The LBJ machine is still alive in TX.
Watch TX primary.
I am actually worried Cruz has damaged his Senate Seat.
The LBJ machine is still alive in TX.
Prayers that it did.
You got that right.
Some Texans say the Cruz that ran for the Senate is not the Cruz seen on the presidential circuit. Trusting Texans spent time and money on him.....making calls on Cruz/s behalf for the votes that helped him win his Senate office.
Nowadays, these onetime Cruz supporters are airing their gripes. Many are p!ssed at Cruz for not disclosing that as a Senate candidate, he was still a Canadian citizen. It/s not helping Cruz to be called liar at his public appearances. The Carson Iowa fiasco still reverberates followed by the Bible video debacle.
Cruz/s political blunders pile up ... one disaster after another. But there are similarities: Cruz is looking more and more like the late unlamented prez candidate, ex-Texas Gov Rick Perry.....two stealth candidates trusting Texans hardly knew.
At first, Cruz (like Perry) looked good....prez material, even. Then candidate Cruz (like Perry) began admitting things that trusting Texans knew nothing about.
Gov Perry shocked his constituents when he admitted in a presidential debate that he was using trusting Texans tax dollars to give illegals in-state tuition...and that they were heartless b/c they did not like this use of tax dollars. (Perry also installed the country/s first Sharia Court in Texas....active to this day).
Cruz heaped on the surprises:
<><> I didn/t know I was a Canadian citizen when I ran for the Senate until the media exposed it.
<><> I told trusting Texas voters wifey and I were liquidating family assets so I could get into the Senate.
<><> I didn/t know I was supposed to tell the FEC I borrowed over a million from my Wall Street margin accounts to fund my campaign.
<><> I told Mark Levin the borrowed funds were used for campaign ads....but I didn/t report this as required.
<><> And so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.
BACKSTORY In Texas, Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary......portraying himself to trusting Texans as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.
He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that he, and his faithful little wife (a $700,000 globalist lawyer employed by G/S), were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.
NOW TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from Texans).
Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from Texans.
At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn/t know.
When the Dallas Morning News published Cruz/s Canadian birth certificate, Cruz put Texans through the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship.....even though Canada did not recognize dual citizenship at the time of his birth.
I am actually worried Cruz has damaged his Senate Seat...
It really depends on the caliber of the challenger. Cruz is a thoroughbred. Incumbency coupled with a weaker opponent should mean he would have no problems. Plus Cruz has the endorsement of the current Texas Republican party power brokers behind him. I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
He was heard telling Heidi...Why in the world did you give up your day job?? talk to me. Talk to me.
And the Senate majority that we hold is in danger. Rubio is not running again and it's over come Jan 3rd.
