Democrats should go after Ted Cruz.
"The Week" ^ | 12.14.2017 | Ryan Cooper

Posted on 12/14/2017 7:58:39 AM PST by Carriage Hill

Democrats' shocking victory in the Alabama Senate special election undoubtedly has raised their potential list of seats they might win. If they can win in the Deep South, they can win anywhere.

High on the list of reach targets is Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who is up for re-election in 2018. Hillary Clinton did quite well in Texas, only losing by 9 points (better than she did in Iowa) — as compared to nearly 28 points in Alabama. What's more, Democrats have a solid candidate in the form of Rep. Beto O'Rourke from El Paso.

No, I am not the fool. I am merely pointing out Ted should have kept his big mouth shut on Judge Roy Moore. Glass houses and all..

You’re on the “Mr. Hyde” spectrum.

Ted Cruz will never be on the Mr. President spectrum.

That’s just dumb, you’re going to have to try harder. You just don’t have the natural gift of bumbling cluelessly into giving offense that your mentor Cruz does.

You’re being rabid in holding on to what you believe to be true when you have ZERO evidence and btw, I’m guessing you’ve never met the man so I’m just completely baffled how you continue to vomit all over any thread regarding him. I’m so done with you’re weird comments, placing false statements at my feet which I hadn’t even stated.

And to give you a clue, I’m not defending Moore as much as I’m attempting to give clarity to egregious claims tossed around as fact. You excel at using a very broad brush and might be ant to be careful, that approach tends to come back and bite ya.

However you reply to this, I’m not responding, go play with someone else.

Serious question for you, is that under the domain of the POTUS or does it fall to the state’s judiciary? Or, to the attorney general? What should President Trump do about it?

Literally everything that is not legislative nor Judicial is “under the domain of the POTUS.”

He is our chief executive (IOW he “executes” the action, usually by delegating it to his appropriate assistant.)

I would think Texas will be a dependable blue state in the next decade or so.

What proof do you have that he has made any “mistakes?”

Most of us see none.

There isn’t a decade of rule by mortal men left!

The “Kingdoms of men” end sharply at the “Day of Trumpets” in 2024, when planet Earth becomes The Kingdom of Yehova.

Curious if you know or have a link to some info.

How many events did Moore hold during the last 10 days or so of the Campaign?
He left the state and went to the Army/Navy game the weekend before the election.
So he blew a couple days there but I don’t think he did much campaigning that I find.

Thanks...
