Cruz is less likely to win than Cornyn.
As a leader, Cruz accumulates enemies, even among conservatives who would (or should) otherwise be his most loyal supporters.
Cornyn is nothing. He does nothing, leads nothing. But that’s something, because it means he has no enemies.
So Cornyn can do what Cruz cannot: He can unite the conservative vote who will always vote for him(Cornyn) meanwhile also gaining all of the non-conservative republican vote.
Cruz will guaranteed lose some of the conservative vote, and some of the McCain republican vote.
That’s the harsh reality of being a true conservative.
My own words: “As a leader, Cruz accumulates enemies, even among conservatives who would (or should) otherwise be his most loyal supporters.”
I meant to add to this at the moment:
When Cruz leads, some conservatives may think he didn’t go far enough, but others will think he should just stick to economics or some other single-issue driver(many times, crucially important) that means they will not, in the end, come out and support or even come out and vote for him.
That’s why Cornyn in the end would be said to be more electable than Cruz. Even in one of the most conservative states in the union.
I hate it. Cruz should always win more than Cornyn does. Cruz is by far, without question, clearly more conservative than Cornyn. But that’s not the reality.
Cornyn is the safer bet for winning future elections. I know that’s where I would put my money if this were a bet and I wanted to win the bet.
I’m nervous about Cruz’s chances this coming election. All I see in the media is how terrible Cruz is as a person.
Allred will win the major urban areas and it will be up to the rural voters to keep Ted in office.
