Heh, time to count Cruz signs again. I am going to have to make a grid and just start doing this in a coordinated fashion.

That guitar is named “Trigger” and is almost as much of a legend as Willie himself.

Wow, this is an endorsement that will carry some weight in Texas. While Raphiel “Zodiac Killer” can continue to rant about made up shit like O’Rourke wanting to ban bbq or faking his name, Nelson is the real deal.

After a lot of explaining, the bottom line:

At the moment, Cruz leads in our adjusted polling average by 3.8 percentage points; adding in the fundamentals pushes the forecasted margin to 3.3 points, a close race.

I’d love to see Beto with Neil Young at a concert, singing together “Looking for a Leader”, the best blues song Young has ever composed by far. That’d be another barn burner celebration like this one with Willie and Beto.

I am phone banking for Beto this week.

If I call you, say howdy.

“Vote’em out” is the perfect war-cry for 2018. Thanks Nelson.

Willie has been a hero of mine for more than 40 years - glad to see my adulation was not misplaced. One of the best songwriters of the last 3 generations.

C’mon, Texas! You have to be dead inside to vote for Ted Cruz. If authenticity is supposed to actually have an impact, the polls should show Beto leading by 50%.

Beto should start talking about the republicans new tent cities prisons for children on the Texas border. How popular can these gulags be with your average Texan?

Cruz called off the debate that was to take place today because of the vote on K that was to take place this weekend, thursday night. He tried to reset it on Friday after it was determined that the FBI would investigate. Beto said no he had all ready moved on and changed his schedule. Cruz now wants to blame Beto.

Has Cruz forgotten he won six years ago by only 600,000 votes in a state which has tens of millions of voters? Some are clinging him like Obama once explained people clings to guns and religion, out of desperation, doesn’t mean he’s going to get their votes esp. after having watching him change positions too many times to count.

I hate him because of the way as a newly elected senator he talked down to my Senator Feinstein on gun control. Mansplaining at its worst, arrogance as well, lack of respect for a senior senator. He did it all.
