Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) didn’t write off the possibility of re-entering the Republican presidential race during a Tuesday interview with Glenn Beck.

Beck asked Cruz if he would consider getting back in the race if he wins the Tuesday Nebraska primary.

The Texas senator told Beck that he would “respond accordingly” if he again sees a “path to victory.”

Cruz also dismissed calls for a third party candidate as an alternative to Trump.

“I don’t think that’s very likely,” he said.

  1. I complained because there was too much Trump on TPM. Now we have stories about Cruz. I was wrong. Go back to Trump, please.

  2. You know he will do something insane at the convention…sort of like forcing a shut down of the government when everybody told him it was a deadend, but he did it anyway. He listens to no man…only the voices in his head he likes to call Gawd.

    He’s holding on to those delegates he managed to sway his way (by hook and by crook) like they were golden turds on top of the GOP shit pile.

    I hope at the convention, Trump just leaves a loop of Ted eating his own booger playing on the big screens.

  4. Hey, there is ALWAYS room for a Theocratic Fascist in the Republican Presidential race.
    Who else is there to serve the needs of the Christian Dominionist movement if not for the “anointed one”: Ted Cruz?
    Surely not the Devotee of Mammon: Donald Trump, or the Whore of Babylon: Hillary Clinton.
    Why, if I didn’t know better, I would say that God doesn’t WANT Ted (anointed) Cruz to be President!

  5. How about how Hillary is in Kentucky today and what she’s saying about early childcare for working mothers. That would be a novel idea. Covering the leading Democratic candidate and her proposals and policies for all to know who are too lazy to visit her website. Imagine covering ideas instead of back and forth insults on the Republican side on a daily basis that literally add up to nothing.
