Sniveling worm Ted Cruz whines for funds as Republicans turn their backs on Texas

Back in the chaotic year of 2021, as Texas suffered through a catastrophic winter storm that left millions without power, Senator Ted Cruz made headlines for all the wrong reasons—he jetted off to Mexico. This trip, which came at a time when many Texans were enduring extreme hardships, was only revealed after social media users spotted him at an airport. Since then, Cruz has faced significant backlash, and now he seems surprised that many in his own party aren’t rallying to support him.

In a recent appearance on the Mark Levin Show, Cruz lamented about being “massively outspent” and how Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has targeted him as a key opponent in upcoming elections. He directed some of his frustration toward Mitch McConnell, claiming that McConnell’s PAC had not contributed a single penny to his campaign, despite the substantial funds available. Cruz’s ongoing complaints echo his previous claims during his 2018 campaign, where he described it as “the most expensive Senate race” ever and claimed to be outspent 3-1, despite McConnell’s PAC having a massive war chest.

This lack of financial support raises questions about Cruz’s relationships within the Republican Party. Instead of mending these connections, Cruz has seemingly focused on promoting his podcast. Given his history of being one of the most disliked figures in politics—Rolling Stone even compiled a list of notable people who can’t stand him, including former President George W. Bush and comedian Andy Richter—it’s no surprise that support from fellow Republicans is hard to come by.

Former Senator Al Franken has shared his disdain for Cruz, highlighting his reputation as a difficult colleague and even criticizing his “notable achievement” of shutting down the government. Yet, while being universally reviled may seem detrimental, Cruz’s political survival hinges more on alliances than on popularity. In a surprising twist, Trump, who once criticized Cruz, endorsed him recently, lauding his role in “Delivering Historic Tax Cuts” and claiming he will always prioritize Texas and America.

With Cruz’s opponent, Democrat Colin Allred, closing the gap in the polls—now just one point behind—Cruz will need every bit of support he can muster. Trump’s endorsement could provide a crucial boost, illustrating that in the political arena, money and power often outweigh personal feelings.
