Beto O’Rourke (D) pledged in an interview with the Texas Tribune “to serving out the full six-year term in the Senate if elected, pushing down buzz that he might make a run at the White House in 2020.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R) did not quite say the same. His reply, which went on for two minutes but did not answer the question, concluded with, “We should be standing up for who we are as Texans and Americans.”

1. lol, Cruz has been a part time Texas Senator as it stands as his ego is his job #1 and O'Rourke

4. I called Lyin' Ted's office yesterday

Just to tell the staffer that answered the phone that I was sorry that he had to work for someone like Ted Cruz.

Yes, it’s juvenile. But the SOB doesn’t listen to his constituents any way, and it made me laugh.

5. He'll never learn, will he? He'll never be elected president...he's too smarmy, too ...

arrogant, too slimy. Mr. O'Rourke is everything opposite cruz. A ray of sunshine vs. the dark pits of hell comparison.

6. Oh, dear God. Don't tell me he's considering another Presidential run! Save us from the horror! nt

7. trump lite running again?

He won't make it far this time. People hate this guy in Texas and the rest of the country, and he won't stand a chance. He's also going to have troubles if he accepted for himself or his campaign any funds funneled thru others to him. If he has ties to anything tied to russians or putin, or companies that they used he's toast. He may not make to this upcoming election without being exposed. Many in their party will be exposed eventually. People in Texas are running away from this monster Cruz. No one lies that much that isn't corrupt.

8. Another reason not to vote for him...

Great!

9. He's not ruling out trying to run against Trump? Hmm.

[FakeNoose]

10. Maybe he thinks Cheeto will pick him as his running mate in 2020?

That's the only thought that comes to my mind.

Crazy, huh?
