Go Beto!!! Take out the least likeable person outside of the white house. We should be able to do this!
âŚSen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) might lose his bid for reelection this year, and that hatred of President Donald Trump could hurt Republicans across the country.
True, but only if we Democrats make that happen. Vote people! We can take back the Senate.
If this happens, I donât need any Christmas or Birthday presents for the next decade or so, just to see the slimey Cubanadian thrown out.
You may hate the president, and thereâs a lot of people who do, but they certainly like the way the country is going.
Um, yes, they hate him, but no, they donât like the way the country is going. Trump is the way the country is going at the moment, and itâs a horror show.
If Cruz loses, itâs mostly because absolutely everyone, even his political allies, thinks that Cruz is an asshole.
If TX Dem party can organize and mobilize Latinos to vote at the rate they do in CA, and vote Democratic - no reason why they shouldnât, especially now - TX should at least be purple, threatening to turn indigo. TX has had one of the lowest voter turnout rates in the country, consistently. Might be because people just give up, knowing itâs a foregone conclusion that the GOP will steamroll over them. But as we saw with Alabama last year, deep red isnât always deep red.
Why is the White House Budget Director handicapping Senate races like a two-bit bookie? Shouldnât he be talking about, you know, the budget?-and the huge deficits heâs rolling up with his catastrophic tax cuts for his corporate owners?
He is talking about the budget. The RNC budget. To a bunch of private donors. Priorities.
Has Cruz gone on record about those seeking asylum at the border? Has made any noise about the 400+ kids still in separated from their parents? Has he alluded to what has happened to some of the children while they were in HHS custody?
What are his thoughts on the plan to take out Venezuelan President Maduro for regime change?
Is he worried about those naturalized citizens now facing deportation?
Does he know how many rural hospitals are at risk in Texas?
How about that Border Wall Ted?
And where are the numbers on Trumpâs mounting legal bills?
The only things Cruz has going for himself is that he has an ÂŽ next to his name and that heâs on TV enough that people thing heâs already got some pull in Washington. On pretty much everything else, Betoâs got his number.
Of course, that first oneâs a doozy. But the second one is key - I guess itâs tied to âname recognitionâ but itâs more than that. If people see Beto as a player, if they start seeing him on TV, being taken seriously by the serious people, that translates as power. Itâs the reason why Fox News and itâs all-Republican all the time line ups is so insidious; itâs why the Republican dominance of Sunday morning political shows is so problematic. People who arenât really sure where people stand on the issues vote for the person they think is, or will be, getting things done for them.
I hope the Republicans do NOT give up on Cruz, but spend billions of dollars which could be better spent elsewhere.
Every dollar spent defending Ted Cruz in Texas is a dollar about which I will throw myself on the ground laughing. He was a front-runner for the frickinâ presidency two years ago. And he may not win his Senate race now? In Texas? Thatâs getting into Santorum levels of pathetic.
âThe president asks me all the time, âWhy did Roy Moore lose?ââ
The president is a fucking moron.
No problem there. No one in his right mind thinks that Trump will pay up.
Hope your insurance covers chiropractors;)
No medical attention needed when youâre laughing that much. Itâs a natural cure.
Texas voters have let me down so many times-- removing Cruz is almost too much to hope for.
âIt does cost, right now, more money to engage our voters"
It would have cost less if you had, you know, put the money in schools to teach them how to read and think. Of course, then they wouldnât be your voters.
âThey have their energy. We have our infrastructure of Russian hackers.â
I think you left that off, Ronna. Iâm sure it was just an oversight. Oh, wait, the GOP doesnât really believe in oversight, do you?
