THAT SHOULD SAY *JOINS EFFORTS TO PROTECT ELECTIONS!*
Ok, Ted isn't going to run against Trump. Or maybe he will? But it would be nice if he could be a part of the team in some other way.

Regaining Republican control of the House and Senate in the 2022 midterm elections is at the top of Sen. Ted Cruz's political agenda. And toward that end, the Texas conservative views Tuesday's elections as "enormously consequential."
"I think the elections in Virginia, the elections in New Jersey, they’re foreshadowing what’s coming next year in 2022," Cruz said in an interview with Fox News on Friday night, ahead of his speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership meeting in Las Vegas.

Cruz was the runner-up to former President Donald Trump in the rough and tumble 2016 Republican primary and caucus battle, and when asked if he’s ruling out another run, he quickly answered "absolutely not."
"When I ran in ’16, it was the most fun I’ve had in my life," he said. "History shows the runner-up in the Republican Party is almost always the next nominee. We’ll see what President Trump decides to do, but I am going to fight to pull this country back from the abyss because this country’s worth fighting for."
While Cruz was open about a likely second White House run, (Rick) Scott demurred, saying, "My focus is making sure we get a majority" in the midterms.

Ted loves himself more than we ever will.
A presidential candidate who was a member of the House or Senate on or since January 6, 2020 will never get my vote.
Often people make a hopeless run for the White House when they know their time in the Senate is up. Considering Cruz’s 2018 election and then his trip to Mexico to ‘get away from the cold’, he may thinking along those lines.
I’d never vote for Cancun Cruz for President.
Senator, maybe.
President, no.

For what? Mayor of Cancun?
They’ll be “consequential” if Youngkin and Co don’t Rino out on us
Ummmm - Faux “News” wants to stir the pot. How many politicians are ever gonna commit to not running for something?
“Pence/Cruz ‘24”
The Canadian-born son of a Cuban.
It would be a stupid mistake Ted. You belong on the Supreme Court. Don’t blow it.
If only Trump had nominated Cruz for SCOTUS. Instead we got three gutless RINOs.
He was born in a foreign country to a foreign father. How does that make him a ‘natural born Citizen’ of the United States?
Spot on
I like Ted. I supported him over Trump. But got on board the Trump train after Ted lost.
Ted simply isn’t likable enough to win POTUS.
Lying Ted??? Bwahaha lmao, no thanks!
