Texas Sen. Ted Cruz says last week’s election could be called “the revenge of flyover country.”
In his speech at the conservative Federalist Society Friday, the Republican senator said the “utter astonishment” of Democrats is a result of not listening to the American people. He said voices were crying, “leave us alone.”
Cruz lost the GOP primary to President-elect Donald Trump, and didn’t endorse him until late in the race. Without mentioning Trump by name, Cruz said Republicans should move forward by being honest and trustworthy and remembering they serve a cause greater than themselves.
When asked if he might be a candidate for the Supreme Court’s open seat, Cruz said “history is long and can take unexpected paths,” but he looks forward to continuing his time in the Senate.

Unfortunately, very few Jews live in “flyover country” – though there are increasing Jewish communities in states such as Texas. Like it or not, the frum community seems trapped in the parts of the country ruled by Democrats who tend to be ultra-secular and anti-Torah (especially the Jewish ones).
