Cruz disgraced himself in 2016 and the fact he is struggling against Soy Boy Beto proves he is a Beta , not an Alpha Male.

Yet he has been a sound ally of Trump ally In the Senate And seems contrite about the lies he told in 2016.

The presence of Trump will assure Cruz of at least a 10 point bounce

My view of cruz is evolving. In kinder moments I call him biddable. But bidding goes both ways, hehe.

My feelings about Cruz are my own. Not yours to decide for me.
I hope we keep that vote. And hope Trump can help Cruz keep that
vote. That is really all I have to say about it.

Doubtful that he is. But this will be a win win for trump and Cruz. There will last likely be other republican candidates there and will get a bump from the rally as well.

Trump wants the right people in the Senate and he know Cruz is on his side.

“Spelling is: O’Rourke”.
First name Robert, and they call him Bet-off.
Pronounced as you choose.

$100 goes a little farther in Texas than it would in California or New York. But if you want to make it $1,000 feel free.

Trump is boosting his own stock with this.

Good move!

The winners club is growing.

>> “Is Cruz in trouble? In Tejas?” <<

No.

Trump is relocasting the GOP ‘center’ around himself.

This is brilliant strategy for dealing with congress.

His father has been sending to Mexicans to prison for Decades.

A couple of points for clarification.

1. His dad was a county judge (Pat Francis O'Rourke, not Robert), a political position not a "judgeship".

2. His dad died 17 years ago when he was struck from behind by a car while riding his bicycle over the New Mexico state line.

He’s dead.

https://www.nytimes.com/1986/03/22/us/aliens-and-poverty-lay-a-heavy-burden-on-hospital-in-el-paso.html

Then, in January, El Paso County sent President Reagan a bill for $7.5 million in hospital costs for the care of undocumented aliens, for which the hospital had not been reimbursed.

Judge Pat O’Rourke, chief executive of El Paso County, said that since the Federal Government was supposed to regulate immigration, it should bear the cost of illegal immigration. The State Department, to which the White House referred El Paso’s bill, has said it cannot pay. #16,009 Patients in ‘85 In El Paso’s population of 480,000, about 112,000 have income below the poverty level. According to 1980 census figures, El Paso was the 17th-poorest city among the 170 American cities with populations of 100,000 or more people.

Unlikely to need much help, but this still counts. Thanks detective.
