With that influx of money, he has narrowed the gap to...10 points.

Did he announce it by posting a pic of him smoking a blunt, holding a 9mm and stacks of cash?

Just talking about this today. I live in a pretty affluent area of Houston and for every 30 Beto signs I see, I see 1 Cruzio sign. Is Ted super confident or is he gonna drop a nuke in Beto’s lap right before the general?

Good.....that is money being flushed down the toilet. What kind of retard democrat donates to that race rather than missouri, wv, indiana, or close house races?

Beto is not unseating cruz.

This is like some california republican raising 10 mill or new york republican.

I hate that dude. I've gotten several texts from people I don't know acting like they know me and want me to donate, while also degrading Cruz in the text.

Try to forgive their crappy-arse math. Remember, they are the smart ones, after all.

There's not one poll that has O'Rourke polling above 42% and not one that has Cruz below 47%.

People grossly underestimate how popular Ted Cruz is in Texas. The only reason President Trump didn't win Texas by an additional 10-15% in 2016 was because of his attacks on Ted Cruz.

My lib buddy from Thibodaux sent Beto money. He also bought two copies of John Oliver’s children’s book about a gay rabbit that was published to mock Pence’s daughter’s children’s book. Oh well, I hope it gives him some catharsis. He really seems to be struggling with Hillary’s loss.

I don't care how many upvotes this gets. It will still be an underrated post.

Ive followed those too but a 5 pt swing is not much to overcome flush with cash. I just wish Cruz was more visible is all

Trump's list of 25 potential SCOTUS judges will need two more names.

To add Ted to that list would be glorious. Need him in the Senate for now, but it's a great backup plan.

Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke


He’s not “Beto”...he’s Robert Francis. He’s fricking Irish.

Dudes white as loaf bread but he’s trying to get Latino to win votes by using Beto as a nickname. The media uses it like that’s his real name.

Since when did you get to put your nickname on a ballot? What about all of the cultural appropriation bullshite we always hear about?
