Ted Cruz weighs another presidential run, setting up clash with Vance

What is wrong with TPUSA?

It is full of grifters and such who want to milk an assassination for their brand.

The one positive of Cruz and Vance discussions is that it increasingly cements Trump's status as lame duck.

Is Ted Cruz considering another run at the Presidency? Thoughts USMB? He is one of the more eloquent Senators currently. With Trump and DeSantis out, thats leaves Vance and Marco.

Ted Cruz weighs another presidential run, setting up clash with Vance​

He has feuded with Tucker Carlson and privately criticized the vice president, promoting traditional GOP foreign policies while warning against the threat of antisemitism in his party.

His friend Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization for America, told Cruz he believed that “Jew hatred and Israel bashing” was on the rise on the right — and that something had to be done about it. Cruz, who had begun a series of speeches decrying antisemitism in the GOP, told Klein he had been fielding requests from people urging him to run for president in 2028.

Cruz came across as someone “seriously” considering such a run, Klein recalled.

With the future of the party up for grabs in a Donald Trump-less 2028 primary, Cruz has in recent months positioned himself as a loud voice for a more traditional, hawkish Republican foreign policy. He’s also urging the GOP to rid itself of popular MAGA pundit Tucker Carlson, who he argues is injecting the “poison” of antisemitism into the movement with his broadsides against Israel. Carlson has rejected that characterization.

As he feuds with Carlson, Cruz is weighing a second presidential bid, according to a person close to the senator and another briefed on his thinking, who spoke like others on the condition of anonymity to disclose internal conversations. A White House run would be politically risky for Cruz, 55, putting him on course to collide with Vice President JD Vance, whom many Republicans expect to enter the 2028 race.
Friction is already evident behind the scenes: Cruz has criticized Vance, a close ally of Carlson, to Republican donors, according to two people familiar with the comments. The senator has warned that Vance’s foreign policy views are dangerously isolationist, the people said. (Vance has been one of the GOP’s most prominent skeptics of U.S. intervention abroad.)

The emerging rivalry shows how much the party has changed under Trump’s leadership since Cruz arrived in the Senate in 2013. After rising to prominence as a rebel against the establishment, Cruz is now a vocal champion of some longtime orthodox GOP positions, as a new generation of conservatives is ascending with a different vision.

I like Ted Cruz.... if J. D. Vance will not take The Dannion Brinkley, The David Icke and The Eric Roberts for V. P. campaign seriously....... .then I would suggest to Mr. Ted Cruz that he should at minimum begin discussions with them?

Your comment about the twenty two letters of the Hebrew alphabet after the 31:00 mark in this video is off the scale important and interesting!

Thread 'Dannion Brinkley, David Icke and Eric Roberts for V. P. for 2028?'

Dec 23, 2025

I have obsessively researched near death experience accounts since 1990. I ended up in contact with many published near death experiencers.

I offered to Mr. Dannion Brinkley to promote a possible campaign by him to become Vice President of the USA and Dannion essentially wrote to me "Have fun, me and Trump... LOL?!"

Later on Dannion wrote to me that I had to stop promoting him for the office of Vice President due to his health issues but now in 2025 things look different.

Dannion has an excellent friend who could assist him 24/ 7 / 365 in the form of Mr. David Icke, and Mr. Eric...

Who knows about your deep investigation? Did you do it all by yourself?

Huh?

Politicians desire ultimate control. They are sick, *******, egomaniacal pos. They will grab it whenever they can.

I voted for Cruz in the 2016 Republican primary and badly wanted him to beat Trump. In fact, I wanted a final debate between him and Cruz but that jag-off from Ohio, John Kasich, wouldn't withdraw so there was no public demand for a debate. Cruz would have mopped the floor with Trump in a one-on-one.

But Cruz lacks general appeal. Two-digit IQ types (literally half the population) think of him as a smarty-pants and won't vote for him for that reason.

I was a Kasich fan. I am pleased he lost.

Kasich was center slightly right. I liked him. He stood more for the laborer than the ceo. A rare find today.

Again, one of Trumps sons will run and if Trump is still lucid, he will back him.

The Trump Shadow: Could Donald Jr run in 2028 and keep Trump ‘in power’?

While JD Vance remains the front-runner for the Republicans in the next presidential race, recent polling results for the president’s eldest son have led some to start thinking the unthinkable. Alex Hannaford reports
