Ted Cruz climbed aboard the wrong wagon and now his political career is in a ditch.

[Doodley]

He is one reason why Republicans lost in GA. He's gathered the support of less than a quarter of Republican Senators. Spreading conspiracy theories about voter fraud didn't do anything to elect Republicans. I can only imagine how much most GOP Senators must hate his guts. He thinks he can be the new Trump. Go for it! Follow in the footsteps of the world's biggest loser!

1. Hopefully that makes him more vulnerable in 2024

Beto needs to try to win that seat again

[TexasTowelie]

5. Beto will be busy teaching this next semester,

but I think he might have a decent chance if he runs for governor since Abbott has lost support among Republicans for his handling of the COVID situation who are upset about the business closures and mask requirements.

If we are lucky Cruz might not be in the 2024 race for senator anyway (see my comment below).

[TexasTowelie]

2. The only positive thing that I could find about Cruz running for president in 2024 is

that he can't run for senator at the same time. My apologies to the rest of the country.

[LeftInTX]

4. Yep!

[TexasTowelie]

6. I'm trying to be an optimist.

[LeftInTX]

7. That's a fact and Ted won't win the nomination, so we will no longer be stuck with him.

[Smackdown2019]

14. Wrong

FROM Expedia:

Elec. Code § 145.001(e) permits a person to run for office and simultaneously be a candidate for President or Vice President of the United States. This statute permitted Lyndon B. Johnson to run for Vice President in 1960 and, at the same time, seek re-election as United States Senator from Texas.

[TexasTowelie]

15. You're correct,

but can you blame me for trying to get rid of Ted Cruz?

[Smackdown2019]

24. Best way to get rid of Cruz

Is do what trump did to GA Senate...

Appointe him as a Secretary and then FIRE him...

[SunSeeker]

3. Hee hee.

[gab13by13]

8. Pardon my French, Fuck Ted Cruz.

[Cha]

9. Fucking ted

[wnylib]

10. National ambitions for Cruz might be

dead, but he'll still be beloved in red Texas.

[KayF]

11. but he'll have the memories

[LeftInTX]

12. He's gonna change his tune tomorrow...

He's gonna give a big boring speech about nothing: He will throw about bombs about, "Founding fathers, liberty, need for stricter voter laws"...He may back down from rejecting the electoral college...

I'm speculating

[My Pet Orangutan]

13. Most GOP Senators have ALWAYS hated Ted's guts.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Thanks For Cheering Me Up!!!

Anything that's bad for Cruz makes me happy!

[mnmoderatedem]

17. Tough hop there Ted. You should have gone down the sanity route

I guess you can take comfort in the fact you're hardly alone among repugs in that regard.

[Vinca]

18. Who knew "Green Eggs and Ham" would be his finest moment.

[smirkymonkey]

19. Hey, Ted!

[democrank]

20. Lot of good those knee pads did

Apparently ass-kissing the man who publicly stated Cruz’s wife was ugly and Cruz’s father was part of the plot to kill JFK didn’t gather up any glory. Sad!

[jaxexpat]

21. Alas, poor Texas, I knew her well, and she screwed up, big time.

[ConstanceCee]

22. Also

This probably also holds true for Josh Hawley.

[oasis]

25. Josh's half baked power play has put a major dent in his political career.

[Cirque du So-What]

23. He certainly ate a mile of shit

for the privilege of ending up behind the 8-ball. Womp womp.

[tanyev]

26. Hitched his wagon to a falling star.
