Trump in his zeal to defeat all comers almost ended a solid Red State vote in Ted Cruz.

Good thing "Beto" Luck Next Time was too radical for Texas.

Some of your words appear to be out of order.

I voted for Ted only because he was not BETO and not because I like Ted.

So the old "I'm drunk but I'm going to pick the prettiest ugly whore in the beer joint to go home with me" option?

Ted lost 200k votes from 2012

Meanwhile Beto picked up ~800k compared to 2012 Dem candidate.

Ted put together a bill for term limits I think it’s best he uses it in practice.
Texas needs someone with more charisma and more likeable. You can get the evangelical vote without all the damn religious noise just look at Abbott for example.

No, that isn't why because TRUMP had already re-branded Honest Ted.

Disagree. Beto is a white Obama. Smooth talker. Dems will follow guys like this over a cliff.

You’ll see him in 2020. Book it.

No, it gives Republicans two years to define Beto as a fraud.

Cruz may not have gone there, Trump will.

Disagree.


So you disagree...but then contradict your disagreement immediately after and actually do agree.

I think we are misinterpreting each other’s posts.

I interpreted “clown car” as not a legitimate/joke of a candidate. Which I disagree with: Dems will flock to this guy like stink on shite and follow him regardless.

Cruz is not a likable guy. He is smart. But he has a bit of Jonathan Gruber in him. Cruz's attempt to deceitfully manipulate Trump RNC delegates was what forced DJT to bring Manafort in. Cruz then shunned supporting Trump at the convention. He deserved everything he got from Trump. Texas remembered.

You conservatives follow corrupt pieces of shite like Trump and Cruz. You're the last people who should be talking.

I see Bushs not liking someone as an asset.

I know multiple people in the money circles of Dallas and Houston that like Ted.

He is one of the smartest people in the senate and is a steady conservative.

Trump is corrupt? Link?

We follow him because he he gets shite done.

I’m not crazy about Cruz. He’s smarmy as frick. I think he got elected again to help Trumps agenda.
