Every major newspaper in Texas has endorsed Colin Allred. Is it time to look out, finally? Is this Ted's move... to full-time pod-caster and FOX guest?
Yeah... no. Newspaper endorsements won't matter. This is Texas. Cruz is on autopilot and will win comfortably,
I don't know how Allred could win. But one person that I know actually bought a house and registered to vote in Texas (they are from the midwest, lived in NYC and LA recently) and is working very hard to help people likely to vote for Allred. This person is connected and doing a lot. I really want to believe. But I know it is a giant uphill battle.
Feels like it'll be close again (within 3%) but CanCruz will likely, unfortunately, win again. We'll be stuck with the human form of gas station sushi for another 6 years.
When Cruz Makes His Move, Watch Out https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5254704-ted-cruz-challenges-maga/ Is Ted Cruz running again? Texas carves out unique lane in Trump’s GOP Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who finished in second place to President Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primary, has distinguished himself from MAGA World by declaring his skepticism of long-term tariffs, remaining a hawk on Russia and coming out against proposals to tax the rich. By calling out tariffs as “taxes on American consumers” and sticking to his view that Russia poses a serious threat to U.S. interests, Cruz may be laying the groundwork to run against Trump’s heir apparent, Vice President Vance, in a 2028 Republican primary. “I think he’s carving out a position for himself as the defender of traditional conservatism,” Vin Weber, a Republican strategist, said of Cruz, who is 54. “He’s a viable contender for president because he’s a brilliant conservative and he represents the largest Republican state,” he said. A big potential obstacle for anyone seeking the GOP presidential nomination in 2028 is Vance, who is 40. Vance is Trump’s natural heir apparent and has fully embraced the MAGA agenda, including the use of high tariffs to bring manufacturing back to the United States and a view that the nation doesn’t have the defense industrial capacity to continue providing billions of dollars in military support to Ukraine. Weber said Vance is an “obvious problem” to any White House ambitions from Cruz or other Republicans.
I can't believe he thinks he could win a national election. The racist faction isn't going to vote for a Cuban with a last name of Cruz regardless of how much he sells out.
Say what you will about Ted Castro -all I know is he is bringing the space shuttle home to Houston where it belongs.
teds problem is that he is not a likeable person. say what you will about trump, but those who like him f***ing love him. ted cant get that kind of support even from those who might otherwise be supportive of his policy positions. again, he is just not a likeable person and in presidential elections that matters. also, i cant believe he is only 54. i thought he was older than that.
