Yuck. Hope he gets primaries, and/or changes his mind.

Why does everyone think Cruz will get a serious primary challenge? The rubes run the TX GOP, there is no establishment here.

He's too extreme for me. I want him to be replaced with a less extreme Republican, but that won't happen. He'll win reelection, Safe R.

So she can get crushed in a landslide again?

What? She wasn't defeated in 2012, she decided to retire.

I'm assuming he meant to challenge Cruz in a primary. Here's how that worked out last time she tried to primary an incumbent Republican from the left.

Landslide upcoming. I wonder how high he can push his margin in a conservative state in what is likely to be a Republican year with a Democratic incumbent. 65%?

I doubt it. Cornyn got 62% and he isn't hated by the left with the burning passion of a thousand suns the way Cruz is. I'm guessing he'll get between 58-60%.

#NeverCruzForSenate

I'd almost vote for Wendy Davis to defeat him. I narrowly prefer Davis to him.

Can't see Davis beating him. I remember hearing a while back when people thought Davis could win the governorship. She ran a VERY pro-abortion campaign in a very pro-life state. And there are a lot of rural, far right "Yellow dog" Republicans in Texas. I can't see him losing.

I mean being pro-abortion WAS THE ONLY ISSUE Wendy Davis ran on. However, given that 2014 was a bad year for Democrats nationally she would have been crushed regardless.
