Ted Cruz slides in poll, leaving Greg Abbott king of the Texas GOP
Austin American-Statesman ^ | June 27, 2016 | Jonathan Tilove

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s poll numbers have slid in the aftermath of his unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination for president, according to the new University of Texas/Texas Politics Project poll released Monday, leaving Gov. Greg Abbott far and away the most popular Republican in the state.

Abbott has an 11 percentage-point approval margin among the general electorate — calculated by taking those who like what he’s doing minus those who don’t — and a 65 percentage-point net approval rating among Republicans. Cruz has a 39-point net approval margin among Republicans, but, among the broader electorate, he has an approval margin of -18 points.

That’s the biggest deficit for the big-name Republicans the Texas Politics Project named in the survey...

Cruz is a willing tool of the globalist, Uniparty elites. He’s a rat bastard who will never get this Texan’s vote again.

What issues has Cruz helped pass in the senate, other than TPP?

This Texas is TOTALLY PERPLEXED. At most, all that Cruz needed to do was sit out the 2016 presidential election...but that was too much, so now he’s some kind of martyr, at least to some of his supporters.

TPP was ill defined at that point and he has since rejected TPP as the details emerged.

Ted had a platform he was running on.

Which element do you disagree with?

Gee, Larry....don’t forget about the WSJ op-ed Lyin Ted co-authored with Lyin Ryno...about the urgent need to pass TPA.....ala Fast Track.

Not to mention his blaming the Chicago rally violence on Trump.

No thanks!!

Platform?

Talk is cheap. Tell us what conservative issues Cruz has led to passage
in the senate. Not passed into law, just led to senate passage.

We will all be waiting for your long list.

“Dewhurst is still waiting in the wings, although he is somebody we never voted for before and still wouldn’t. Somebody needs to take Cornyn off his pedestal and we best be keeping an eye on George P Bush.”

If Texas Votes another Boosh into office, they won’t have to cecede, we will throw them out of the union! Jorge P. Boosh is a Mexican half-breed for peet’s sake, from a Globalist $hit family!

Cruz is a liar, Regardless of what he "says" he's not to be trusted, not one itty bitty bit.

Re George P. Just really amazed me to see all the people that voted for him in the last election. Unfortunately there seem to be a whole lot of Bush loyalists left in the state. GPB put a lot of his buddies on the state payroll in the Land Commissioner’s office so somebody is going to have to do a lot of housecleaning.

Would be great if the Governor would make GPB ante up for all the time he was not doing his job and was out campaigning for Yeb.

Parts of Austin just mirror all the things that are wrong in California.

Ted needed to hear you. I can’t imagine what it might take for him to buy a clue and grow up. He makes everything about him.

The man’s every preachy know-it-all policy lecture has the finger prints of the globalists agenda.

Without a conservative conversion and immediate support of Trump, I will happily work against Ted Cruz, in TEXAS.

You're a MORON!

Trump has never held any political office; ergo your puerile query is patently ridiculous, not to mention absurd in the extreme!

You need to be deprogrammed; your CRUZCULT friend brain is mush and soon, when it completely liquefies, shall drip out of your nose.

I'm fully aware of what people of ALL ages, in Texas think; unlike you!

I don't think so, that's why I'm calling you out. I'm old enough to know you don't know as much about real Texas conservatives and their values as you believe. You must be very active and involved in Texas political circles to be so confident of your opinions of Cruz and those who supported him. If your only activism is calling me a damn fool because I disagree, then you are only making my point. It's time to move on and leave your opinion of Cruz out of this. Try concentrating on defeating Hillary and the globalists. Belittling Cruz won't help defeat Hillary.
