“Hopefully he will run for Cruz’s Senate Seat.”
Why? Cruz is doing great things in the Senate now. Of the two TX senators, Cornyn needs to go long before Cruz.

Someone needs to troll DU with a Rick Perry "Miss Me Yet?" image.

He gave a rousing State of the State speech Tuesday in which he scalded the notion of sanctuary cities. He received numerous LOUD standing ovations.
I found it humorous afterward to discover it was “mooselimb day” at the capital. I don’t know who the hell came up with the idea of a day for those terrorists but hopefully it was so they could hear the governor excoriate terrorists AND illegals in Texas. If they listened to Governor Abbott they got told how the cow eats the cabbage in more than one area.

Trump has his back. Federal funds soon to follow.
What we need is a few well publicized perp walks showing lib sheriffs and mayors being led out in handcuffs.

“Abbott’s announcement comes as Hernandez enacted a new policy Wednesday under which she will detain inmates on behalf of federal immigration officials only when they are charged with murder, sexual assault or human smuggling.”
Attention all illegals: free flat screens and booze in Austin. Have at it.

I could not agree more! Cornyn needs to be our focus for replacement but we currently need Governor Abbott in Austin. I do appreciate him and if he continues matching actions to campaign promises he should go far. But for now, he has governor work left to do. Legislature is in session.
And good grief, Cruz made loud, in our face, errors but Cornyn is quietly undermining us as all good Rinos do. He’s the viper.

Cruz made another beautiful speech in support of Sessions.
To: Wneighbor
Yeah, Cornyn gets all conservative sounding as election time approaches, but as soon as he gets reelected, he reverts to RINO type.

Why don't they simply pass a law that states that victims of crimes perpetrated by persons, who would have otherwise been deported, may sue municipalities, that failed to follow federal immigration laws?
Pass such a law, and cities such as Austin will be bankrupt in a short period of time, and will be forced to follow federal law.

Cruz burnt his bridges with me when he stabbed Trump in the back with his convention speech.
But, he still has time to do something to make up for it in the Senate.

Well, Trump burned bridges with me, a bunch of times, during the primaries, but I’m glad he’s President. And he has time to make up for those things as President. Works both ways. Cruz is a good ally to have in the Senate and on TV, as he has shown recently.

Not as bad as What Trump said about Cruz’ wife and father.
Besides, Cruz campaigned for Trump.
The feud is over except for a few bitter dudes.

I was told yesterday that some of those Anonymous Types (Complete with Guy Fawkes masks) showed up in Northern Syria and proceed to try to tell the embattled Kurds how they should handle things. Kurds are willing to accept almost any help, but the reaction was disbelief. They told me the response was, You're nuts. And the US Lefties are Nuts.

Absolutely! Cornyn needs to go...yesterday. The longer he stays, the more he slides left. Not so with Cruz. I don’t understand the Cruz haters.
