After spending the last year railing against the Washington establishment on the campaign trail, it looks like Ted Cruz wants to stick around the belly of the beast, the U.S. Senate.
The Texas troublemaker announced Wednesday afternoon that he filed paperwork to run for his seat again in 2018, and that his senatorial campaign committee had been reactivated in the wake of the suspension of his presidential campaign.
“Heidi and I feel incredibly privileged to have made the run for president and be part of an incredible grassroots movement,” Cruz said in a press release. “I will continue fighting for jobs, freedom, and security in the Senate for 27 million Texans and all Americans across this great country. The conservative movement remains strong and vibrant. When conservatives are united, we are far more effective.”
Of course, a 2018 campaign to keep his Senate seat doesn’t preclude another White House bid in 2020.
“When conservatives are united, we are far more effective.”
Just imagine how much more effective you could be if you were sane, logical and humanistic. But then you’d be Democrats.
So basically he’s going to spend the next two years raising more money?
Well Theodore you got about 1,230,000 votes in your home state primary, a whopping 43%/
Oh WAIT!!!
That means 57% of Republicans in your home state voted against you!
Imagine that…
I think it’s bye bye for little teddie…we hardly knew ye. Thank dog for that!
Perhaps there is a county position out in Muleshoe you’d be a good fit for.
Just what those GOP bastards in the Senate deserve.
Where else is he gonna go? Even his kids won’t have him…
