Cruz will win by 10 pts easily.

The Polls had Hillary winning the State as well.

No, Texas isn't going Blue, that is a DNC dream that is nowhere to coming true.

According to the Democrats all the States are turning Blue.

No one from El Paso has ever won a statewide election, and Beto's not going to be the first.

The elephant in the room nobody wants to talk about.

Tell them to drop it.

You stand up in a bar and make a comment that is guaranteed to start a brawl, then say, "Well, they started it!"

When? Where? Some other thread? Dude...

Don’t believe that “average” donation nonsense. It is so patronizing that they can publish statistics like that.

Where? I’ve been seeing it for two and a half years. I don’t know how you’ve missed it. It’s pervasive.

Is there anyone here besides the 2016 Cruz haters who think this guy will take Ted Cruz’s senate seat? Bueller? Bueller?

there is ZERO enthusiasm on the GOP side for Cruz, and his antics pushing Mike Lee for SCOTUS didn't help. He's got a real fight on his hands.

Have you noticed it is always the same bunch of clowns that tell us Beto has a chance? Some of them are closet democrats and some are fools....but I repeat myself.

I suspect Donald Trump (and many others) would personally relish seeing Cruz lose. However, post-Alabama, the President (and many others) knows losing this seat to a Dem isn't good on a number of levels. This will be reinforced during this Confirmation hearing which will be a cakewalk compared to that for RBG or any other liberal justice (even Sotomayor is reportedly not in perfect health).

Trump has pretty good instincts. My suspicion is he is letting all sorts of stupid Dem money flow in to Texas during the summer vs where it could probably help Dems more (i.e. VA). Once the campaign heats up, he will throw a few Tweets toward Cruz, say a few nice things and maybe even make a stop or two at Cruz rallies.

At that point Cruz' re-election is secured, millions of statist dollars are locked into a fruitless effort, we get a 54-46 R-D Senate followed by articles in Vox and Pollutico asking "how could Dems have been so stupid?"

Jon Ossoff raised $25 million for a House seat and lost.

You know what is telling? You have at least 3 comments already from folks who state they will vote Cruz, even though they do not like him........that is a pathetic unenthusiastic endorsement if I ever heard one. Cruz is not well liked......it is more of voting for him to keep the Dems out......weak support at best.

And your comments read like your trying to do your part to make him weaker.

Cruz is not likeable and better watch out; he made an ass of himself during the primary

Exactly, just like Abortion Barbie. And, you saw what Greg Abbott did to her.

And...? He could give that money out door to door and he still won’t come close to beating Cruz.
