Beto's accomplishments? - "We don't know"

I tried. I found the link. I posted 36 different senators, and their approval rating. Sanders is the top at 63%. Ted Cruz is 36th at 48%. Apparently I need moderator approval to post approval ratings. Maybe one of the Senator’s names triggered the moderator approval filter.

Feel free to start here. If you can show otherwise by all means do so.

You said “in the nation”. That’s a Texas poll.

My post was a gentle ribbing toward a poster who historically has spent an inordinate amount of time over the years acting as the Grammar Sheriff of HannityLand.

Dude. That shows that he has 40% approval and 41% disapproval.

Do you even read the links you post?

There was no whining. There was gentle ribbing toward the self-appointed Grammar Sheriff of HannityLand!

:policeman::policeman:

And? Compared to the other republicans he’s among the most popular.

Let me throw you a bone. The 2nd highest popular Senator is Republican John Thune.

Ted Cruz is the 36th most popular Senator. There are LOTS of Republican Senators more popular than your boy Cruz.

What does that have to do with how REPUBLICANS are rated nationally?

Read the statement you quoted and are attempting to challenge.

Here, I’ll even help.

Cruz remains one of the most popular republicans in the nation and he will be returned to the senate and probably again be a leading candidate for POTUS in 2020 or 2024.

Thune may be well thought of in the senate but he couldn’t even get enough support nationally to justify a run at the nomination.

I guess the 12th most popular Republican Senator is “one of the most”

John Thune
Mike Rounds
John Hoeven
Susan Collins
Tim Scott
John Barrasso
Mike Enzi
John Kennedy
Richard Shelby
Tom Cotton
Bill Cassidy

They all have higher approval ratings than Mr. Cruz.

Well people think Trump is popular too… they can’t stop winning #MAGA

Approval rating in order

  1. Bernie Sanders: 63%
  2. John Thune: 62%
  3. Amy Klobuchar: 60%
  4. Mike Rounds: 58%
  5. Angus King: 57%
  6. John Hoeven: 57%
  7. Jack Reed: 57%
  8. Mazie Hirono: 56%
  9. Susan Collins: 56%
  10. Patrick Leahy: 56%
  11. Maggie Hassan: 54%
  12. Ron Wyden: 54%
  13. Brian Schatz: 53%
  14. Elizabeth Warren: 53%
  15. Jeanne Shaheen: 53%

Skipping a few

  1. Richard Blumenthal: 49%
  2. Richard Shelby: 48%
  3. Tom Cotton: 48%
  4. Chris Coons: 48%
  5. Bill Cassidy: 48%
  6. Cory Booker: 48%
  7. Ted Cruz: 48%

36/100 might be able to qualify for “most” since he’s in a 6 way tie!

There’s a Senator among those 5 that is triggering a moderator approval requirement. I bet I know which one. It’s not Cotton.

No, it doesn’t. Seems like it’s always the lesser of two evils now.

Why didn’t the Republican party of Texas choose someone who better represents their values?

He’s the incumbent. They have to build seniority to get anything done. That’s how the Senate is set up and how McCain crushed the Tea Party guys.

The guys above him have a lower disapproval rating.
Shelby: 30%
Cotton: 34%
Coons: 31%
Cassidy: 27%
Booker: 31%
Cruz: 35%

He’s already a political winner, being a US congressman. Cherry picking “state wide office” is just a sly way to try and minimize his popularity and success.
