Cruz criticizing Beto for F bombs only makes him cooler.

Huff Post.

This race sure has the East coast’s attention.

Just ordered a Cruz sign for the front yard. Total with shipping came to $17.76.
For some reason, I don't think that was an accident.

I may buy a Beto sign, so I can spray paint a circle/slash over it.
Or maybe top it with a banner that says "Socialist".

Cruz has a video that is heavily spliced falsely depicts Beto saying grateful for flag burning. Haven't seen it but so say Dallas News.

Facebook has had Beto happy about flag burning for some time.

You can be sure that the people with the Beto signs didn't pay a cent for them. Apparently, Cruz hasn't raised or spent much money. Is he taking this race seriously? Beto is a no named leftist who should get his buttocks stomped. Cruz is a successful conservative known to be pretty honest. It shouldn't even be close. But it looks like Cruz is taking the voter for granted. I'm scared. When the leftist take over, Where next? Idaho? North Dakota. I'm getting too old to start over in such a cold place.

Beto's web site charges $10 plus shipping, Cruz is charging $9.95+shipping.
https://store.betofortexas.com/yard-signs/

There was an article somewhere about why Cruz didn't make as many signs available.
Here: https://www.texastribune.org/2018/08/29 ... ard-signs/?
The sign disparity is not necessarily indicative of an enthusiasm gap, but of differences in campaign spending priorities. But more broadly, Cruz campaign manager Jeff Roe has an aversion to yard signs — he said he views them as a far-less-effective use of campaign money than door knocking, television and radio advertising, phone banking or direct mail. That's not a new strategy in Cruz world. Roe said the Cruz 2016 presidential campaign spent no money on yard signs.

Anyone know where I can get this one at a reasonable price? $25 plus shipping (Cafepress) is crazy. Maybe $15 shipped??
I want to put it on top of my Beto sign.

That's what I told y liberal friend at work after she said she sees way more beto signs that Cruz and think he has a chance.
