Breaking Poll: Rick Perry Leads Ted Cruz by 9 Points in Texas Senate Race
the gateway pundt ^ | 8/18/16 | Jim Hoft

Senator Cruz stunned conservatives when he refused to endorse Donald Trump at the RNC Convention in Cleveland. This came after Cruz was thumped in the GOP primary race. Perry leads Cruz in a senate primary matchup 46% to 37%.

The Texas Tribune reported:

A new poll suggests there is at least one fellow Republican who could unseat U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018: Rick Perry.

The former Texas governor would beat Cruz by 9 percentage points, according to the forthcoming survey from the Democratic-leaning firm Public Policy Polling. Set to be released later today, the poll found Perry would get 46 percent of the vote and Cruz 37 percent, with 18 percent saying they are not sure whom they would support.

At least with Perry you have a guy who had balls enough to serve in uniform.

Cruz is a bigger Bushie than Perry; he wrote W’s amnesty position papers. But it’s true — Rove guided Perry’s election.

At least with Perry you would have an American as Senator.

I’m not Perry’s biggest fan but he is a decent and honourable man. The Canadian is in league with Soros, Clinton and McCain

P.S. You cannot be a globalist and a conservative at the same time. Cruz was grandstanding as “Tea Party” and most people fell for it.

Cruz is a con man. Is not and will never be a ‘ natural born’ US citizen. His parents fault not the Constitution's fault. This snake made his name at Harvard Law School for following the ‘original intent’ of our Constitution.. Except Ted Cruz attempted to exempt himself. Too bad for you, you bought his con game.

Possibly you don’t understand the problem of Cruz’s grandstanding on what seemed to be the right issues but really just to give Tea Party suckers false hope?

“Grandstanding” implies impotency, hypocrisy, fakery, hucksterism.

How is Cruz’s impotent Senate record “great”?

Ryan ran against an absolute stiff. The GOPe wasn't going to let him lose. Hopefully that insufferable back-stabber will lose in the general.

The GOPe is hauling azz and spending mega $$$ on behalf of McCain. Ward was beating McCain when sudden that turned around for some unknown reason. The Establishment pubbies will stop at nothing NOT to be caught off guard and get embarrassed again like Cantor in a primary.

Even if Republican RINOs like McCain can hurdle the primaries, they have to worry about backlash from teed off open-eyed conservatives tipping the scales in the general Senate elections.

As to Hillary's polling at 45%, frankly, I find it hard to believe the polls aren't skewed. Fortunately, Trump hasn't really even begun what will be an agrressive ad campaign against The Lying Sickly Hag, whose atrocious health situation already has one foot dangling in the brimstone.

Yeah I figured Cruz out 2 years ago when most on here fell for Cruz’s act. I almost got banned for posting the truth about Cruz like his shenanigans on TPA TPP obamatrade and his Co authoring a pro TPA article with non other than Ryan another mole for Soros

Cool. I bit my tongue since ‘13 over Cruz, mostly because of Sarah Palin.

Why? Because Ted Cruz is a lying, despicable, miserable sack of a worthless human being who turned his back on America and deserves nothing but our continual shunning.

That good enough for you?
