I’m a Texas Republican primary voter, and I am voting for Michael Williams.

waste of money. But I like how NC does it with 40% but 50% can be ridiculous with crowded fields. Or Iowa 35% but then the party pics the candidate at convention. Then there needs to be a stomping rule, Like for Nikki Haley being with in 1 point of 50% and a head over 20 points. Like if the nearest candidate is more than 15 points away no runoff. And It can prolong the process and in close races let the dems decide their candidate faster and gain an advantage while we in fight.

if you don’t care why comment 3 times?

Both are electable….for me Cruz has more upside potential, but you are a Texas voter, and I’m not.

In most states this would actually be bad news, like in Indiana where we divided the Conservative vote and let the least Conservative candidate win. But Texas has what all states should have, a Runoff system. The most liberal candidate won’t be able to sneak in, he will simply make a runoff, then lose to the Conservative candidate with the most votes in round 1. I look forward to an awesome, and positive, primary campaign on the issues. We as Conservatives will be winners whether its Cruz or whether its Williams that makes the runoff and beats the more liberal guy. Welcome to the race Teddy!

I would hope those potential POTUS candidates from Texas go through the Governor’s office and not the Senate.
I do not know Cruz but I look forward to learning all about him in the next few months. If he is a POTUS candidate in the future I would hope he bails quick and aim to follow Perry.

I do not know where you live, but I can tell you that I will seriously look at which candidate I choose to vote for to be my US Senator. My top priorities are not going to be based on whether the candidate is in his 40′s or in his 50′s, whether the candidate wears a bow tie or a straight tie, and whether the candidate has aspirations for running for President. My major priority will be to vote for the most conservative candidate that has the best likelihood of winning the majority of votes needed. You can appeal to me to consider Ted Cruz if you consider this priority. The post that you made as a reason to support Cruz does not appeal to me at all.

Johnson is independently wealthy. Franken has star power and some money and in a state that favors him Based on the DFL behind his name. And Webb also had a lot going for him. As much as I don’t like career politicians Williams has faced the Texas electorate (statewide) 3 times. Proof that he can win.
