The Establishment floats another squish as Cruz challenger

... CNN reports that establishment forces are trying to get House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R, -Texas (F, 58%) to run against Cruz. A quiet Republican campaign to oust Sen. Ted Cruz in next cycle's Texas primary is unfolding as the conservative firebrand has launched an aggressive effort to keep his seat ahead of another likely run for the White House.

Cruz's primetime convention speech, during which he urged Republican voters to "vote their conscience," is of course just cover for the primary challenge. The Establishment has declared war on conservatives, and Team Trump is providing them cover, which is just as was predicted.

The establishment got their first taste of serious blood last week, when they ousted Freedom Caucus member Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan. (A, 91%). They did so by lying about Huelskamp's record....

Of course it isn't just that Cruz has a solid voting record that has the Establishment upset, it is that he leads on his principles. The convention speech is only cover for what the Establishment is really trying to accomplish, removing conservatives from the House and the Senate. You only need to look at the record of Cruz and McCaul to see what the Establishment is up to.

Adjusted for fair usage.

These leftists better be careful what they wish for, because if, by some fluke or fraud, they were able to pull this off, removing Cruz from office, he could easily steal the base away from the party for another party yet to be named.
I can't believe how stupid the GOP is, this is them, literally writing their own epitaph.

Something I hadn't thought about in this scenario.

Honestly, I'm not certain they have either.
