Mr. P Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 A bottle-blonde with a boob job couldn't beat a cripple, and a wannabe Kennedy can't beat a Canadian sociopath. Welcome to Texas, you must be new here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CENTEXFAN Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I will believe it when I see it. Cruz wins double digits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Cruz is going to win. Â He'll give Beto a beat down in any debate. Â O'Rourke might be close in polls because they probably only call people in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio, but the rest of the State except the Rio Grande Valley are all Republican now.

I do think Cruz will pull out the win. My understanding is that Cruz suggested five debates -- all on Friday nights. And what's really big on Friday Nights in Texas? I think they're trying to work out a debate schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that Cruz suggested five debates -- all on Friday nights. And what's really big on Friday Nights in Texas? I think they're trying to work out a debate schedule. The media is certainly humping Beto's leg right now, but in all the gushing stories about his "charisma" and poll numbers, I am yet to see any statistical analysis based in any objective empirical understanding of the data. Yard signs don't vote, neither do tweets, and there are a helluvalot more welders than journalists in Texas. Just because they have an audience doesn't mean that people give a s### what they have to say. Let's take off our red and blue goggles, and just look at the numbers... Ted Cruz pulled in over a 1.3 million votes in the primary. Got it? That's one million, three hundred thousand. Robert "Beto" O'Rourke had around 600k. That's six hundred thousand. If you double that (that is, multiply 600,000 by two) Beto is still around a hundred thousand short. But don't stop there. Let's look at it through extremely blue-tinted glasses... Let's say that Beto is the first Democratic candidate is the history of Texas congressional politics to get every single Dem primary vote (that's 1,030,000) PLUS let's give him every single GOP primary vote that went against Cruz (200,000)... that means he would STILL need about 70,000 Cruz voters to swing his way, provided that Cruz doesn't get a single Independent voter. But by all means... let's all get giddy about poll numbers. Maybe it'll finally happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it'll finally happen. I have one Republican friend that says she's not going to vote for him, because somehow she thinks that he doesn't support Trump.  She was also mad that he rode on a plane with the Obama's before the election last year for the death of the Police Officers in Dallas.  I tried to show her the error of her ways, but she is the Queen of her wall, and if you disagree with her she'll unfriend you.  This is someone who I have known for 35 years.  So go figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sorry if I came off as brusque or attacking you, I wasn't trying to shoot the messenger. Just kinda reacting to what I see from my Dem friends and the mainstream media.  It reminds me of Wendy Davis. She was a media darling, and Dems just swore that this was the beginning of turning Texas blue... then she got destroyed at the ballot box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild74 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 I don't believe it is as close as the pundits are saying and Cruz is a savvy politician also when it comes to fund raising. I even sent him some money, now I get fund raising emails everyday.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White liberals in urban areas sure love their "charismatic" white liberal candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
