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

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...

You don’t get it.

I am in the Houston-Beaumont area

have no idea who the right candidate may be but I suspect there is one out there that can
capitalize on Cruz’s actions todate.

By the way, Welcome to FR. It’s a good place to hang. I hope you enjoy it.

Well, I’ll probably vote for both of them.

Depends, of course, on who is running and for what.

A little tension and disagreement is healthier than a choir that sings together off-key.

I hate the NeverTrumpers at Redstate etc and I don’t like what Cruz did in Colorado or the Convention, but I can’t bring myself to saying that he shouldn’t be a senator.

Sarah never even made a full term.

And.....

Just an overhead and disparate comment or was it meant to assuage the disgust so many of us have for Cruz these days?
