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.

Can’t stand Cruz, but may have to hold my nose. I hope they waste a ton of money.

Yup!!!

Actually, Cruz was a Never Trumper and he was ineligible to run for POTUS just like the America Hating, Piece of Work, Imposter Obama!!!

We should not let this happen ever again or there will be a CW2.

We have got news for the Rat People in the next election of 2018 and we are not saying the consequences to the Rat party in 2018.

Cruz has sex problems too. Since he is so valuable to us today, he should get ready. Make peace with the wife, plan to tell the truth, even divorce if he needs to.

What really bothers me is that powerful men follow their c***s, which I guess is understandable in some way, but they don’t OWN UP TO THAT TRUTH about the human male condition. Admit it, powerful men, you have access to lots of hot sex. It is DIFFICULT for men to resist it. Many fall.

But we can understand that if you are a good, decent human being. You fell from grace. You caused pain. Whatever. As long as it was consensual with adults, you can be forgiven. But once you start covering up, and WORSE OF ALL cloaking yourself in Biblical gilt edged holiness, we conservatives are DONE with you. So prepare and be ready to be honest. Ask President Herman Cain for advice. Oh, wait.

Trump's biggest mistake so far was picking Sessions to head the DOJ. There wouldn't have been a special election in Alabama otherwise, and Sessions has been missing in action.

President Trump needs to replace Sessions asap.

Sessions has been compromised from the get go.

Even if Moore dated a 14 year old he wasn’t a pedo. Pedophile is an attraction to prepubescent children.


It isn’t black and white. The high level guy who molested me went younger and younger and ended up being arrested for touching PRESCHOOLERS. I used to think a perv had one stage of development he preferred but it seems pervs get worse. Remember Jarod of Subway abused little girls, but then tried boys and loved that too.

Obviously one must do what is possible.

I don’t play pretend very well. I guess you do, and anyone who sees through it is “poisonous.” Cruz is horrible on the campaign trail, how anyone can disagree with that after 2016 is a mystery. He has zero social skills and is a very odd duck, some might even call him creepy and convince the vagina vote to stay home again.

Ted Cruz should have kept his big mouth shut, when he decided it was politically expedient for himself to bash Moore. Judge Moore's wife endorsed Ted Cruz back in the primaries. If the libtards really want Ted's seat.. Ted will have to pull a Frankenstein.

Ted Cruz is literally the only reason Bush and Obama were unable to turn the US into a client of Europe.

Without his excellent diligence we would be subject to world court durisdiction in even the smallest matter, and would no longer have the right to own a gun.

Without his work we would have lost both cases at SCOTUS.

You're a simpleton.

Being in the public eye is clearly not his forte. He’s too gawky, awkward and weird. That’s quite a liability for an erstwhile politician. He shouldn’t have burned his bridges with Trump so he could land a nice permanent Supreme Court gig largely out of the public eye but oh no, he had to go all wackadoodle with the “VP” Snarly Figurina in a bid to steal convention delegates. That, in the mind of any sane person was just flat weird and I’m surprised he still has the political support that he does. Oops, he forgot he was a Canadian citizen, Mr. Constitution my butt. He makes Roy Moore look utterly normal by comparison.

Unfortunately, you have not been paying attention.. if the libtards really want Teddy's seat, there is plenty of womanizing to make the Moore's race look like a day time drama. Course you have a long history of blindness. Time will tell, but Teddy should have kept his big mouth shut on Judge Roy Moore. Karma seems to be going around.

The reason Hillary came so close to Trump in Texas was because of all the Bushies voting for her.

Cruz is safe as long as he doesn’t insult Trump.

Plenty of old footage from 2016 with him doing so.

Well, if you come up my mountain looking for my 14 year-old daughter, I’ve got a little something else for you that you might not like quite as much.

Ted has ‘women’ issues..

CNN reported Ted sexually harassed his mother while still a zygote.

I’d have been willing to give him the benefit of the doubt if he gave a little more convincing defense of himself. I’d have voted for him anyway over Jones or any of the communists, but it’s counterproductive to lie to ourselves about why he lost.

We’ll get Mo Brooks in there for Trump’s second term, so let’s pick ourselves up and demolish them next November.

I not going to argue the fact the establishment republicans are snakes baring that Ted will be fine. Despite what some freepers think Ted has a very good relationship with president Trump. I would have voted for Judge Moore but he was a not that well liked in Alabama.They did not like him as much as they hated Mitch McConnell.
