Although now an insider, Ted Cruz campaigns like an outsider in Texas Senate race

TCruz may finally be waking up to the tough challenge he will face on Nov. 6, with a monolith of big city voters aiming to defeat him. They thinks this O’Rourke reminds them of John F. Kennedy, but O’Rourke looks more like Bobby Kennedy.

If we lose Texas and Cruz, we’re screwed.

At least he’s campaigning like he’s 20 points behind.

You are exactly right. Texas is getting too purple for comfort.

Gov. Abbott really needs to tighten the screws on voter fraud.

Cruz won’t lose. He won by over 1.3 million votes in 2012.

Yes, he does. That’s an excellent point.

Beta O’Cuck, the fake Mexican (but authentic Communist) and the Little Latin Lesbian Leninist Lupe Lou will go down in flames in November.

That's ALWAYS a good plan.

I lived in Live Oak, when I was stationed at Ft. Sam Houston. San Antonio is an interesting city. You’d think with all the Military and retired Military there, it’d be reliably Republican.

“Cruz won’t lose. He won by over 1.3 million votes in 2012.”

In 2012 Cruz outspent a cash-strapped Rat by a whopping 70-to-1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_election_in_Texas,_2012#Fundraising

It must be similar to San Diego...once reliably Republican but not now from what I understand.

It’s foolish to ever underestimate the enemy. It’s undeniable that Texas is no longer as red as it once was.

Credit to Cruz for running as an unabashed conservative and not some stoopid centrist.
