Drama in the Runoff for US Senate Seat

People love hearing about drama every now and then, and the political world is full of juicy stories that we just can't seem to ignore. On July 6th, the Texas Tribune published an article about a heated exchange between Former state Solicitor General Ted Cruz, and a surrogate for Lt. Governor David Dewhurst. The conflict was quite childish, but unfortunately, this kind of thing is becoming the norm for political behavior. The exchange occurred after the two addressed a largely pro-Cruz crowd at candidate forum. It started innocent enough when Cruz walked up to the Dewhurst surrogate, Mike Richards, and thanked him for coming. However, things quickly heated up when Richards let his emotions get the better of him and told Cruz he did not respect him, or how he acted during the event. The two went back and forth for a while, until, like most childish arguments end, one man accused the other of twisting his words around. Richards later apologized for his behavior, and doesn't believe he will be asked to act as a surrogate for Dewhurst again.
