Cruz has been a TX senator is very red state for a long time and yet is very unpopular. I think it says more about the people who voted for him.

Ringo. It isn't about you. It's about Beta choosing to run for President.


But since you go there, some of us are so married blindly to party dogma that we support them no matter what. And the fact that you can only defend it by insulting me for calling out the party I once supported, only speaks to this.

It's very true and you know it. But it doesn't really matter to me whether you believe it or not. Your hero Trump is sliding into obscurity and I couldn't be happier about that.

What name, specifically, did I call you in my post?

LOL. A party you NEVER, ever supported.

Come on. No one is buying what you are selling unless they just accidently stumble onto the forum.

Beto can run for President or not. No one is holding their breath for his decision.

To those that say this, you have NO idea how inflexible so much of the electorate is here! We have MANY rural RED counties and an unwavering hardcore religious base that will ONLY vote Red. In order for Beto to win, he would have to have added more first-time voters and carried even larger victories in the major cities. The battleground states are more flexible and make their voting choices in a different way than southern states. Southern states tend to base much of their decisions for candidate by race/religion, less on substance. Hasn’t it always been that way? That’s why Beto has a good chance.

Obviously a paid Trumpling.. Every political campaign audience has its share of extremists- ever seen a Trump rally?

Beto O'Rourke stopped in Wisconsin this weekend to underscore the Democratic Party's push in the Midwest

"I want to make sure that I'm listening to everyone -- not just those that I know in El Paso and in Texas, but everyone, including going to places that are forgotten or overlooked or have not been visited enough

Beto doesn't have a chance now that he has publicly called for the removal of border walls.

What an ignorant stupid idea. I had an open mind about him, but now realize he is another nut job.


Why do the democrats put the interests of illegals over citizens of US. And walls are not there to stop terrorists. It is to stop the flood of illegals into this country. Who we cannot afford to support or waste time processing and deporting them.
