I'll never forget Perry saying that you were heartless for not supporting in state tuition for illegals.


He's a loser.

Yeah, and after running on building a border fence (Gee, where have I heard that before?) he came out a week after he was elected and said, "ain't gonna happen".
It turns out that H.E.B. grocery chain and PERRY Home builders, two of his biggest backers, were against that. Wonder why?

Also, the Eminent Domain issue for his super highway to Michigan.
Thank goodness, that got shot down.

I don't live in Texas, but in talking to people who do -- I think Ted Cruz still has enough support to win re-election.  However, in supporting Trump, he may have killed whatever chances he may have had to win the presidency, should he decide to run again.

It will depend on who challenges Cruz in the primary. If Cruz is challenged by a popular Republcan like Dan Patrick or Greg Abbett Cruz will be in trouble. I think even G. P. Bush could give him a run for the money.

Cruz turned a lot of people off with his dirty tricks, lying campaign.  Trump voters in Texas are not happy with him. However his 11th hour endorsement of Trump did heal the wounds a little bit.

If a solid conservative takes on Cruz then I'll not be voting Cruz in the primary. However I will vote R in the general no matter who that R is.

Michael McCaul has an F rating (56%) on the CR scorecard.

Not sure why anyone in their right mind would want to replace one of the most conservative members of Congress with a milquetoast Cornyn clone.

Unless of course they were never really a conservative to begin with.

Michael McCaul is a TOTAL squish!  Kinda like a younger Juan McCain.

As usual you are full of it!  To the brim in fact!  Ted Cruyz is 100 time more conservative than Dan Goeb (Now Patrick) from Maryland ever thought about being and Abbot won't even consider running against Cruz.

I believe the threat from Trump and those in Congress who supported him was in part the reason Cruz stated he was voting for Trump.  Trump holds grudges.  He also threatened Kasich; but Kasich reaches his term limit in 2018.  I believe Ryan supported him for much the same reason.

The RNC flat out said that any R that did not honor their pledge to support the GOP nominee would never again receive any help from the RNC.  That is when Cruz decided to endorse Trump, the RNC put a gun to his head since he is up for reelection in 2018.

Oh, give it up, @jpsb!  Yes, Cruz challenged your guy and in a Trump world that is unforgivable, but remember, we're not in a Trump world and stuff like that comes off as the gibberish it is.

When Trump loses, Priebus will be gone and that threat will be out the window.

Ted Cruz is a lying flip floppier. A uniparty globalist except when he gets caught when he switches sides.

So what was the lie?  I have been asking that question for several months, yet I can't find a single Trump sycophant who can name one.

My concern is that the negligence of a few will adversely affect the majority. I've long been a believer in the "look at the solution, not the problem" theory. In this case, the solution is clear. We will have to leave borders behind and go for global unity when it comes to financial stability.

I just posted three videos of Cruz lying.  He lied about legal status for illegals (he was for it) he lied about wanting to greatly increase legal immigration and H1B vitas and he lied about being against TPP. Lots more but I am not going to brother documenting them since you will simply ignore the evidence.

Son, if that's how you define "lying", then how can you be supporting Trump, who changes his positions more often than Hillary changes her Depends.

You are referring to opinions that Cruz has had.  Cruz has already explained his opinions and why he changed them.  But nowhere did he lie about them.

But you did not name a single lie.  So again, where is the lie?

Cruz, Rubio, Ryan, these people have endorsed him. It is in this, that is highly questionable where so-called "Never Trumpers" now break with their candidate.

You really ask that?

How about when the Cruz campaign apologized to Kasich for saying he took money from Soros, or saying Ben Carson was dropping out in Iowa or Rubio in Hawaii or saying Rubio said of the Bible, "there are not many answers in that book"

http://www.mediaite.com/online/once-again-cruz-campaign-caught-pushing-fake-smear-of-rubio/

Rubio called that campaign the dirtiest one, top to bottom he'd ever seen.
