    I do volunteer work for Beto's campaign (surprise!). I get called a "libtard" on a regular basis and get a lot of responses that are just "#MAGA!" and the like, but I also hear a lot of "who is Beto?"

Cruz doesn't believe things as much as he says things.

That one's ripe to fall.  One of these days Trump is going to get annoyed by someone implying that Reagan was a better president than him, and he's going to say "Actually Reagan wasn't so great.  Most people don't realize that he wasn't so good on immigration and a lot of things."  And overnight, Reagan's popularity in the party will plummet.

Ted Cruz thinks Louie Mueller bbq tastes like shit and hates brisket in general. Loves Bill Miller bbq though (except the brisket, can’t stand brisket).

Awesome!!!

Thanks! Can’t wait for the husband to grumble at me about buying a T-shirt from a guy running for senator from Texas lol.

Well, this Texan sent more than 25$ to your state for a guy running for Senate against a child molester and horse abuser, so it all evens out.

A bit of the article:

In 2004, companies that owned Austin stores selling sex toys and a retail distributor of such products challenged a Texas law outlawing the sale and promotion of supposedly obscene devices. Under the law, a person who violated the statute could go to jail for up to two years. At the time, only three states—Mississippi, Alabama, and Virginia—had similar laws. (The previous year, a Texas mother who was a sales rep for Passion Parties was arrested by two undercover cops for selling vibrators and other sex-related goods at a gathering akin to a Tupperware party for sex toys. No doubt, this had worried businesses peddling such wares.) The plaintiffs in the sex device case contended the state law violated the right to privacy under the 14th Amendment. They argued that many people in Texas used sexual devices as an aspect of their sexual experiences. They claimed that in some instances one partner in a couple might be physically unable to engage in intercourse or have a contagious disease (such as HIV), and that in these cases such devices could allow a couple to engage in safe sex.

Ted Cruz is NOT a real Texan. Beto is a REAL Texan.

Ted Cruz had specially made toilet paper with the constitution written on it for the master bathroom. He is the only one ever allowed in that bathroom. Heidi has to use the hall bathroom. Just regular toilet paper in that one. 

He looks like he’s taking a crap in almost every picture.

Oh look, another barely-literate conservative.  Thank goodness Betsy DeVos is here to fix that.

I've met him.  I engaged him directly.  He was a humorless dickbag.

Bill Miller’s like Clint Howard. For what he is, he does a great job and has a drive thru with good breakfast tacos. George Clooney cant play every role.
If Bill Millers is Clint Howard, what’s Dickey’s?

Frank Stallone!

Never forget.

Part of me hopes Donald can't resist the temptation to shit on Ted at the rally.  There's a chance Donald knows his presidency is about to come to an end, that the jig is up, and wouldn't it be great to avenge Ted's RNC stunt with a stunt of his own?

But that's only if he actually sees the writing on the wall.  If he thinks Russia will save him in the midterms, and if he thinks he will need Ted in the Senate, he will probably too scared to try.  But it would truly be amazing to see.

I think what happens is that Trump shows up and holds a Trump rally.    The ultimate insult to Ted would be to completely ignore him.

Hell, the rally may raise more money for Trump 2020 than Rafael 2018.

I'm no political scientist, but methinks that margin of error means Beto could be ahead.

You're correct.

And I have no clue what Crosswind PR is.

well, you know, given that they put the margin of error at +/- 4%, i think you are exactly correct.

I've seen 2 Cruz signs in Houston. 
 
 
Both signs were at the same house. 
Saw my first Cruz sign in the heights the other day.

Cruz has Trump flying in for him.

Beto is ahead.

Was in Gainesville today (the most patriotic city in America, per some travel magazine) and saw 3 Beto signs - 0 Cruz.

One of the yards with a Beto sign also had signs for the "conservative Republican" state rep Drew Springer.  Interesting.

Cruz signs are popping up all over my neighborhood this week, not that it means much.

My hometown, holla!

 

(Seriously, that town and county never votes Dem--usually 80/20, but the times this summer I've visited my parents, I was shocked at the number of Beto signs.  That's when I knew "oh shit, Beto has a shot at this.")

https://crosswindpr.com/texas-poll-shows-beto-orourke-gaining-ground-as-ted-cruz-hangs-on-to-a-slim-3-lead/

Austin, TX – In a sign of just how crucial the millennial vote might be in the upcoming mid-term elections, a statewide poll released Tuesday shows Ted Cruz leading 47 percent to Beto O’Rourke’s 44 percent among likely Texas voters. Forty-nine percent of Texans between the age of 18-39 identify as supporting O’Rourke, while Cruz’s strongest support comes from voters ages 40 and above.

The Crosswind Texas Pulse Poll also hinted at some dissatisfaction toward Cruz from his own party: While the poll indicates an almost-equal party vote – with 81 percent Republicans favoring Cruz and 83 percent Democrats for his opponent – a surprising 15 percent of Republicans indicated their intent to vote for the Democrat. Forty-six percent of respondents who did not identify with either major party signaled their intent to vote for O’Rourke, versus 39 percent of non-affiliated or independent voters intending to pull the lever for Cruz.

Fifty-five percent of Hispanic voters and 57 percent of Black voters also expressed an intent to vote for O’Rourke, while 52 percent of white voters indicated their support for Cruz. However, 56 percent of voters who do not identify as white, Hispanic or Black also responded positively for Cruz. Only slightly more women overall support O’Rourke than Sen. Cruz, at 47 versus 42 percent.

“Texans are in for a nail-biter that has national implications,” said Crosswind CEO Thomas Graham. “O’Rourke is showing surprisingly strong support in traditionally red-state Texas, and Cruz has the edge in organization at this point, but clearly O’Rourke is gaining some ground.”

Meanwhile, Texans clearly favor incumbent Greg Abbott, who is holding steadily in his race against Lupe Valdez, although her 39 percent – to Abbott’s 52 percent – is likely to catch state GOP leaders by surprise. The poll results largely mirrored that of the senate race demographically and along party affiliations, although 45 percent of Texas women are showing more support for the current governor than for challenger Valdez’s 43 percent female support.

Among voters who do not identify as either Democrat or Republican, 47 percent seem more inclined to identify with Abbott on election day, versus 36 percent for Valdez.

Perhaps most surprising is that in both races, a percentage of likely voters identifying as “conservative” seem ready to jump ship to non-conservative candidates: 14 percent for O’Rourke, and 16 percent for Valdez. Those identifying as “liberal” seem less inclined to go against those stated values, with just 3 percent for Cruz and 6 percent for Abbott.

The Crosswind Texas Pulse Poll, a periodic survey of Texans’ opinions on a variety of cultural, economic and political issues, was conducted by Crosswind Media & Public Relations from September 6-9, 2018. The survey included 800 likely voters in Texas. The margin of error is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.

Of the 800 likely voters surveyed, 39 percent identified Republican and 27 percent identified Democrat, with 34 percent unidentified.

Asked about the most important issues facing Texas, the state’s likely voters mirrored responses from the 2016 Texas Pulse Poll, with 33 percent naming immigration and border security as the top issue. This is 4 percent higher than that issue’s ranking in the 2016 poll.

However, this year’s poll noted one striking change from two years ago: Whereas in 2016, 24 percent of likely voters placed economy and jobs as their second most important issue, this year health care and education reared as a priority. Seventeen percent named health care as their pressing issue, with 16 percent naming education, and the economy and jobs garnering almost half of last year’s ranking at just 13 percent.

“The prominence of more social issues of health care and education could help explain the closing gap between our high-profile candidates, since Democratic and liberal voters tend to identify more closely with social issues than economic ones,” explained Graham.

Crosswind also polled likely Texas voters on their overall opinions of the senate and gubernatorial candidates, with Cruz and O’Rourke coming out almost even on “very favorable” at 34 to 33 percent, respectively. However, 33 percent of likely voters hold a “very unfavorable” view of Cruz, with only 26 percent indicating that level of displeasure for O’Rourke.

In the governor’s race, Abbott’s “very favorable” rating jumped significantly compared to two years ago, at 38 percent versus 26 percent in 2016. However, his “very unfavorable” rating also climbed from 16 percent, to 24 percent. Indicating that she has more work to do, 16 percent of likely voters gave Valdez a “very favorable” rating, falling well below the 26 percent who view her as “very unfavorable.”

That would be beyond awesome. I can’t see trump doing it but hey, who knows what that asshole is gonna do until he does it. 

It is notable in that poll that 15% of Republicans plan to vote for Beto. That does not count the ones who no longer identify as Republican who could be 10% according to national polling.

Since they polled 39% Republicans and 27% Democrats it is probably not very accurate.
