In the high-profile Senate race between incumbent Ted Cruz and challenger Beto O'Rourke, there are numerous ways in which their unique relationships with the Hispanic community have already intersected.

If Texas goes the way of California you can stick a fork in this country.

God I hope not, I plan on moving there to buy land and build a home.

The GOP never had a strategy to systematically educate hispanics.

I just came from dinner with a Cuban, Honduran, Panamanian, and a Mexican. All women and all agreed that hispanics are bringing in their culture of socialism and the inability to think logically rather than making emotional arguments. The Cuban framed the proposition, and the others readily agreed.

WE NEED A SOLUTION. NOW.

I have seen Beto's commercial numerous times. He looks like a home town boy. He wears ball cap. He drives a truck. He stands on a chair. He looks like my youngest son. He looks like a kid who played defensive back under Friday night lights.

With that said Beto says NOTHING. I watch his commercial intently to hear some sort of message, but nope, he reveals nothing about his socialist leanings.

I am sticking with Ted Cruz.

Beto is Obama's kind of cross-dressing guy-gal.

Veto Beto.

Looks like the depictions of Jesus!

And I don’t mean Hey-soos.

Beto off Ted...

Emotional illogic is built into the Spanish language.

We.Are.Screwed.

Exactly. Well said.

Robert Francis O’Rourke fled the scene of a highway crash that he caused through drunk driving at nearly 100mph. His judge daddy fixed it.

Texas’ economic success is its problem and it’s problem isn’t just some Hispanic voters.

Texas’ booming economy has drawn migrants from the
Leftist costs into burgeoning bastions of socialist-Democrats like Austin.

The Irishman is telling the Mexicans not to vote for the Cuban.

According to Joe Pags, his claim to Hispanic heritage is a T-shirt with Beto on its front, worn in a first grade photo. Beto is a nickname for Roberto. Photoshopped?

Better than Pocahontas’ claim!

I was going to post the same thing about his commercial. All it tells me about him is that he likes to drive around the state and talk to people - all kinds of people. It says nothing about what he would do if he’s elected. But I know what he would do and that’s why my vote goes to Cruz.

The Fake Mexican, Robert Francis O’Roarke (aka “Beto” O’Roarke), gives us the first candidate in Texas history to run under an assumed name in order to cater to the Hispanic vote, much of it illegal.
Intelligent Hispanics might wonder why the Democrat Party in Texas would not run a genuine Hispanic candidate instead of this phony who also runs as a Fake Kennedy, having copied all the gestures of JFK from old video tapes. The only thing he lacks is a message and a sense of decency as he preys on the voters of Texas.
