- 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

- 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
  - Rick Perry, Secretary of Energy -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 12:25 1
    - 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
