Yeah, great optics for a Texas election....Cruz should buy those morons dinner for possibly helping him get re-elected.
Speaking as an independent centrist who's not from Texas, has no particular liking of Cruz, and detests Trump, I couldn't agree with you more. I have little doubt that the video of this confrontation is going to make its way into political advertising for Cruz and will cost O'Rourke more than a few votes. Yeah, that footage will play really well in Texas.

As one of my Democratic-leaning friends calls it, "the tyranny of the left". When you can't win an argument based upon facts, logic, or persuasion, just have a temper tantrum. Scream and shout and jump all about like a two-year old failing at toilet training.

Well done, antifa -- or should you be called the panty-fa, since as the Brits would say, you get your knickers twisted so easily.

Republicans need to abandon DC (District of Crap) and set up their offices and homes elsewhere....it would be like the Israeli government having to go to work in Tehran. They can meet virtually now, no need to actually be in the District of Crap to do our nation's business.

And import a foreign electorate who will fall for your unconvincing argument.

According to the group responsible, they are claiming they interrupted his meal.

“Instead, activists from Smash Racism DC, Resist This, DC IWW, members of DC Democratic Socialists of America, Anarchists, women, sexual assault survivors, and members of the LGBTQ community interrupted Ted Cruz’s peaceful meal”.

FBI, Homeland Security warn of more ‘antifa’ attacks

Quote:
Federal authorities have been warning state and local officials since early 2016 that leftist extremists known as “antifa” had become increasingly confrontational and dangerous, so much so that the Department of Homeland Security formally classified their activities as “domestic terrorist violence,” according to interviews and confidential law enforcement documents obtained by POLITICO.

If you're serious about winning you should be encouraging turnout for Beto instead of possibly hurting it by declaring victory.

Didn't you learn anything from 2016?
Ted Cruz has all the charm of a farting Vampire, but you are right in that sometimes you can't fix stupid! I guess we'll see!

Ends justify the means.

Gloves off, "they" are so evil, the use of any and all tactics is A-OK......or at least that is the vibe I get.

In reality, the "violent mob" was a group of a dozen or so who shouted, "We believe survivors" and "Cruz and Kavanaugh are friends."

No torches. No attacks. Not even any chasing.

Cruz and his wife left uninjured, and untouched as they wound their way through the protestors.

The title of this thread is a lie.

The liberal pawns and elites are showing everyone who they are.

Helping America is gone from their agenda.

Civility is no longer a tactic.

All they have are fear, threats, violence, and social justice.

We are heading into mid-terms. They have nothing positive to offer for America.
