If our great POTUS, Donald J. Trump comes to rally in Texas like I know he will, Ted Cruz and the entire Texas Republican slate will be smiling with victory come the evening of November 6, 2018.

I know that Cruz and Trump went at it in 2016, but, that was then and, this is now!!! Ted Cruz will be re-elected with ease.

Little fag boi fake Mexican O’Rourke is doing well in some polls cause he’s running an aggressive campaign and the media (and social media) is pimping him as the great White hope for the democrats in a “red state” just like it did with that pig Jason “Look at me I can assemble a rifle” Kander.

That MO race is a good comparison. The result may be close (though not as close as the MO race) but I can’t see Mr. Hackey Sack winning.

The problem in Texas right now isn’t hypothetical conservative idiots who want to “punish” Cruz (and the entire country when O’Fag votes to impeach Trump) for being slow in endorsing Trump 2 years ago or some such other irrelevant nonsense but rather middle to upper class White suburban voters who trended towards Shillery possibly taking their new sickening democrat voting habit into other races.

And while I like Ted Cruz, a lot of people don’t and the media/social media has made him a “polarizing figure” so his ceiling isn’t high, but it’s still over 50%.

Kandor will be elected Mayor of KC soon but he will never win statewide office in Missouri let alone be President (they are already pimping this douchebag O’Rouke for President too). O’Rourke will have a similar fate, lots of twitter followers and media people creaming their pants praising him but no statewide office.

Before you mention it, of course I remember Kandor DID win statewide office in MO, before. ;d

KC and St. Louis Mayorships are a dead end as a stepping stone for higher office in MO, so Kander isn’t going to be increasing his chances to try to climb back up. The last Mayor of KC to go anywhere was James Reed, who was elected in 1900 for 4 years. He made it to the Senate in 1910 and served to 1929. My cousin, GOP St. Louis Mayor Henry Kiel, tried for the other seat in 1932, got the nomination and lost the general. I believe he was the last St. Louis Mayor to even win a party nomination for Governor or Senator. Vince Schoemehl tried for the Dem Guv nomination in 1992, but lost to Mel Carnahan.

He’ll be in his 8th year in the Senate. What do you think he’ll be doing ?

Beto acts so gay in his tv commercial.

Every waking day in Texas that the wall remains unbuilt, there are more Democrats and fewer Republicans than the day before.

There...that's more like it...

Um, no. He’ll be supporting President Trump’s reelection efforts just as President Trump is supporting Cruz’s this year.

Word to the wise... if you persist on with your anti-Cruz postings and tirades, your stay here will not be long. That garbage only serves the Communist Beta O’Cuck campaign.

Trump and Cruz are allies, so get over it.

I was displeased with him for daring to run for President though, knowing full well that is an ineligible candidate.

Here's the real kicker - since he quickly went to get his US citizenship during the campaign in order to 'make' himself appear eligible...it means he wasn't eligible for the Senatorial seat he'd run for (and won), either.

I was certainly not a Cruz fan two years ago, but I just can’t believe Texans are chomping at the bit to have the government take their guns, or remove the American flag, and the rest of O’Rourke’s creepy beliefs.

Where you may be wrong is that Texans are too uninformed to know of Beto’s record, and reports keep talking about “Beto-mania” sweeping even GOP strongholds.

The Senate race is at the top of the ballot. He will be listed as “Beto”. Liberals will see his name and vote straight Democrat. Conservative Texans are so meek they will be afraid to come to the polls; that’s what the Democrats keep saying.
