Ted Cruz Was An Even BIGGER Midterm Loser Than Trump

Things didn't go well for Donald Trump in last week's midterms, but things went even WORSE for Ted Cruz. Cruz had endorsed numerous candidates across the country - and even showed up to campaign for some of them. But as the votes were counted, it became clear that Cruz's endorsements didn't have the impact that he had hoped, and most of the people he showed up for ended up losing significantly.

Media outlets for the past week have been telling us over and over hell, I've been telling you over and over that the biggest loser in the 2022 midterms was in fact, Donald Trump. Well, it turns out we were wrong. And there was somebody who was an even bigger loser than Donald Trump last week, if you can believe it. And that individual happens to be none other than Republican Senator Ted Cruz, because much like Donald Trump, Ted Cruz went out there, he endorsed a lot of candidates, he went out and did events with them, raised money for 'em. And at the end of the day, after endorsing more than 24 different candidates, only 13 of them won. So Ted Cruz is rocking a success rate below 50%. So that's pretty bad. And Donald Trump's overall record for actual candidates, by the way, not the safe ones that he endorses.

Like he endorsed Marjorie Taylor Green. There was a 0% chance she was gonna lose her race, but he counts that as a victory. I don't. And actual, real competitive races where Donald Trump's endorsed people, his success rate is also below 50%. But because unlike Ted Cruz, he took a lot of safe bets this time, his uh, uh, success success rate for the midterms Trumps is more than 50% because again, he even endorsed some people that were running unopposed. So yeah, you're gonna win that. Cruz, on the other hand, he swung for the fences. And man, did he strike out hard because Cruz didn't just endorse people. He didn't just show up for 'em, He didn't just raise money for them. He used political action committees that he is affiliated with to also boost these people. So he lost across the board with a lot of these freaks that Cruz went out there to support.

Here it is only nine candidates who took part in his cruise 25 for 22 Victory Fund are currently leading their races, including his pal, Senator Mike Lee from Utah. And the truth and courage superPAC tied to him fair to even worse with only one win in three races, it funded. Cruz also leads the joint win the Senate 2022 uh, committee, but only three of five affiliated candidates won their races. So yeah, 13 victories out of more than 24 endorsements. And Ted Cruz isn't finished yet though. No, no, no, no. He was actually the first Republican to head to Georgia in what is now the official runoff Race to Go campaign with Herschel Walker. Of course, that was before it was revealed that Democrats did in fact win the Senate. So now Ted Cruz kind of looks like a bit of an idiot because that seat doesn't necessarily matter for the Republicans anymore. And you're gonna see a lot more Republicans pull back on their support

For Herschel Walker, at least not be as vocal about it. Now that control of the Senate is no longer up for grabs. Like that hurts Republicans. Democrats still need to go all in on Georgia. Okay, You want that seat? Do you need it? Probably not. But do you want it? Hell yeah, you do, because it would be very helpful for Republicans. Doesn't matter like you've already lost, there's nothing you can do about that. It's over. But Dangit Cruz went there before the news came out. The Democrats won the Senate, so that could be another one that he falls flat on his face with. See, it turns out that a lot of Republicans wanna look at themselves as in fact, the king makers. That's what Donald Trump wants to be. And apparently that's what Ted Cruz wants to be. But when you get down to it, the American public simply doesn't want anything to do with you.

It doesn't matter if they like you, they didn't like your candidates. So there's nothing you could do to make them vote for the freaks. But eventually those freaks do become associated with you, and that is gonna drag you down when you try to launch a national campaign, because at that point, they're not going to be able to separate the two of you.
