@tedcruz Large numbers of people were screaming; of victory Ted was still dreaming, but his campaign fell short. Now no one can support this senator seen to be scheming, our Democracy to undermine; it’s the Republican #partyline.
🙏🏼 @scuds57

@tedcruz @scuds57 Bob & Eric went to #ParkwayWest to wish Senator Ted Cruz the best for his ’16 campaign. (Eric’s lawsuits insane 6 years later proved to be a pest.) With so many disgruntled #Longhorns, Cruz’s lost reputation he mourns — a gathering in #Chesterfield no Cruz nomination would yield.

@tedcruz @scuds57 Schmitt was proud to introduce Ted Cruz; he against Donald later would lose. Their March ’16 rally was not up folks’ alley. Eric too has the primary blues with a campaign strategy that fails; by a large gap he Greitens still trails.

@tedcruz @scuds57 In the polls Cruz was never ahead
but in ’16 Schmitt rooted for Ted
whom he preferred to Trump,
as seen here on the stump.
Just like Cruz, in no poll Eric led. 📉
Anyway, #Missouri|ans don’t mind:
vs. Greitens Schmitt is far behind.

@tedcruz @scuds57 Schmitt gathered at Ted Cruz’s altar
but Ted’s polling later would falter.
Although Ted endorsed Schmitt,
#Missouri’s hypocrite can’t
bank on a Rock of Gibraltar to help
shore up a crumbling campaign;
Eric’s eroding support is plain.
@tonymess 🙇🏼 @tishaura

@tedcruz @scuds57 @tonymess @tishaura Bob & Allison carolled for Ted,
but they wound up w/ Eric instead.
This convivial group
to Trump’s level would stoop,
not that Cruz in that race ever led.
Since Bob put it in the public square,
they were all at least publicly there.

@tedcruz @scuds57 @tonymess @tishaura Eric’s fortunes have sunk like a rock. Since his unrelenting crazy talk contains idiocy, every day voters flee this 🐍 oil salesman’s incessant squawk. Since ’16 he’s fallen so far: a pox on the #MissouriBar. Medical credentials Eric lacked as our schools w/ lawsuits he attacked.

@tedcruz @scuds57 @tonymess @tishaura Erics Argumente: Schlangenkot. Dabei grinst er mit den Wangen rot als wäre er Hexe, da diese Eidechse dem Donald bleibt ewig devot. Generalstaatsanwalt: Zähne groß. Setz Dich bloß nicht zu ihm auf den Schoß. Vernaschen wollt’ er nur ’n Häppchen vom Opfer: sie hieß ja Rotkäppchen.

Eric’s voter support isn’t strong.
Though DeSmet’s acclaimed grad
gave what little he had,
Eric’s arguments are proven wrong
every time that he loses in court —
his flawed logic few judges support.

for his lawsuits tarnished his repute.
As he @RoyBlunt’s seat chased,
state resources he’d waste, so
his campaign financing ain’t cute.
After Eric public funds misspent,
in the polls he “won” 15%.

prosecution duties he’d escape
with this #copout to Mike.
It’s why voters dislike
failed officials who attempt to ape
an illusion of legal reform while
maintaining #Missouri’s sick norm.

prompted Tucker to make Ted backtrack. After Cruz had lost face
in the #Missouri race
he decided to endorse a hack: an
ex-Treasurer (now AG) Schmitt,
just a ladder-climbin’ hypocrite.

Ladder-climbing’s his thing,

Now at 15%, Eric’s campaign descent
signifies that #Missouri’s averse

Schmitt financed it on the public dime.

That’s a bit of new data that Schmitt may have feared. In the past 6 years of Cruz’s crime, Eric hasn’t merited Ted’s time. #mosen 🤷🏼‍♂️ #cruzcrew

(unlike Saarinen’s Arch)
shows that Eric still has failed to weld

sagging vis-à-vis Greitens per polls.
