Ted Cruz Is Readying for 2020
The Atlantic ^ | Jul 6, 2016 | Nora Kelly

Posted on 07/21/2016 7:18:25 AM PDT by detective

Ted Cruz’s 2016 presidential campaign ended just two months ago. But his campaign for next cycle is already getting started.

According to a report Wednesday in National Review, the Texas senator is making big changes inside and outside of his Senate office to ready his political operation for a 2020 run. Cruz has been “conspicuously silent” recently, the report notes, but behind the scenes has “supervis[ed] the vast expansion of his electoral enterprise, integrating the operations of his campaign team,” and has instituted staffing changes to reflect his long-term goals.

Among them is Cruz’s decision to bring on a longtime Republican campaign operative—with no Hill-office experience—as his Senate chief of staff. His current chief is departing to work as a senior adviser to two new Cruz-aligned nonprofit groups

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 15m15 minutes ago

Ted Cruz talks about the Constitution but doesn't say that if the Dems win the Presidency, the new JUSTICES appointed will destroy us all!

He won’t even exist to 2020. President Trump will have Cruz tried, convicted, and executed for the treason he has committed (giving cover for GOPe to pillage America, sabotaging conservative campaigns in illegal manners, etc.).

Hewitt is a loser, just as Cruz is.

“10:11: On MSNBC, Hugh Hewitt claims Ted Cruz “hit a home run” last night. He claims Cruz “set the bar very high for Donald Trump tonight.” [Memo to Hewitt: voters don’t care about how “well” someone sounds while litigating cases before the Supreme Court. Sounding “well” probably means a candidate will have a tough time connecting with regular people who don’t speak like lawyers.]”

“I feel sorry for him he is clearly in pain. “

Maybe hara-kiri would help... oh, wait. That would require a shred of honor.

I can’t understand why Cruz wouldn’t wait until 2024.

He’ll never succeed now that he’s burned his bridges. Sore Loserman for sure.

I contributed early on to the Cruz campaign, he lost my favor when he blamed Trump for the Chicago bullies.
I would never vote for him, not just because of his snarky speech but especially because he used that dead cop’s daughter as a prop in his speech.

Yup. After all the other can’t-i-dates gave Trump such crap about signing the “pledge” guess who the asshats are that didn’t uphold their end of the bargain. Didn’t notice rubio endorsing him in his video taped appearance either. Did I miss it? Sad,sad state of affairs. Guess they’d rather have hildabama as the commanderette in chief than someone who ain’t worried about enriching themselves.

Correct. He lied about supporting the nominee, thus the moniker “Lyin’ Ted” will follow him to his grave.

Yes, that is the way they do it south of the border. It is his genes kicking in.

CRUZ’S 2020 $$$ drive arrived in my inbox less than an hour after his ‘campaign’ speech. I pushed the UNSUBSCRIBE button.

Well, I doubt Sheldon Adelson will be financing him.

Well, I think I heard that he was not invited to some Adelson get-together last night. He just lost a lot of funding.

I do not think he feels pain like normal people. Something is very wrong with his wiring. I noticed it months/years ago. He is not right in the head. I think some type of personality disorder.

[He claims Cruz “set the bar very high for Donald Trump tonight.”]

Did anyone actually listen to CRUZ last night? I was too busy waiting for him to declare “I endorse DONALD TRUMP/MIKE PENCE for President and Vice President of the United States.

Payback is a bitch, and if Cruz doesn’t think that a lot of people will be more than happy to wait until 2020 before delivering it to him then he’s delusional.
