nominee.

“We have a busy weekend planned,” said a source familiar with the Cruz campaign’s plans.

Cruz is scheduled to deliver an address at the Texas convention after a week of hinting he could jump back into the presidential contest and urging activists to thwart the New Yorker’s takeover of the GOP’s policy platform. And despite dropping out of the race more than a week ago, the vanquished presidential contender has deployed at least one paid adviser to the Texas Republican convention – Tyler Norris, his state director. (Trump has three advisers: state director Joshua Jones, deputy director Eric Mahroum and Houston-area director Kayla Hensley.)

Hope you’re right and that Cruz isn’t secretly planning an attempted steal.

There must be a few people that still like Cruz. I guess he is trying to remedy that.

I give Ted Cruz credit. He achieved in one election cycle something that took Harold Stassen decades to accomplish.

Elected federal folks can’t be recalled, so the next option is to primary them

Why do you think Cruz owes Trump anything? What has Trump ever done to earn his loyalty? Indeed, what had Trump ever done in a long life for anyone outside of his family? He was a good father but certainly not a good husband. To whom has he contributed except to pols with their hands out? Who? He avoided time in service, although veterans, for whom he has given almost nothing materially, probably appreciate his honestly in admit that his heroism in the 70s extended to avoiding STPs. But how has your Caesar benefitted the public good so that we might expect him to have that in mind now? I fear all he wants is power and adulation. I hope to God that if he wins, he proves me wrong.

>>He lied.

It’s those unwavering, uncompromising conservative principles, I tell ya.

Fake, phony, fraud. So glad he ripped his mask off for all to see.

You are quite normal and that is a very normal and common reaction to the booger eater creep. I found him to be a repellent fraud from the start. I’m glad my gut instincts were confirmed.

Any way to do a recall election on him? If I lived there, I’d be looking into it for sure at this point.

Please stop posting Trump trash talk on this PRO TRUMP site.

How many times does JR have to repeat he does not want his site to be used in any way for negative Trump comments which aid and abet HRC?

Please, as JR says, TAKE IT ELSEWHERE.

Thank you.

Thank you for the affirmation. It was a little more personally snarky of me than I like to be but I can’t help it. I thought we were done with him for awhile. No such luck.
