The Texas senator’s questionable podcast deal with iHeartMedia is raising eyebrows amid his increasingly desperate fundraising efforts
THE WALLS ARE closing in around Ted Cruz, and the Republican senator is lashing out.
Cruz, who has served two terms as Texas junior senator, is facing a tough reelection challenge from former NFL player and current U.S. Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas), who won Texas’ Democratic Senate primary in a landslide victory last month.
On Wednesday, Cruz begged for donation on Fox News while complaining that Allred is out fundraising his 2018 challenger, former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, by leaps and bounds.
“The Democrats are coming after me, they are gonna spend more than $100 million this year, George Soros is already spending millions of dollars in the state of Texas,” Cruz told Sean Hannity. “My opponent a liberal Democrat named Colin Allred, is out raising Beto O’Rourke, my last opponent, 3 to 1. They are flooding millions of dollars into Texas — and the reason is simple. You remember my last reelection, it was a 3-point race. I won by 2.6 percent.”

Anywhere else in the world he would expect to lose it
Rafael Cancun?
Turd Cruds
Fled cruz
In red Texas, they vote AllRed?
I’ll be happy to see Ted voted out.
Better red than Ted?
Hopefully Allred can turn Texas all blue.
These headlines come out literally every time he’s up for reelection. And he wins so easily. I feel like it’s just clickbait. Or worse, calls for donations for a doomed campaign
Lindsay Graham did the same thing in his last re-election
And Mitch McConnell. Many people donated to his opponent rather than donating to other races that were Actually competitive.
Oh sheet a footballer? Ted is cooked. They all claim to be christian but we know who the true god of Texas is. The almighty pigskin.
Nobody in Texas outside of Dallas or Houston cares about the NFL, though. It matters more that he played college ball at Baylor, I think.
I thunk it also matters that he wasn’t very good. According to his Wikipedia page, he only played in 32 games over 4 years as a pro. That probably saved his brain from CTE.
The guy went on to get a law degree and a career in government, so you’re probably right. His brain didn’t get scrambled too badly from the NFL.
You could argue, though, that if his brain did get scrambled he would make the perfect MAGA Republican
Ted Cruz is a lickspittle traitor who blamed his daughters for his leaving the State during an emergency and tried his hardest to overthrow the government.
Nothing would make me happier than to throw him out of office kicking and screaming on his wolf-scrotum-looking face.
And that’s the nicest thing I can say about him.
Hey now, that association is very unfair to wolf scrotums.
Excellent points, all. Perhaps a bit harsh to wolf scrotums which, unlike Ted Cruz, have a clear and useful purpose for their existence.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!
Remember Trump trashing his wife and father during the primary a few cycles ago and Ted working the phone bank after being thrashed?
Lmao thank you for this photo
The last time we were sure that we were gonna flip Texas blue was November of 2016. Nothing is done until the voting and the inevitable Republican post-election violence are over. This is fundraising propaganda designed to frighten his party faithful, not an accurate statement about how he currently feels in this election cycle. But it is possible, and would be pretty amazing if we could make it happen. Vote, donate, do the work.
Here in Texas, we can vote all blue AND Allred, at the same time.
You should be this man’s campaign manager, because that might actually work on Texans
Ted Cruz is a spineless snake-swine with no sense of morality and definitely no desire to do what’s right for anyone but himself.
Golly gee, for the fiscal responsibility party those republicans sure do seem to be having a whole lot of money troubles lately. Sure do wonder what that all’s about.
avocado toast, I am advised.
I’ll be doing my part to see this asshole off to Cancun or wherever the fuck else for good.
Vote, y’all!
Well, well, well…here come the consequences.
“The Democrats are coming after me, they are gonna spend more than $100 million this year, George Soros is already spending millions of dollars in the state of Texas,” Cruz told Sean Hannity.
I don’t know whether or not it’s true that Soros has done this, but I do know it’s super weird that he’s such a boogeyman to the right. He’s basically synonymous with The Devil in their playbook of riling up their base.
Anyway, it’s nice seeing them hate a billionaire for a change.
George Soros is a Jewish man who has spent lots of time and money fighting Soviet influence in eastern Europe.
Of course Republicans hate him.
They’d probably rather talk about a billionaire Democrat donor than acknowledging that billionaire Republican foundations are basically what funds their party.
Preemptive spin, or projection or whataboutism or guilt or something. Defense by offense. I doubt either party really wants to hang a lantern on their funding.
It is a dogwhistle. For the Repub’s voting base, which is Nazis, they understand he is talking about “Protocols of the Elders of Zion.”
Aka “THE JOOOOOZ!”
The only thing they hate as much, are the lgbt. Put them together, and you get the true republican kryptonite:
A glass of juice?
Fruit juice - gay jews
Ah, aight that makes sense.
Ted is one of the biggest AIPAC recipients this is great news.
Fire the Canadian already
Send him back, we don’t want him.
Fuck, you think we want him back? Shoot him into the sun
And this is why you don’t have your own space program. It’s far cheaper to yeet him out of the solar system, go halfsies on gas and we’ll call it square
Keep that shit away from me
- Sun
It’s actually kinda hard to get stuff into the sun, even still, he doesn’t have to go in to be well done.
But that much garbage being burned up in space will certainly cause some catastrophic problems
Well, shoot him in the opposite direction and it’ll be Alpha Centauri’s issue, they’re a few light years away, probably won’t have to come to terms with that for a few centuries minimum…
Articles like this leave me feeling giddy. Hopefully Texas gets an upgrade this November.
Thoughts and prayers Ted. Thoughts and prayers lmao
