I'll that Thune over Cornrow any day.

I don't trust either one of them. Would be thrilled to be proven wrong, however.

Agree I just think Thune is the lesser of two evils

Vote tally was 23-15-13 (Thune Cornyn Scott) per source

Swamp wins. Screw the GOP establishment.

Hope you're correct in that assessment. Slightly less bad, is still bad, given the time constraints with the midterms in 2026. Trump's runway to get major things done is limited.

Guess the tide is turning?

---

Meaning Cruz was pressured not to act like a RINO?

---

Cruz is literally the guy who got Scott to run the first time. If Cruz is a RINO I guess I am too. If you can't see that this was rumors started by people that hate Cruz and are is about the battle for influence you really don't understand the game. Next up will be Rand Paul is really a tax and spend liberal. I mean Cruz has been fighting the RINOs and McConnell and Cornyn literally since Day 1 in the Senate.

---

Take a deep breath and read what I said again

---

So "Act like a RINO" is different than being a RINO? K.

---

Yeah, because I know he typically isn't one.

---

Heritage score of 90%, 92% Lifetime. Average GOP Senator is 62%
American Conservative Union rating of 93, Lifetime over 96%

---

Yeah, I'm struggling to get the "Cruz ain't conservative enough" position. Is this purely because he ran for the '16 Republican nomination against Trump and 50 other Rs?

---

Logic and MAGA don't go together.

Loyalty and fealty to Trump is all that matters to them. By daring to run against Trump in 2016, Cruz will always be seen as the enemy by those who's loyalty is not to conservatism, but to Trump and only Trump.

---

You really need to go back to your hole and rest for a while........

You are absolutely wrong about how Trump supporters (MAGA) see Cruz.

You are sounding like someone working at MSNBC........Rachel Maddow!

Your broad brush derogatory stroke on people that believe in Make America Great Again (MAGA) is still disgusting now, as it has been for the last 4 years or so.

I honestly think you don't believe in the concept of Make America Great Again, or you simply can't comprehend it.

Take a break....

One thing Trump has in common with Trump is energy and it's the life's blood for his state.
