- Such nuance would surely matter if he was a Republican, I'm sure. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 4, 12:12 13
  - And to your other question, if I'm him, I stay away from the cabinet if I have any future presidential ambitions. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 12:16 11
    - Start gaming out 2028? Isn't the moral of 21st Century Presidential Politikin' that people burn bright and then rapidly fade away? - Name Withheld By Request Dec 4, 12:18 10
      - That's why I'm sure he'd like to go for 2020 - Reagen Dec 4, 12:21 9
        
        I suppose the 2020 cycle might be better for him, but Cornyn would be tougher to off than Cruz was. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 4, 12:26 4
        
        Or a rematch in 2024. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 12:29 3
        
        Climate change in the political cycle, though there's a chance Cruz isn't the candidate so maybe. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 4, 12:31 2

        I know it it totally the same story, but..... -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 4, 12:42
        
        That only makes sense if he can win. If he can't win another Senate or Governor race in Texas (which is more likely than not at this point, though - pmb Dec 4, 12:24 3
        
        I agree a second loss is a bit of a killer. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 12:25

        Yes, it can be done, but the party that would appoint him would care about whether he can do the job. -- nm - pmb Dec 4, 12:36
  - We'll test that nuance if any Republicans ever stop getting their campaign funds from dark money PACs. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 12:13
