...”Cruz was always going to win easily.”
as a transplant to The Lone Star State, I take nothing for granted...If my increasingly-feeble memory serves me correctly, the last time Mr Cruz was up against that nutcake Beto, he won but not by the margin everyone though he would....correct me if I am wrong...I stand strongly behind Mr. Cruz and hope he wins big...!!
With all precincts reporting, Cruz won by about 219,000 votes, or 2.6 percentage points, over O’Rourke.Nov 6, 2018
Conservatives were made at Cruz about how the race with Trump for the nomination went. That is the ONLY reason that particular race was close.
Democrats got all excited and thought that maybe Texas was going blue, when that had nothing to do with it.
It was a one of special thing particular to that year, and had nothing to do with silly Beto.
