Ted Cruz for Senate

[Renegade]

If Allred were running against Cornyn, I'd have to think about who to vote for.
Hopefully someone can Primary Cornyn next time around.

Yep, running biker chick was a major mistake. So was running Beto vs Cruz last time. If Dems just ran a reasonable moderate, Cornyn might be gone.

Ha ha! You put "Dim" and "reasonable moderate" in the same sentence!
Unicorns, for sure.
MAYBE Joe Manchin?
RFK...

I wouldn't....Allred all the way. A freshman Dem will do a lot less damage than a senior RINO with evil in his mind. Same reasoning I would have preferred Hegar to Cornyn.

Allred is just a jerk. Yup, ad is about abortion only, but he states 'if my wife had a problem she couldn't get help'. BS, just Dems pushing abortion by tax funding. Big voter push for this across the plain states. D voters will cry if/when he gets into ANY office. Funny, DMN used to be against Rs, now endorses some. Guess as nobody subscribes anymore they gotta change.
Johnson changed to R, to get elected again.

A freshman Dem will vote the liberal line on EVERY vote, not just the occasional bad vote. That is more damaging.

Yep. The goal of voting the dem is to get rid of the RINO, and regroup 6 years later. But if that plan fails and the Dem becomes a lifer, major loss.

A vote for any de-socialist, is always a vote for their party line every vote, they are the borg... they less than rarely buck the the party/system.

....and that's different from Cornyn how?

Cornyn has to vote for some conservative legislation once in a while so he can keep up appearances. A freshman Dim will vote 100% DNC party line for the same reason.

Cornyn has vote with Biden 48.5% of the time.

Allred has voted 100% of the time with Biden.

Cruz only 13.8%

 

[General Zod]

Cornyn has vote with Biden 48.5% of the time.

Why, that's exactly the same as 100.0% of the time according to some...

Don't act so stupid. I know you are not.

Perhaps, but it sure as hell isn't 13.8%.

 

[General Zod]

Perhaps, but it sure as hell isn't 13.8%.

Yeah, but if the choice is between someone who betrays us almost 50% of the time, or someone who's going to oppose us 100% of the time, it doesn't make sense to vote for the dedicated enemy and hope things get better next election.

I don't disagree one bit. I would just prefer more Ted Cruzes and no John Cornyn's in our mix.

I keep voting against Cornyn in the primaries, but to no avail.

Brother, you are not alone.

As long as he's in good with the entrenched "go along to get along" republicans, he's safe. They'll withhold support from anyone who tries to primary him. I think Col. West is the only one who's got enough instant recognition to give Cornyn a challenge without that party support.

This exactly.

I think West has not only the name recognition, but also the cred amongst GOP primary voters who are generally the most conservative and politically savvy in my opinion versus those who just show up to vote GOP in the general.

I think he just picked the wrong target in Abbott, but could beat Cornyn, and maybe quite handily. Let's hope he tries.

Better be leery of Colin Alred. He is a very popular representative and could be a challenge to Cruz. Remember Cruz almost got his ass kicked by that goofball pseudo-hispanic Beto O'Rourke a couple of years ago, so there are enough half wit democrats around to elect Alred. Cruz is not all that popular and very controversial and could possibly be beat. We can not afford to let the dems keep control of the Senate any more.

Just FYI Colin Alred is a Soros backed candidate.
