so he knows he will never be President. He represents Red Texas. This makes him the perfect 'enforcer' for the far Right. He can pretty much say and do what ever he wants as he knows he will be re-elected and has advanced as far as he can politically unless he wants to be Gov of Tex someday. I think he is only getting started and will continue to play to his base with out fear of reprecussion. He can be the hatchet man for the 2016 ticket allowing the Nominee and VP Nominee to keep their hands clean. Question is how do the Dems counter or nuetralize him? That's my two cents anyway...
