Poll: Perry leads Cruz in hypothetical Senate match-up

[RandySF]

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) leads Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in a hypothetical 2018 Senate primary match-up, a new poll finds.

The survey from left-leaning Public Policy Polling found Perry leading his former GOP presidential rival by 9 points, 46 percent to 37 percent, with 18 percent undecided, according to the Texas Tribune.

Perry is the only potential challenger that tops Cruz in the poll. Cruz holds a 22-point lead over Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) and a 32-point lead over Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas).

In a general election match-up with Democrats, the poll also showed Perry leading Housing Secretary Julián Castro, as well as former gubernatorial nominee Wendy Davis by 12 points.

1. Well, I sure don't like Perry! He's a dumbass idiot, BUT

He's better than Cruz. Hell, anybody is better than Cruz!

2. I never got the 'evil' vibe from him...

... that I did from Cruz.

If news broke tomorrow that Ted Cruz kept a dozen virgins chained in his basement and was eating them piece by piece, I wouldn't be that surprised.

3. About the only things we could expect from a Senator Rick Perry:

Several funny oops moments on the Senate floor, and a possible sponsorship of a bill to change the name of the Big Bend National Park to "Bigger Bend."
