Last night, we were invited to join the Facebook group "Draft David Barton for U.S. Senate." Putting it mildly, that piqued our interest. Cahnman's Musings has spent a substantial amount of time tracking this rumor today.
According to multiple sources, last week a meeting occurred between Tea Party leaders and a representative for Barton. Sources report both sides left the meeting encouraged. Right now, speculation Barton might run is "legitimate."
This is a major development. David Barton would be an incredible U.S. Senator. In 2012, David Barton was an early supporter of Ted Cruz. Barton is a former Vice Chair of the Texas Republican Party. Currently, Barton runs "WallBuilders," a ministry dedicated to rescuing the truth about America's Judeo-Christian heritage.
As a United States Senator, Barton would be an ally of Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul. Were Barton to run, his campaign would be a grassroots campaign similar to Ted Cruz's. Like Cruz, Barton wouldn't owe the establishment anything.
Cahnman's Musings encourages Barton to hop into this race. Grassroots conservatives across Texas are chomping for a Cornyn challenge. If Barton gets in, he's instantly credible.
