Ted Cruz 2028 Thread 1/

Let's do Rafael, shall we? #CancunCruz

Why do I say Ted Cruz is the CLEAR front-runner for the first GOP nomination race after Trump (I assume Trump runs in 2024 of course, so I mean in 2028)

Do not think about this RATIONALLY like a Democrat
Think Maga

Ted Cruz Thread 2/

Ted Cruz is the most hated politician in America

All Democrats hate Ted Cruz
All Independents hate Ted Cruz
All former Republicans who left the party hate Ted Cruz
All remaining RINO Republicans hate Ted Cruz
All Maganutter Republicans hate Ted Cruz

but wait

Cruz Thread 3/

Ted Cruz is hated by everybody

All Republicans hate him
His wife hates him
His kids hate him
His dog hates him
His mom hates him
His dad ran away to go kill JFK, just to get away from Ted

That Thing infesting his face? Hates him

Even Ted Cruz hates Ted Cruz

Cruz Thread 4/

How can a man, UNIVERSALLY HATED incl ALL FACTIONS inside his OWN PARTY - be the GOP front-runner

Do not think of this rationally. Do not think like a Democrat

You have to put your mind into magamode
Think like a Repulsican

Ask: What would Gohmert do?

Cruz Thread 5/

I need to do an analogy for us. About weather

Someone, anyone? can you fetch me Al Roker?

No? Ok, does anybody have a competent weather forecaster for us?

Ok, you, Mr tiny-hands, you will do. Make room for our substitute weatherman, the dude with the sharpie...

Cruz Thread 6/

If you go camping on an overnight trip and it is sunny today, but the weather forecast says it will rain tomorrow morning

will you pack your rubber boots?

of course you will

HOLD THIS THOUGHT

Cruz Thread 7/

Ted Cruz is a smart politician (even though he is slime, he is smart, he knows how the GOP Presidential nomination race works - he came in SECOND in 2016)

Ted KNEW that Trump will end up in prison

Like you knew the weather forecast promises rain for tomorrow

Cruz Thread 8/

Ted Cruz is the ONLY viable GOP Presidential nominee who NEVER said a bad word about Trump, starting at the July 2016 GOP Convention

Not once. Cruz has just kept on kissing Trump's ass

Cruz HATES Trump & Trump hates Cruz
but Cruz kept kissing his ass

Cruz Thread 9/

Compare to ALL OTHER potential GOP nominees

ALL OF THEM

Have had a 'brave moment' to tell the truth - disagree with Trump, some more meekily than others

Chris Christie
Sen Lindsey Graham
Mike Pence
Romney
Nikki Haley
John Kasich
Gov Death Santis
Marco Rubio
etc

Cruz Thread 10/

The ONLY one who never once said Trump was wrong (ever since the 2016 July GOP convention) was Rafael #CancunCruz

He has publically taken grandstanding positions to 'support' Trump including his promise to argue Trump's case in front of Supreme Court

Cruz Thread 11/

REMEMBER THE WEATHER FORECAST. The Rubber Boots

Cruz KNEW Trump goes to prison. Sooner or later. When Trump is done, there will be a vacuum. The NEXT GOP nomination race will be open, and THEN... it belongs to Ted Cruz

..because..

Cruz Thread 12/

Because Cruz knows TV debates. He will CRUSH the opposition who claim to be protecting Trump's legacy, by pointing out WHAT that opponent once said, when Trump was vulnerable

But Chris, didn't you say
But Lindsey, when you wrote
But Nikki, didn't you also say

Cruz Thread 13/

Ted Cruz knows as long as Trump is there, Trump wins the GOP nomination, and Cruz will step aside, not challenge him

WEATHER FORECAST: BOOTS

Cruz is playing for the rainy morning, boots. He is preparing to be 'only pure Trumpist' then, when Trump is in PRISON

Cruz Thread 14/

There will be a RISING tide of 'Never Again Trump' wing in GOP at that time. That space is HEAVILY CONTESTED, with many viable candidates from John Kasich to Romney to Liz Cheney

And many try to go both ways, like Chris Christie, #LeningradLindsey & Nikki Haley

Cruz Thread 15/

Ted Cruz knows, the KNOCK-OUT GAME starts in the debates. His team will release videos of Cruz's strongest rivals, one by one, before a given debate, where that rival 'betrayed Trump'

And Cruz then skewers the rival as a traitor in the debate

Cruz Thread 16/

This is the way, in the 2027-2028 GOP nomination debate season, that Ted Cruz eliminates rivals for the 'Trump Maga wing' of the GOP nomination fight

And emerges as clear front-runner to take GOP 2028 nomination (then selects Nikki Haley or Condi Rice as his VP)

Cruz Thread 17/

If you are a Democrat, remember GOP primaries are winner-take-all races

No matter how insane we see the maganutters, even when Trump is sent to prison, a part of GOP will want Trumpism. They cannot extinguish it in a few years. Maybe a decade

Cruz = frontrunner

Cruz Thread 18/

Of course as Cruz is America's most hated politician, he will lose in his general election (in 2028, giving us President Kamala Harris)

Wanna silver lining? When Trump is in prison in 2028, Trump will insist his followers WRITE IN TRUMP instead of voting for Ted
