Ted Cruz is aiming for Mitch McConnell, but he may blow up the GOP's chances for a Senate majority in November.
A rump band of Beltway conservatives has seen the enemy and it is not Harry Reid. It is Mitch McConnell, whose scalp is apparently worth blowing yet another shot at a Republican Senate majority.

They attack the TEA Party and then complain that we don’t support their guys?
I'm with you.
Another blatant attack on Ted Cruz.
Their beef: Cruz is attacking McConnell and the Tea Party is attacking incumbents.
This author is out of sorts because the incumbents are leading, so leave them alone, you only make them vulnerable to their democrat opponents.
If McConnel wins his primary we may lose the seat in Kentucky. I am in Texas and will never vote for Cornyn even in the general so I wonder how many tea party people in Kentucky feel the same way about Mitch. While the Senate seat in Texas is likely to go to the pubbies no matter what I understand that Yurtle is polling behind his democrat challenger in Kentucky.
I expect Peggy Noonan will be up next with a Cruz hit piece.

lolol
Is she still around? Didn’t she used to be relevant?
If we win the senate and McConnell is at the helm it won’t make any difference.
We have to get rid of him to as a badly needed message to the rest.
Yes...and those who act like Dems....like Midge, Bonehead, McStain, McGrahamnesty and McCornyn. They do us as much good as the Dems do. Sen Cruz and conservatives know this.
She is still around but relevent?... eh.. not really
Are the Dems funding a Libertarian in Kentucky?
I see a “Clintonian plurality” win in their future.
Hard to believe she was Reagan’s speechwriter.
Interesting and stupid. Voters have followed the GOP establishment for years and are once again ask to follow this stupid and ignorant group. And where has following them taken us? To the precipice of disaster. Why anyone would believe this time it would result in a new and better outcome is dumber than a rock and not near as useful. Wake-up Americans, the politicians (both groups) are taking us on a road to hell. A government too big, too expensive, too greedy, too corrupt, too invasive, too controlling, too many employees, too incompetent and thus too un-American.
What’s the point in “our side” winning a majority if the folks gaining the power don’t represent “our side”?
GOPe has to go as much as the Dems do.
Look at how well it worked with that old RINO Dick Lugar...
“...This author is out of sorts because the incumbents are leading, so leave them alone, you only make them vulnerable to their democrat opponents.”

Not true. Have you checked out the polls on Mitch McConnell and the Kentucky Senate race this year. The self-centered and self-deluded McConnell could well cost the Republicans a Senate seat this year if he prevails in the primary.
It’s starting to look like there’s come collaboration going on with these hit pieces this week...Sowell, Coulter, and now Strassel.
It looks like the GOP-e are calling in all their markers - in panic, from the looks of it - to save the faux "conservatives" at the top of the Senate Septic Tank, and in doing so are outing some beltway journos that have been doing with their columns what McConnell and Cornyn (and Hatch, and...) have been doing with cloture. The camouflage just isn't as effective as it used to be.
Thomas Sowell has surprised and disappointed me this time around, although Ann Coulter has already proven to be chronically (and hopelessly) infatuated with all things RINO.
Mr. niteowl77
The defenders of the GOPe have appeared.
I assumed he meant the race with the primary opponents, but you are correct about McConnell and Grimes. I think she’s now leading...at a minimum she’s drawn even with McConnell.
I think that Ted Cruz is trying to prevent the Establishment Republicans from self destruction, with predictable consequences in November.
Ted Cruz represents what most Americans think, especially those who still can think. Every time a Republican decides to be a Democrat-lite he loses. To Democrats bi-partisanship is agreeing with them, with a meaningless token change thrown their way.
We are already traveling at warp speed toward totalitarianism.
I guess we’re supposed to sit and observe incoming round after incoming round.
Hey, Kim: We didn’t start this.
