I have to laugh at you dudes from other states dissing Cruz.  WTF are you doing in your own states?  You are responsible for your own.

I can tell you that the vast majority of Texans respect and appreciate Cruz.  How we let that asshole Cornyn get through the primary this year is unbelievable.  We thought we had no choice but to vote for him during the general because of the motorcycle-riding, army helicopter pilot bitch running for the Democrats.  In retrospect, we should have let her win and we'd be done with Cornyn.  It is unforgivable to give him another 6 years . . . just like McConnell . . . but McConnell was not my responsibility.

I am confused he was leading the charge on disputing the election results then when some Trump supporters walked through the capitol on the 6th he got scared and said he was not going to challenge the vote anymore. Unlike those Texans who actually fought Cruz went down faster then the titanic. I know Trump would not have backed down.

To be fair my senator talked a good game then folded as well. They are all the same Trump showed the truth. I am done with both parties unless the current crop of rhinos is replaced. I hope Trump starts his own party so can vote 3rd party.

I asked my senator why she backed down yet is on social media talking about how she is the wall now it’s pathetic and rather insulting her voters intelligence. The form letter she sent back was cringe worthy. If this is the best we can do then we are in trouble. That is why they hated Trump he did what he wanted. I expected better out of Cruz.

to be fair to Cruz,  I think he fought about as hard as he could. Protested the votes, has argued against leftists and socialists on every occasion. Unlike say Mike Lee, who has folded at key times.

If Cruz runs, he's got my vote for now.

I'm actually okay with that.  NO ONE will ever be as Trump as Trump is.  Even though DJT changed the political landscape forever, we are now in a post-Trump world where we get to watch MAGA diluted a thousand different ways.

No, defeatist attitudes are cancer.

Conservatives love to be right, they love to stand up and say “well AcKtuChuaLLY” all while giving ground to leftist by not participating.

He isn’t perfect, but he is still there, still a thorn in the side, still willing.

I’m over the political perfectionist bullshit that permeates this site, the left will hitch their wagon to whatever horse will get them there and influence the horse along the way. We aren’t touching the horse because his back left shoe was put on be a different farrier than the others, so we sit and bitch.

People bitch about Trump because was a centrist and not a conservative, a conservative steps up at an inauguration where the media is referring to the other side as fucking insurrectionist and we still bitch.

A politician is gonna do politician things, no surprise there. Is he pandering? Sure, but he's also one of the few people in congress right now who is going to be willing to say unpopular things and represent the people who are overnight "extremists". I'm very disappointed in the way things have played out, and with the loud bark with no bite from all of our conservative politicians, but don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Well, the reaction is the one thing you can always count on from GD.

I absolutely hate politicians, but he's one of the ones I hate less.  We don't have many choices right now, at least as far as solid, staunch, conservative politicians go.  I certainly didn't appreciate him calling the capitol protestors "terrorists"...wrong perhaps, but not actual terrorists.  I wrote him an email blasting him for that which I'm sure kept him up that night.  I also gave him kudos for remaining to stand for the challenge of the EC...at least he didn't wilt there like many other republicans after the protest.

Those bashing on him should come up with some better alternatives...or...get your Goliad Gonzales cannon flag and get down to something-something.  I see the chihuahua barking to be quite similar to many of the posters here.

You know what I like? I like fireworks. Firecrackers, bottle rockets, mortars, hell I even like roman candles.

I don't like sparklers though. They're not really fireworks even though you get them at a fireworks stand and their packaging claims fun and excitement. They just sort if fizz amd shine and sure they sparkle and make smoke. They kind of look like something's happening. But it's always just such a let down. About the only real excitement you get once you're past about 6 years old out of them is when you get burned by them because you didn't watch them close enough.

Yep.

Unlike Trump, who continually pandered to the pro-2A crowd while taking shit away, Cruz has a proven pro-2A background.

There's no question that there are a lot of spineless RINOs who unashamedly pander for votes though. Already, we've seen the ones who never pushed for a SINGLE pro-2A thing when we held the Presidency, House and Senate, NOW proposing pro-2A shit.

He is still under the illusion that the system can be fixed.  As long as he believes this he must abide by the rules of that system.  The system requires investigation to gather evidence, then prosecution of that evidence.  We had the evidence but it was not in a form that could be digested by the system.  He was trying to set up the investigation to get the evidence on record and was cock blocked by his rabble rousing allies who believe the system is broken and that they could change it by running into the capitol in a buffalo costume.

He did everything he could in his position as a US Senator, he will have my vote until he leaves public office.
