Here in Houston, Cruz is beating him over the head with his vote against Harvey relief. I know he did it as a protest against the Republicans, but it's terrible optics in an area where he could gain.

Cruz is contrasting it with all that he did for Harvey relief, which many likely Dem voters remember.

It's having a pretty significant effect.

That's not "terrible optics". It's a ishtty thing to do. Putting party allegiances before helping your home state... inexcusable.

I don’t follow local Texas politics so I didn’t know he voted this way on flood relief. It’s amazing that he didn’t have the intelligence to realize this was going to come back to bite him in the arse.

Beto voted it down because his riders weren’t affixed. But he won’t tell you that
