Discussion: Report: Rick Perry Urged Rep. McCaul To Primary Ted Cruz

Outside of a few people in Texas is Rick Perry relevant, at all, to anyone for any reason?

ā€œRick Perry holds Michael McCaul in the highest esteem,ā€ Perry spokesman Stan Gerdes wrote in an email to the publication.

I have no doubt that the majority of the Senate, let alone ex-Gov., want Carnival out of the Senate. Heā€™s burned too many bridges with everyone except for Sen. Lee.

Carnivalā€™s looking to the TX Governorā€™s mansion. I donā€™t think heā€™ll get that either.

Well, he was relevant to me (in California) as I refused to watch Dancing with the Stars this ā€œseasonā€ because he was in the cast. Him AND Ryan Lochte. So thereā€™s that. :wink:

Popcorn time.

Huh. Dancing With The Stars doesnā€™t stand on its own as a reason to not watch Dancing With The Stars? Who knew?

I am not a fan of Mike McCaul but I donā€™t ā€˜feelā€™ like he is as batsht crazy as Cruzā€¦but this IS Texas and I have been wrong before.

I donā€™t have to justify that DWTS is the only ā€œrealityā€ TV I watch, but Iā€™d be happy to sit down to dinner and discuss it with you. :slight_smile: And yeah, as a kid I competed in ballroom dance, so that probably explains a lot. :slight_smile:

I think the nightly news from about 1964 to 1973 ruined reality TV for me.

Thereā€™s a lot of room under that bar. Itā€™s like saying not as loopy as Louie Gohmert. Lends credence to the claim that everything is bigger in Texas.

Heā€™s the guy who knows where bodies are buried, so heā€™s still very relevant to Texas politicians.

If ā€œprimary Ted Cruzā€ means ā€œrun Ted Cruz over with your car,ā€ then I agree.

Heā€™s my rep, and if doesnā€™t seem as batshit crazy, thatā€™s because heā€™s less flamboyantly evil than many of his counterparts. Heā€™s more dangerous in my opinion, just because he is so plain vanilla in comparison.

Evan Smith asked him point-blank to his face if Trump would have to kill someone in front of him to lose his support. McCaul didnā€™t even say no to that; he just said he doesnā€™t support everything he does. He was out campaigning for Trump the next day.

I swear to dog I will give money to whomever wants to primary Ted fucking Cruz. I will even vote in the GOP Primary if someone will just primary Ted. I swear!

Well he can lie with the best of them. He did exactly that this afternoon when on with Wolf Blitzer, who did his part by letting McCaul blather on and on without challenge!
