The Official Ted Cruz is doing AwEsOmE thread

[Blake]

Texas Senator Ted Cruz has been criticized for sharing a video of him having "ridiculous fun" playing a charity poker game soon after first funerals of the Uvalde school shooting victims began taking place.

On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host discussed the NRA convention last Friday, which he called the “annual meeting of the mindless” and which took place just 300 miles away from the site of the Uvalde school shooting.

It wasn’t cancelled despite various pleas and Kimmel criticised the “shameful timing” and also the Texas senator Ted Cruz for spreading “his slime all over the NRA halls”.

Last week Cruz was confronted during dinner at a restaurant over his refusal to take action after yet another shooting. Kimmel said he “must know that at this point every busboy spits in his food” and hoped that he “never gets to eat peacefully in a restaurant again”.

He needs to announce retirement ahead of 2024. Need a much more electable and non cringe America First Republican to take his senate seat in 2024. Maybe a Louie Gohmert type. Definitely not Dan Cringeshaw or George P. Bush.

Heck, if Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker become senators in PA and GA, who's to stop Ted Nugent from running for senate in TX and winning in 2024? I know he's getting old but...

Well, at least Rafael did not take off to Cancun with his family (leaving dog to fend for itself), so there is that.

[Medvedenko]

A lot of stupid people voting for even stupider republicans.

In Cruz's defense, he paid the security guard to feed his dog. Definitely something you do when you take a less than 24 hour trip

Someone has to take his useless ass down eventually

[GAustex]

Nah Cruz is alright but should do more
Cronyn needs to be primaried and replaced

Yeah Cornyn is racist enough to be a Republican, he's just not blunt enough for today's GOP.

The big cities are nearly all democrat but this state is is still spread out too far and wide with enough small town, retarded, Bible thumping, gun pumping hicks to keep Cruz in office over and over.
