CLEVELAND — Two controversial figures on the right met late Wednesday night over drinks to plot a primary challenge to Ted Cruz after the Texas senator refused to endorse Donald Trump at the Republican convention here.
Renegade GOP operative Roger Stone said he and Infowars founder Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist, are planting the seeds to ensure Cruz is sent packing from Washington when his first term ends in 2018.
“We’re actively looking for a candidate,” Stone told The Hill.

Patrick has fallen in line behind Trump as the presidential nominee since his initial endorsement of Cruz, and spokesman Allen Blakemore told The Hill that he is “flattered” but “not interested” in running for Senate.
“He loves being Lt. Governor, living in Texas, and having 4 grandkids 20 minutes from his home,” Blakemore said in an email.
“He is not interested in running for the U.S. Senate. He is committed to doing all he can to help Donald Trump become President.”
Stone called Cruz a “dumb son of a bitch” and a “butt boy for the Bushes disguising himself as a conservative.”

There are less than a handful of decent men in congress and they would crucify their leader who has done nothing wrong but speak boldly about liberty and freedom, and the chief priests cried out more exceedingly give us Barabbas, we will not have this man lead us and they smote and mock him shouting away with him Crucify him.
When it comes to righteousness nothing has changed in two thousand years just the mere hint of it must be destroyed.
Trump suggests he might set up SuperPAC to oppose @tedcruz
