President Donald Trump’s budget chief, Mick Mulvaney, expressed confidence to Republican donors Saturday that the party would overcome a Democratic “movement of hate” in November, but he acknowledged Republicans could lose races where they have nominated candidates who are not seen as “likable” enough, like Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

Mulvaney is a jackass, making a statement that got into the media which undermines a solidly conservative Senate voice. I could not care less about any bitterness or hostility between Trump and Cruz - I don't personally know either of them, nor do I care about their feelings - all I care about is the fact that both of them can enact policies which will benefit the country. Both of them need to work together and support each other. And morons like Mulvaney really need to be told to shut the hell up.

Someone who went to a CLOSED DOOR GOP donors’ meeting taped Mulvaney who probably assumed that closed door meant confidential ... and whoever that coward is gave the tape to the NYT.

But what he spoke was truth. Cruz just isn’t likable, no matter how conservative he is. Whether that causes him to lose is another question. I would hope that Texans would overlook any personality defects in favor of policy positions, votes to support the POTUS, to keep a R majority in the Senate.

Seems to me that Cruz was a jackass first with the way he acted after losing his bid to be the nominee. Good for Mick for calling him on it.

p.s. I still want Cruz to win but he’d do himself a huge favor by admitting he made a mistake.

I agree 100%. I don’t care about personalities, I care about votes and actions. Trump and Cruz are top notch, anything that Mulvaney (who I also like) says to the contrary notwithstanding.

Loved your post, especially this nugget.

It is ridiculous how the Republicans have such loose lips and the Democrats always March in lockstep no matter what.
Even Melania contradicts the President in press releases. I can’t believe the lack of Republican discipline. It’s amazing Trump won but we can pat ourselves on the back for that.
