Is this a real question?

I expect Cruz to win but the dude has zero personality which sways voters.

Beto is truly a great candidate. I got shite for saying it would be close but Cruz isn’t exactly Mr Charisma.

I lean left and voted for Beto and Abbott. Cruz is so unlikable and Abbott has done a good job. My wife saw a tweet tonight that said evidence shows the Beto/Abbott voter is real.

Millions and millions of dollars of out-of-state dollars, plus the fact that Abbott is a really likable guy.

I like Cruz as a Senator, but he ain't cuddly.

So you and your wife voted on irrelevant personality traits instead of policy? Good job at showing some intelligence.

You need to remember something, Trump exposed Cruz as somewhat weak but the bigger factor is the influx of Prog/Dims and Hispanics into TX over the past several years.
They’ve not into MAGA and probably despise winning.

If Cruz loses, expect him to be named AG to replace Sessions.

Have you seen the money Beta spent? I live here, voted, and in all seriousness can’t name Abbots opponent. I am even fairly politically active.

His rallies in Dallas were ridiculous. He galvanized the big cities like crazy.

So you vote based on how likeable someone is?

That sounds crazy. How can go for 2 diff extremes and be ok with that? Beto is charismatic so you voted for him. Abbot is conservative so you voted for him?

No, I said I lean left so I like Beto more. I pointed out that I also voted for Abbott even though that is against my normal leanings. I was trying to show how Abbott could greatly out perform Cruz. Also, of course personality matters. People aren’t robots, and it’s crazy to think they don’t vote with emotions.
