Lying Ted Cruz up to his old tricks again:





Is it me or it's a terrible strategy to get people to fund your campaign?

Everything about Ted Cruz is terrible.

Ted mother****ing Cruz having his principles in the right place here, even if its for opportunistic reasons, truly demonstrates just how evil Trump's administration and this policy are.

If Beto pulls it off this fall, Trump is DEFINITELY in trouble come 2020.


If Cruz somehow loses then I think Trump is not DOA, but bordering close to it. If those 38 electoral votes are tossup or Lean R instead of Safe/Likely R that changes the dynamics of 2020 in the Democrats favor. Trump could win the state in 2020 but it could come at the expense of spending and campaigning more there than a NC or a FL perhaps.

Drawing conclusion from an O'Rourke victory for 2020 would be a big mistake. Just because everything aligns perfectly in a Senate race doesn't mean the state has become competitive at the presidential level. Remember a Republican won Illinois in 2010.

Republicans won an unfortunate special election in Massachusetts too. Sad
Massachusetts is more elastic than Texas, though. Democrats haven't won statewide in Texas since Ann Richards in 1990. Since 1990, Massachusetts has only had one Democratic governor.

Well, the Democrats haven’t won a senate race in Alabama for 25 years until they won with Doug Jones. And Texas votes in the left of Alabama so Texas is more winnable for the Democrats than Alabama is.

At the same time though, Jones' win was kind of a fluke based on Roy Moore being an alleged pedophile. Ted Cruz is a pretty reprehensible, unlikable person; but not to the point that he has  a major liability that is associated with him like Moore did.

Cruz sex tape imminent?



please please please, I would amputate my left toe pinkie if it was guaranteed that Cruz would lose.

As long as I don't have to watch the sex tape, or whatever, with Cruz- I agree with you.

He's my senator so it is really personal for me, I would watch him with two homosexual dwarves train style if it meant that he would lose.

I can understand that. That's kind of how I felt about Scott Garrett  for over a decade.

I know the whole tweet's bad, but I'm really irked by how much of a reach that Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon reference is. He just wanted to throw that in there, and it's so low-effort and pandering. So it fits him perfectly is what I'm saying:


It's such a forced attempt at having a sense of humor.

SOMEBODY MAKE IT STOP


Cruz's "joke" was even better than that! The Texas GOP would lose every election for that in a just world!

I'm betting Trump still calls him "Lyin' Ted" on stage while endorsing him.

"I have no greater supporter in the Senate than my friend Lyin' Ted Cruz. Lyin' Ted has always had my back." Etc.

Trump would finally have the greatest of something at that point: world's greatest Freudian slip.

Cruz can't even compliment O'Rourke without tossing in a shot about socialism and Bernie Sanders. What a bleeping tool.

Thankfully O'Rourke said, "true to form" and called him out on it.

Seriously, Ted Cruz is just the slimiest politician ever. I don't know how anyone could think he's sincere.

He's slimier than the blobfish that he resembles:

Cruz had a great debate until last question. I can't beleive he's that stupid. I mean even Trump managed to say something nice about Hillary without attacking her.

Trump actually had a really good response to that question.

That was Trump's only good response. It was actually better than Clinton's where she praised Trump for being a loving father with five bright kids. That was just objectively false!

Given that Cruz is a clear Yes vote on Kavanaugh, does this shore up the MAGA base, or erode his support with independents and blow up the female vote?
Female republicans have already shown they dont care.

Not a great look, but unlikely to move the needle.
If anyone thinks this helps Cruz, I’d remind you that the Senator (or a hapless intern) liked a porn video on his official twitter account, and that did nothing to affect his standing.

You're forgetting about the mindbogglingly huge moral double-standard that Democrats face in America, especially in red states.

Oh f*** off, Ted Cruz. It's not like you're going to represent every demographic in your state either.
