Disgraced puppet of moderate neocons, who had been branded as 'lying Ted' by MAGA, could be on his way out?

Trump adviser says Cruz could lose Senate race

By John Bowden - 09/08/18


An adviser to President Trump reportedly told GOP donors on Saturday that it was a possibility that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) could lose his Senate race to Democratic challenger Rep. Beto O'Rourke (Texas), citing likability.

White House budget chief Mick Mulvaney told Republicans at a closed-door meeting that it was a "possibility" that Cruz could lose his Senate race while Republicans such as Florida Gov. Rick Scott could win, The New York Times reports.

“There’s a very real possibility we will win a race for Senate in Florida and lose a race in Texas for Senate, OK?” Mulvaney said, according to audio obtained by the Times.

Um, yeah. Ted is a weasel.

Locally, I can tell you that up until about two weeks ago, the only political signs in anyones yards in my very GOP neighborhood/town were for Beto. And while yard signs don't always mean anything (see Ron Paul circa 2008), the dearth of Ted Cruz signs speaks volumes.

David Hogg + President Trump = Senator Beto O'Rourke

[spudea]

Nah not a chance, same $#@! was said about turning Texas blue in 2016.. He hasn't been Lyin Ted since the inauguration. Now its Lion Ted MAGA.

[thoughtomator]

Not a prayer in hell. Mulvaney is a swamp weasel.

But Cruz should definitely face a primary challenger next time around. Major fail for the Texas GOP not to provide a better candidate than this one.

Cruz is ok, he votes with Rand on average more than the rest of the senate. I'm not picky and running against Rand gave me a horrible impression of him but campaigns are war. On the bigger picture, it could be much much worse.

Mulvaney is considered an ally of the liberty movement.

Whats up with all of the zero sum game'ers here? You opposed to building coalitions? Ron loved coalition building, finding common ground with anybody he could.

[nikcers]

I think he is just trolling Cruz's supporters so they show up to vote. I don't think that he is that unpopular with all the money he spent in 2016 he should be able to win his re-election.

New poll finds Sen. Ted Cruz in statistical tie with Democratic challenger Beto O'Rourke

Aug. 27, 2018

Republican incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz is in a statistical dead heat with Rep. Beto O'Rourke in Texas, according to an Emerson College e-poll published Wednesday.

The e-poll, which was conducted from Aug. 22-25 with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percent, found Cruz with 38 percent of the vote, O'Rourke with 37 percent and 21 percent of respondents undecided.

According to the poll, the biggest challenge for Cruz in his path to a second term in the U.S. Senate is among independent voters. Cruz had a 57 percent unfavorable and only 25 percent favorable rating within that group, the poll found.

Mulvaney is considered an ally of the liberty movement.

By whom? He's a Cantor/Romney pet, exactly the kind of person a liberty movement would want to primary back when he held office.

Also... what liberty movement? It died with Ron's failure to support his son's campaign. The only thing that can remotely be called a liberty movement anymore that is actually alive in the real world... is Trumpism: Trump as Moses, issuing the demand to the Deep State Pharohs, "let my people go".

Everyone who thinks Lyin Ted is ok, forgets Ron Paul endorsing him only for Cruz to stab him in the back. Also Cruz's wife works for Goldman Sacks.

[eleganz]

Extra Extra!! Your purity only works on RPF.

D.C. is full of deal making one day and backstabbing the next. If you go there with only the mindset of all or nothing, you will leave with nothing.

If I look at congress as a whole and then consider Cruz/Mulvaney and how often they work with liberty officials in contrast to the rest of congress, yea its acceptable.

Ron Paul was principled, but he found common ground with people and worked with them.

[euphemia]

Cruz did not vote to defund Planned Parentood. It will turn out to be one of the worst votes of his career. If he unchallenged now, he won’t be next time, and he will be held to account for this.

[RonZeplin]

Carly Fiorina falls off the stage, lyin' Ted ignores it as Republicans block the camera with Ted Cruz 2016 signs.

[r3volution 3.0]

The GOP has a better chance of losing Texas this year than for many years, but I'd say Cruz is still extremely likely to win.

For the mid-terms in general, there won't be much movement in the Senate one way or the other; the action will be in the House.

The problem is that Rafael is a gaping $#@! and just about everybody has figured it out. From what I've read, people actually like his opponent as a person --whether that is his real persona or not. Since politics is more about showmanship and sales than actual ideology, this presents a big problem for Cruz.

I agree, Beto does not represent Texan values in any way but he has been able to divert so much attention and money toward Texas, its going to take that much help away from the crucial house races. Its brilliant to be honest, even if it was dumb luck.

Agreed. The tussle over House seats translates into the sly,
shady deals that Democrats cut in order to get a leverage
over what they just might do in terms of going after DJT.
Perhaps everyone is TRUMP Derangement Syndrome. His
followers are a cult, his opponents obsess on him, and the
people who aren't in either camp are being driven up the wall.

Haven't you heard? He's a triple meat Whataburger. That's pretty Texan.

There have been articles about the signs in the media. The Cruz campaign says it's intentional that they have spent their money on other things because they don't think they help much. I'm sure they miscalculated though, completely dumb move. It does give Beto the perception of momentum, makes Cruz seem to not be taking the race serious. If they'd just tossed 50K into signs and distributed them in each county both the media, us, and Texas wouldn't be talking about how Cruz might lose because signs. Perception is reality.

[Bern]

I haven't been paying a lot of attention the news about the Cruz (or Beto) campaigns - mostly just reading social media chatter. I definitely didn't see any reports about the dearth of Cruz signs being a deliberate campaign strategy.

[William Tell]

Here it is. Lol, stupid campaign team. https://www.texastribune.org/2018/08...uz-yard-signs/

This looks good right here, I don't care who you are.. needs another patty and another cheese slice tho

Lol, that reminds me of when Sid Miller attacked his primary opponent for standing in front of a Nutella sign. What is with the good food smears?

[Anti Globalist]

Doubt he's going to lose. He'll beat his democrat opponent in a landslide. Texas won't become a blue state anytime soon.

Impeaching Retard will only make a martyr of him (which is to say that Dems, being idiots, may well impeach him if given the chance).

It would be much better if he simply lost an election; that is really the only way to influence the Trumpenproletariat.

Neither one will happen.

[r3volution 3.0]

Neither one will happen.

He very likely won't get impeached.

If the Dems win the House, some cooler heads will likely prevail.

But he will very likely lose his re-election effort, especially if there's a recession in the next year or so, which there probably will be.

Then he will be unable to claim credit for the astounding resiliency of the market economy in spite if his/Obama's socialistic policies.

While neither will happen the first is more likely than the second.

No, not at all, haha, you need to stop reading Breitbart's attempts at written English.
