Cornyn Won't Endorse Cruz in 2018 Primary
The Texas Tribune ^ | Sept. 7, 2016 | Patrick Svitek

Posted on 09/10/2016 11:28:56 AM PDT by monkapotamus

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn is declining to endorse fellow Texas Republican Ted Cruz for re-election to the Senate in 2018, just as Cruz did not back Cornyn for another term two years ago...

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...

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.


^^THAT^^

Ditto.

He’s all but kissed her evil ring. Wait....maybe he has :- O

You’re saying that Eddie Munster should put his own “feelings” ahead of the well-being of the country.

You’re the same kind of self-serving turd as Eddie.

Exactly. Too bad he turned out to be a complete loser, but that wasn’t her fault.

Noop

Your saying that we should all have a gang mentality.

Who cares if Ted refuses to kiss the ring?
He never said he would not back Trump but we can all understand that it would be a bitter pill for him.

I back Trump at this point, for the alternative is darkness.

“He is nothing but a turd blossom”

Poster’s have forgotten the GWB tag...TURD BLOSSOM, we need to start using that again...

and to add, the TURD BLOSSOM drives most of us bat crazy with his little white board on Fox News.

It angers me that the most conservative candidate to come along in my lifetime is openly mocked and shunned.

You just said it again with different words that it’s OK for Eddie Munster to put his own “feelings” ahead of the good of the country.

It doesn’t matter though. Ted will never hold elective office again.

Cruz has read the Constitution.

Cornyn, I have my doubts.

It angers me that a Cuban born in Canada thinks he can be President.

I know he has read it, but does he understand it?

Cubanadians are not eligible to be President.

It angers me that there are still people willingly obtuse about Cruz.

Win or lose in 2016, one of the big goals for 2018is to primary Cruz and send that asshat back to the private sector where he has to work for a living.

Assuming Trump is elected, by November 2018 the Cheap Labor Express will be long dead, so I doubt if this will be a factor in the midterms.

I expect Trump's first hundred days to be a swamp-draining the likes of which DC has never seen before. This is not a man who will take years to "study" problems.

TRUMP was correct when he said “LYING TED”. I will not
EVER vote for Cruz again after wasting my vote in our
early primary. - TRUMP gave him the rope when he gave him
the stage at the convention; and CRUZ hung himself. (I
think CRUZ probably thought his speech was going to result
in himself being “drafted”.) Now, as far as I go, CRUZ can
make a living lawyering instead of politicking. - Next day,
CRUZ just DOUBLED DOWN & showed his butt. I don’t care what
excuse a person gives for LYING. It doesn’t work for me.
