This may not be a problem, in the future, for Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.

But, personally, I actually don't care about his future or Anything Ted Cruz.

He never stood a chance at the presidency because, quite frankly, people find him repulsive. (He carried only 11 states in the Republican presidential primaries and lost in areas with demographics he should have won.)

If electing the closest image of Satan are voters' mission for electing a president of the United States…okay, then, Ted Cruz would have been elected, here in 2016, to become the 45th president of the United States.
