On a balmy night in Austin, against the backdrop of the glittering high-rises of the city’s booming downtown, Beto O’Rourke is laying out his audacious plan to change the face of Texas, and America.
In front of him, packed into an open-air park, a largely young crowd of 40,000 is thrumming with scarcely contained glee. Even in the liberal bubble of Austin they have never experienced anything like this: a Democrat seriously in the running for a Senate seat, vying to topple Ted Cruz, the Tea Party fanatic whom even fellow Republicans call “Lucifer in the flesh”.
“We are not running against anything or any political party,” O’Rourke tells his supporters. He punches his arm in the air like a pumped-up revolutionary while simultaneously wooing them with a crooner’s charms.
The message is relentlessly positive. The 45-year-old has tweaked Barack Obama’s 2008 catchphrase “Hope and change” for darker times, so now it becomes: “Hope over fear”.
“We are running for each other and this country that I love so much,” he says, to a giant roar.

Dallas is definitely more liberal now...I have family in Dallas and FT Worth.
They are conservatives.
Problema, Cruz Cubano and Mexicans tend to think them imposters too.
And now ladies and gentlemen of all ages I present you for your amusement the latest redux of the “can Beto do it?” Show.
Can drunk driving accident scene fleeing, ban the AR-15, take down those American flags in the VFW and get me a helping sign of campaign finance violations pull it off?
Off course he can and it’s in the bag!! Texas is bluer than California. Texas women are dumber than dog poop and just all faint over this guy!! In the bag!!

“Hope over fear”
If vacuous slogans can win Cruz is in trouble.
Become Mexican? Nope, he's gonna stay Irish.
Learn to tie his shoes? Maybe, with enough practice.
Progressives dream their little progressive dreams...
Their band was terrible. Truly terrible. A cat on acid can play guitar better than Bobby Frank can.
I want one of those signs!
So, Bobby Frank is just recycling Obama’s campaign rhetoric.

“...I refuse to believe this will happen...”
Don’t underestimate the treachery and perfidy of Democrats, not to mention the adjustability of Democrtat voting machines. (Whoops! forgot the Democrat voters in the cemeteries who magically appear on election day.)
IMHO
Dallas is insane liberal.
Tx however is NOT
Problemo, people don’t vote purely on identity politics and Hispanics sure don’t.
