Cruz is facing the prospect of a serious challenger after he upset some Republicans by expressing no support for presidential nominee Donald Trump in July at the party's national convention. U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul of Austin, who has been urged to take on Cruz, has not ruled out a run...

Hopefully Sarah will endorse somebody else and Cruz will be a one-term wonder.

Cornyn is paying back Cruz for not endorsing him.
Neither one should be re-elected.

I was for Ted two years ago and sent him money. Then he decided that he was a self-serving turd. The fact that he would prefer Hillary as President over Trump tells me everything I need to know. Evidently you’re a closet Lefty.

Only if he unhitches himself from the Cheap Labor Express.

Far too many of their elected are representing illegal aliens and their employers.

If a candidate runs against Cruz who is more consecutive than him, by all means support the most conservative. Good luck with that.

Yes. Assuming a Trump win, how many of the CLE folks will quickly fall into line and how many of them are the true believers (aka Kristol types)?
