Ted Cruz gets bad news in Texas Senate race

Wow, republicans losing Texas, that would be a hell of a win if Colin could pull it off.

Texas is far more politically complicated than most Americans realize. Gains in Texas are proportionate to politicians running on platforms that matter to Texans. Hopefully if Cruz gets voted put the Democrats learn a valuable lesson about how to win in Texas. My concern is they'll take all the wrong lessons and take the win to mean it's time to double down on the old losing strategies.
- As a leftist in Louisiana, it’s sometimes important to remind people that there were more Trump voters in California than Texas.
- I mean sort of. But also I've seen people that disagree with everything Republicans and Republican candidates say, say with a straight face "at least I didn't vote for a Democrat" so it's also not that complicated at the same time.
- I feel like Beto could've pulled it off if he'd ceded the gun issue. Of course it's a mess but the NRA has convinced people that school shootings need to be a part of life for freedoms or whatever.
- Biggest thing is that Texas has horribly low voter turnout. The state could easily go purple if left leaning people would actually show up and vote.
Biden was only behind Trump by 600,000 votes in 2020. Biden actually received more votes in TX than NY, but we still need better voter registration and turnout rates.

I will believe it when I see it. This asshole is always behind in polls but somehow manages to pull +5 to +10 advantage at the last moment. Do not believe in any of these “news”

I'm 25 so I have only been paying attention to elections for a handful of years now, but it seems like polls are something you can almost completely ignore in American politics, they don't necessarily seem based in reality.

Fuck you "Rafael"...

Bad news for Cruz is good news for Colin Allred, the country, and the world.
- As long as Allred isn't dumb enough to repeatedly say he will ban all guns multiple times while campaigning in the state with the highest level of gun ownership in the union he might just win.
Calling Ted Cruz "Rafael" is incredibly lazy. The man now licks The Donald's boots after calling his wife ugly and left Texas to hide in Mexico during a disaster. There is so much more material.
- AbanTEDment Cruz? I'm not very good at this game, but it's fun.
- Like how he liked incest porn on 9/11.
- exactly call him ted the inbred or some shit
Why the quotes... That is his name!

Fuck Raphael "Ted" "my wife is ugly and incapable of taking care of our children without me supervising" Cruz.

Are you talking about the Raphel "Ted" who abandoned his constituents during a state disaster to go on a tropical vacation?!
- The great senator from Cancun? There's another storm coming our way, I assume the bags are packed.
Rafael* Cruz.
He's not Italian. He is Latino*. A self-hating one. I'm embarrassed for him.
*You could make a case indicating that Italians have Latin roots, but you know what I mean.
- I spell shit wrong because I'm a drunk. Whoever reads this, listen to this person and not me.
- Latino? Isn't he Canadian?

Ted Cruz may not have as big a lead as he would have been hoping for in the race for his Texas Senate seat, according to a poll.
A Manhattan Institute survey of 600 likely voters in Texas found that Cruz has a 3 point lead (46 percent to 43 percent) over his Democratic rival, rep. Colin Allred. This margin is down from a double-digit lead the incumbent Republican has enjoyed in previous Texas senate surveys.

What beats red? Allred.
- Makes me want to buy some campaign signs...
  "Oust RINO Ted Cruz, vote All-Red for senate this November!"

Good. Go die in obscurity, you rat-faced traitoristic butthole nodule.

I heard he pees his pants because he likes the warm feeling on his legs.

Lizards are cold blooded though, would their pee be warm?

Obligatory: when he was at Princeton, there was a tradition where during the first snowfall of the year, the sophomores would make a lap around their dorm naked. Somehow, Ted Cruz took a wrong turn and instead of waiting for him, everyone locked him out of the dorm.
