The Texas senator’s questionable podcast deal with iHeartMedia is raising eyebrows amid his increasingly desperate fundraising efforts

THE WALLS ARE closing in around Ted Cruz, and the Republican senator is lashing out.

Cruz, who has served two terms as Texas junior senator, is facing a tough reelection challenge from former NFL player and current U.S. Rep. ​​Colin Allred (D-Texas), who won Texas’ Democratic Senate primary in a landslide victory last month.

On Wednesday, Cruz begged for donation on Fox News while complaining that Allred is out fundraising his 2018 challenger, former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, by leaps and bounds.

“The Democrats are coming after me, they are gonna spend more than $100 million this year, George Soros is already spending millions of dollars in the state of Texas,” Cruz told Sean Hannity. “My opponent a liberal Democrat named Colin Allred, is out raising Beto O’Rourke, my last opponent, 3 to 1. They are flooding millions of dollars into Texas — and the reason is simple. You remember my last reelection, it was a 3-point race. I won by 2.6 percent.”

            It’s actually kinda hard to get stuff into the sun, even still, he doesn’t have to go in to be well done.

              But that much garbage being burned up in space will certainly cause some catastrophic problems

                Well, shoot him in the opposite direction and it’ll be Alpha Centauri’s issue, they’re a few light years away, probably won’t have to come to terms with that for a few centuries minimum…

          And this is why you don’t have your own space program. It’s far cheaper to yeet him out of the solar system, go halfsies on gas and we’ll call it square
