Post of the month Edd!!! I can’t believe how many are STILL so easily fooled by the pure lyin’ fraud that is Ted Cruz. Throw in his CFR/Globalist/NWO screwball wife and that is one heck of a pair huh?

[TBP]

I know this will really disturb the CDS crows.

[iowamark]

There are only 7 Republican Senators besides Ted Cruz up in 2018:

Bob Corker is retiring.

Flake AZ
Wicker MS
Fischer NE
Heller NV
Hatch UT
Barrasso WY

Good for Bannon. Cruz pissed a lot of us off but it would be foolish to dump him - he realizes what he did wrong and is still hell-bent on a Conservative agenda.

I wouldn’t trust Cruz to drain a mudpuddle!

Fischer is the only one I might look to keeping in that group.

She has been pretty good on illegal immigration in her career, which is our single most important issue, with her worst position being on the big trade deals.

The rest are embarrassments.

He carried states Republicans haven't carried in living memory — Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania. This agenda works. The American people voted for it," he said in part.

"By the way, [Mitch] McConnell would not be majority leader unless Trump — in North Carolina and Missouri and Wisconsin — was able to carry those senators across the finish line. It's incumbent upon them to back President Trump's plan, but you don't see it," Bannon continued.

DAMN RIGHT. Steve Bannon, doing the work the GOPe just won't do. Take no prisoners, Steve!

[trebb]

That's nice. He is still a hard core conservative and seems to understand he screwed up royally when he had dreams of the WH - and many of his base helped in those fantasies by hyping him as their personal shoo-in. I believe he would have lost and it took him a long time to figure it out with all the "principled" conservative backers who tried to shoe-horn him through.

We all live and learn.

Bannon on Breitbart radio this AM.

Senator Cruz has a couple of areas where he offended me deeply. However, President Reagan gave good advice:

The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally - not a 20 percent traitor.
- Ronald Reagan

Cruz is my 80% ally, and he is an ally in (most) of the important areas. Considering that Donald Trump already has a job and can’t fill all 100 US Senate seats, I’ll keep Ted Cruz over the overwhelming majority of alternatives.

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, I saw that.

Ted talks a good game. When the voting comes along, he’s playing a different one.

[buffaloguy]

Cruz frequently advises Trump on issues. He is highly regarded by Trump.

Nebraska could do better than Deb.

Probably could, though again illegal immigration is IMO the most important and she is at least good on that. Also, All those big farm states go for subsidies in such a way that they really aren’t all that conservative on some traditional counts.

If Bannon comes up with a strong candidate who can beat her and win, then that’s good. But the other six are more important wins.

[DEPcom]

Both Senators in SC need to go...

[Mollypitcher1]

Cruz will never learn. He has no “character.”
