GOP sources: Rick Perry encouraged Michael McCaul to challenge Ted Cruz
WFAA 8 ABC ^ | 31 OCTOBER 2016 | TEXAS TRIBUNE

Posted on 10/31/2016 5:33:54 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

(TEXAS TRIBUNE) Late this summer, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry strongly encouraged U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul to challenge U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz's re-election bid in 2018, according to GOP sources.

The encouragement, which was relayed to The Texas Tribune by two Republican sources familiar with the correspondence, came around the same time that McCaul, an Austin Republican, emerged as a top potential challenger to Cruz's re-election efforts, amid an outcry among many grassroots conservatives over Cruz's decision not to endorse presidential nominee Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention.

Oh get a grip. EQ is right. You are a goon destroying our country by being a lover of Cruz. Cruz is a sick creep. I would vote Satan over Cruz any day of the week.

If there was any solid recognition of our need to defeat Hillary and all she stands for, Cruz would be our candidate right now.

We have a nation of fools.

I hope we can pull this out, but what next?

The world’s economy is on butterfly farts sewed together with spider webs.

The Muslims have total control of Europe, and close to control in Canada and the US.

The FBI pretends to be scanning emails, rather than prosecuting the Clintons for their pedophile picadillos.

Everything is rosy, right?

I am hoping that this is one of many names that will be looked at in the next 2 years. They have to have the BEST conservative to beat that creepy liberal Cruz. Shouldn’t be to difficult. Cruz is horrible. One of the worst in the Senate easily.

I’m basically with Trump on trade.....so McCaul is less than impressive on this issue. We all know what Cruz pulled on voting for TPP.

You could not have been a Cruz supporter if you would now vote for Abortion Barbie Davis over Cruz! Either that or your medication has worn off !! Cruz will win again and it won’t be close !!

Yes! I frankly don’t follow McCaul on trade. Thx for the tip.

And.. the bonus with McCaul is he isn’t an azz hat.

>> “ We all know what Cruz pulled on voting for TPP.” <<

Obviously you have no idea.

he has handed Trump the only tool that stands a chance of letting him do what he has bombastically declared he would do.

Congress will be doing their best to make Trump fail, but Cruz has given him the aces he needs to beat them at their own game.

Unfortunately he meant to give those aces to himself or Jeb Bush. Well, maybe even Hillary.

We have more than our share of closet lefties, and God haters here.

Cruz lives in their empty heads rent free, and plays with their entropy injectors daily.

Yes, we would be vastly better off if we had Cruz, but the MSM spent 7.5 billion to deny us that.

Jeb? LOL.

Thank you God we do not have Cruz. That would be the end of our Republic.

After all this time, and just a week from an election where Hillary could become President, you are still shilling for Cruz? Incredible.

“Cruz is the only consistent protector of our constitution, and our rights.

Without his constant effort, we would no longer be a sovereign nation. We would be without any gun rights, and subject to the world court.”

You are, quite literally, a delusional cultist.

Now I shall add ‘idolator’ to ‘delusional cultist’.

Truly, you are mentally or morally diseased, or both.

I was wrong on my recollection of the family name - was thinking of someone else.

Good to see you too! I don’t have much time to be here anymore.

At least with Davis what you see is what you get. Cruz not so much. Biggest disappointment in a generation.
