GOP sources: Rick Perry encouraged Michael McCaul to challenge Ted Cruz
WFAA 8 ABC ^ | 31 OCTOBER 2016 | TEXAS TRIBUNE

Posted on 10/31/2016 5:33:54 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

(TEXAS TRIBUNE) Late this summer, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry strongly encouraged U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul to challenge U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz's re-election bid in 2018, according to GOP sources.

The encouragement, which was relayed to The Texas Tribune by two Republican sources familiar with the correspondence, came around the same time that McCaul, an Austin Republican, emerged as a top potential challenger to Cruz's re-election efforts, amid an outcry among many grassroots conservatives over Cruz's decision not to endorse presidential nominee Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention.

Rick Perry is a R I N O!

He would only become conservative months before an election.

Cruz and family have a sketchy record at best with regards to allegeince to the USA.

*****************
....
Cruz and Wilson lived in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where on December 22nd, 1970, their
only child Texas Senator Ted Cruz, was born. ... Rafael Cruz earned Canadian citizenship
in 1973 and in 2005 he renounced his Canadian citizenship and became a naturalized U.S.
citizen. Eleanor and Rafael Cruz divorced in 1997. Eleanor was first married to another
man and went to England, had a child which is buried over there, divorced and then
hooked up with Rafael. Give the Cruz name a couple generations as US citizens and
then see where they stand

.....

So Conservative he got a 76 in 2014 from the ACU. That’s a RINO. Cruz got 100%.

Good for Perry. I actually supported Cruz over Trump in the Texas primary. Trump won and Cruz didn’t endorce Trump over Hillary at the convention, hoping to ride it out until 2020, which meant he didn’t understand why I was originally for him (SCOTUS, clean up Washington), and not the person.

McCaul is NOT a true conservative. I have written to him several times regarding his voting record or lack of support for conservative issues. He always sends me canned letters with talking points that do not address my questions. Cruz disappointed me, but he is more conservative than McCaul.

Cruz is the only consistent protector of our constitution, and our rights.

Without his constant effort, we would no longer be a sovereign nation. We would be without any gun rights, and subject to the world court.

Hi, friend. Obama placed one Castro brother in office over Federal Housing, in DC. The other Castro is high up in San Antonio.. maybe mayor. I need to brush up on these two lemmings. Juan Castro, I believe, is one brother.

The one in DC does not comport himself well. I watched him in a mark up committee.

Sure good to see you again.

Sessions is one of the better ones, but he is not up to Cruz’ level by any stretch.

Thanks, longway.

I had to chuckle on the trade question, with McCaul.

My first thought was.. “at least he is honest”.

Cruz you recall had a silver tongue on the issue, but then facilitated everything the Chamber of Commerce wanted, on TPA. LOL.
