Reublican presidential candidate Ted Cruz argued in a recent interview that the United States would be better off and he would be more liked if the White House moved to Texas.
On Sundays edition of State of the Union, CNN host Dana Bash pointed out to Cruz that he was not the most popular person among Republican lawmakers. But again, when you are president of the United States, you have to have some level or measure of liability in order to reach out and get things done, Bash explained. How will you overcome that?
According to Cruz, there was an inverse relationship between being reviled in Washington and appreciated back home.
Sticking to the claim that it had actually been Democrats who shut down the government when he filibustered over President Barack Obamas health care reform law, Cruz recalled that he had been hailed as a hero in Texas.
You were in Texas when I came home to the State Convention of the Texas Federation of Republican Women, and you saw the reaction of, in that case, the women back home who enthusiastically appreciated someone who was standing and fighting for them, he opined.

(20,890 posts)Ted Cruz and his government shutdown that cost the country billions and me 3 weeks of work was popular with a few hundred women in Texas that would vote Republican even if Ted Cruz told them he was indeed the anti-Christ. Take that Dana Bash. In your face. He might almost carry a county in Texas with that "Huge" support base.
Why didn't he just use the "Hey, my mom likes me card while he was at it?"

That aside, if he thinks the people at his rallies in texas are truly representative of the mainstream voters in the country he is out of his mind.
