Wasn’t it just yesterday that Cruz was claiming he wasn’t going to get involved in primaries? This seems to indicate otherwise.
“Wasn’t it just yesterday that Cruz was claiming he wasn’t going to get involved in primaries? This seems to indicate otherwise.”
Frankly I think that was a shrewd game on his part. I think he wanted to avoid being pressured to endorse Cornyn so he says “hey, I’m staying out of all primaries.” Cornyn would have loved his endorsement, but without it, he’s likely to be forced into a runoff next Tuesday.
Cruz knows the republicans in the senate need new leadership, and he’s shrewdly working to make that happen. Hell, McConnell and Cornyn work behind the scenes to undermine conservatives, so Cruz is working behind the scenes to undermine the moderates and the moderate leadership.
