Cruz says he's next in line to secure the 2024 GOP presidential nomination

Ted Cruz is the worst 2024 GOP Presidential primary candidate.

He will be worse than Rick Santorum.

Ted Cruz is so bad because he has no idea when to stand up, how long to stand up, and when he needs a vacation. He needs to conjure a miracle to win the 2024 GOP Presidential nomination. If somehow the one-in-a-million event happens, he will need an even bigger miracle to win the presidency.

The MAGA base may be overflowing with QANON followers, but even they do not think Cruz is their best bet. Instead, the base thinks Mike Pence has a better chance to succeed than Ted Cruz.

But Ted Cruz believes he is next in line to win the GOP nomination because he was the runner-up in 2016.

"In an interview with the Truth Gazette, a conservative outlet run by 15-year-old Brilyn Hollyhand, Cruz said he would "absolutely" consider a run for the White House in 2024. In fact, Cruz said he thinks it is very likely that Republican voters will give him the nomination."

Noting that he ended up "placing second" during the 2016 GOP primaries, Cruz said there is a historical precedent for runner-up candidates like him to get the nod the next time they jump into the presidential race.
