Nice, but is this why everybody here is saying they are seing Beto signs everywhere and aren't seeing many Cruz signs?

Peto o’dourke (☭) is the little commie that the proglibs are buzzing about here in Tejas.

Why, there are 3 or 4 of his yard signs on every street (in a few neighborhoods) in Dallas.

I wonder who the OTHER 56 households on those streets are going to vote for?

The Cruz signs I have seen here in Dallas almost seem to be an afterthought, it probably is not representative of the conservative vote in any way.

Is there anyone in Texas who doesn’t know Cruz and the election is coming is a simple question....just overblown as usual.

Cruz later fielded a question about signs from the local member of the State Republican Executive Committee, Mike McCloskey.

“The one question I get asked universally, everywhere is, ‘We’re seeing signs that say ‘Robert Francis’ in our neighbors’ yards, and we want to claim our territory and have your signs in our yards,’” McCloskey told Cruz, using O’Rourke’s birth name. “I think people here are wanting those. What can we do to get those in the hands of the folks that want to have them in their yard?”

“That’s a question we hear a lot,” Cruz said. “Yes, there are a lot of signs for my opponent, Beto O’Rourke. They invested a ton of money and they put that money, part of it, into having signs everywhere.”

The sign disparity is not necessarily indicative of an enthusiasm gap, but of differences in campaign spending priorities. But more broadly, Cruz campaign manager Jeff Roe has an aversion to yard signs — he said he views them as a far-less-effective use of campaign money than door knocking, television and radio advertising, phone banking or direct mail. That’s not a new strategy in Cruz world. Roe said the Cruz 2016 presidential campaign spent no money on yard signs.

“It would be an easier campaign to win if we just used yard signs, and whoever wins is who puts up the most yard signs,” Roe told The Texas Tribune.

From: Beto O’Rourke yard signs are everywhere. Where are Ted Cruz’s?
