Ted Cruz will flame out, he'll be found in bed with sheep or pig

Truly a worse insult has never been directed at sheep or pigs.

my first thought....poor animal.

*MENTAL IMAGE OF ANIMAL ABUSE; EGREGIOUS*

...with someone else's Viagra prescription... which they'll discover next to the Cabana Boy in his luggage.

Cruz was surprised to win his Senate seat. He only ran to raise his profile for the actual office he wants, Attorney General of Texas. He started a PAC to raise money for this goal several years ago. Whatever the roots of the demonstrable character flaws he has been flaunting may be, he is doing it to burnish his creds with the Texas GOP base, so he can return home after his term ends and run for statewide office.

He sucks, but he'll be going back to Texas in five years. Maybe he'll change his mind and try to run for president, which I devoutly hope he does, but at the present time he is doing what he's doing so he can win backing for the gig he really wants back home.

...aren't there statewide elections in '14? He's definitely grandstanding and I'd bet he's getting a ton of donations for whatever he wants to do. Here's hoping you're right that he's only a temporary blight on the body politic, but I sense he's smelling bigger and better things...and money that can be made inside the beltway.

That said, the guy is a bulldog of a prosecutor, but also what appears to be a reckless one...hoping intimidation trumps all. We've seen these types come and go...and the go is usually associated with some scandal....

We already know that the GOP will support a diaper wearing John (Vitter). We already know they will support a 'doctor' who forced his mistress to get an abortion (desjarlais). They faithfully listen to a man who took so much Oxy that he damaged his hearing, and who went to another country for nefarious purposes (Rush). I don't think there is ANYTHING they could do, other than support Obama, that would cause the GOP base to stop supporting him.

No, what will get Cruz will probably be corruption. He is so stupid that he might get caught getting money for nothing. Maybe. And then only because he has pissed off somebody with his crap.

on whether the pig was male or female.

Taking bribes from gun makers.

huh?

I for one would put my eyes out if the aforementioned were Rush and Hannity and I happened to see video.

one of the Castro brothers replaces him as senator, and Texas goes blue. This guy is disgusting individual.

Unfortunately, Texas is still in a world where any republican can get elected. The Dem really had no chance. I pray that that changes, and changes soon. I do not care about the jokes about Texas, but I do care what happens to its citizens. Right now not much good is happening to/for them, and it is heartbreaking to watch.
