Paul Sadler Says Ted Cruz Should Go Back To Canada
Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Paul Sadler, taking a shot at his rival before the GOP convention in Tampa, made Republican Ted Cruzs foreign birth a campaign issue Friday and said Cruz's policy initiatives are far too radical for Texas.
He needs to go back to Washington where hes from, or Canada, because he doesnt reflect us, Sadler said. I was born and raised here
when you cut me, I bleed Texas. He doesnt, and I dont have much use for it.

The Democrat, fighting an uphill battle in a red state, said he will focus instead on visits with Texas voters. He suggested that Cruz cares more about the national spotlight than the state he wants to represent in the U.S. Senate.
If he wants to be a national movement type of politician, thats great, but Im going to be spending my time in Texas listening to Texans because Texas wants to pick its own senator, not have Washington pick it, Sadler said.

The trouble for Ted is that he'd be even further out on the fringes of the Canadian political spectrum than he would be here in Texas--even in Alberta.
