He was viewed as such by his base. If he had been a success, and if his party had been successful, I imagine he might have been held in higher regard.

He and his party have achieved nothing.

Not one thing.

Most interesting part by far. Pollsters have no idea how to model the upcoming election.

Jeff Miller’s primary challenger ? Don’t you know he’s retiring ? There’s 8 candidates running.

“Yeah, I’m a real problem for big government socialists. Always arguing for following the Constitution, eliminating government agencies, reducing the size and scope of government ...”

Then why on earth do you vote Republican?

BWAHAHAHAHAHahahahaha!!!!

Agree! But even for Cruz this is excessive. He usually prefers sneaky/doublespeak/plausible deniability. Yet here he is, right out in the open, pushing Hillary.

For once he’s being honest, it would seem.

Nope, I didn’t. good.

No wonder my mailbox has been filling up with endless vote for me mailers.

It’s difficult to tell which one of them actually means any of what is printed on them.

Nope, as I outlined in post #132, it’s a left-wing victory for the establishment. The same cretins tried to take him down in 2014 before any of this Trump/Cruz business.

Cruz is now officially for Hillary—and he doesn’t care who knows it.

I haven’t vetted them, yet. I’ll take a look now.

You're right. I should vote for the Constitution Party, top to bottom. Always. Never vote for ANY Republican, EVER. Why? They don't support the Constitution. They just implement new government agencies, expand the size and scope of government, and ignore the restrictions imposed on government by the Constitution.

Of course, then the Trump fans would accuse me of supporting Hildebeeste ... you know ... if you aren't with Trump, you're with Hillary! Kind of works the same way for other offices too. Even with the despicable Ryan, or the unreliable Rubio.

Funny how logic works that way.

Is the Huelskamp loss really a Trump win?

What were Huelskamp's positions on TPP, amnesty, muzlim refugees, open borders, etc.???

I live next door to Kansas... It is a low population state with vast acres of open land. It was Brownback back as senator that helped flood US with Somalis ....

Ol Arlen snarling Spector was born in Kansas. They do not call it the land of OZ for no reason... The name Governor Sebelius ring any bells. Bob Dole was not exactly ‘conservative’... and he sure did not move back to Kansas after he lost his bid for the oval office.

As ol Reverend Wright famously said ‘the chickens are coming home to roost’... Once Cruz could not get Mitch the Senate to resolve him eligible to hold the office of president he slithered off to the House of Representatives... seducing them in the name of conservatism... in hopes to get republican delegates in majority... back door to the presidency...

But you keep on preaching how you see politics through your sliver of glass. As ‘conservative’ as you claim Huelskamp, (what a name) is, he lacked the wisdom of discernment and hitched his wagon to a loser. I do not like pathological liars.. And Ted Cruz comes in the likeness of the Clintons and Obama on the grand scale of pathological lying.

His convention speech wasn't any less rational than Trump criticizing Khan.

Yer nuts...Besides, Trump didn't criticize Khan...

Seriously? Ted Cruz also claimed he followed the ‘original intent’ of our Constitution, except he required an exemption for himself. Canadian born, or any foreign born child is NOT nor will ever fulfill the founders intent of ‘natural born’ US citizenship to hold the office of president.

Yes, Ted Cruz is evil personified. Just look at him today.. He could NOT get the guy that he deceived over the finish line in Kansas. In the ‘name’ of conservatism...

Uncommitted, opposed, opposed, and opposed.

I lost all interest in Ted Cruz a few months ago. Some folks are still obsessed with him. I don’t know why; he’s just not that interesting to me.

The similar answer for Marshall is don't know, don't know, opposed, opposed.

The candidate with the most $$ is State Rep. Matt Gaetz, but it’s not unusual that the candidate who is most establishment has more money than the rest (BTW, the leftist Marshall outspent Huelskamp in KS, which was telling). However, Gaetz did get a 100% Conservative score for his votes in the legislature from the ACU.

Conversely, State Sen. Greg Evers had the ballsy move to give away a semi-auto rifle in a July 4th contest, which pissed off a lot of the anti-gun nutters. However, he got a 56% rating in 2015 (down from 88% in 2014) and 80% lifetime from the ACU, but the votes graded that year (’15) made a lot of usual Conservatives appear to be RINOs, which differed from the House votes.

Another candidate is Rebekah Johansen Bydlak, but the downside to her is that she’s endorsed by the Paulbot brigade, and I don’t trust them.

Here are the links to their websites for the 7 who have them:
