Beto going back to his NY sugar daddies for more money.

Nothing shows how badly he can be beaten by Cruz more than this if you ask me. This shows he can’t get enough support domestically to pull off the win. I hope these losers bleed Soros dry and he dies broke in a shelter

[The Annoyed Man]

So I’ve been in California since last Friday, and will be flying home this Sunday. A funny thing happened on the way to the beach yesterday. Right in the middle of Pasadena, somewhere along Del Mar Blvd, we drove past a house that had a BETO yard sign out front.

Don’t think for a moment that out of staters with no morals aren’t trying to flip Texas from the comfort of their own homes (assuming they own them). I’m thinking of making a Cruz sign and sneaking over there at night before we leave and putting it in his yard next to the BETO sign.

Hey wait, what? And you're not even a neighbor?
How do you know they're immoral? Wouldn't it be better (and safer) to have a talk with the resident(s) and explain the error of their ways?

No. It would not be better. They are California democrats. They deserve the state they’re getting ....because they helped to screw it all up. I’d rather let them stew in it. But that doesn’t change my opinion of their posting a Beto sign in their California lawn. What are they trying to do? Encourage Californians to vote - illegally - in the Texas senatorial election?

But if you want to vote for that lying cretin, be my guest.

i just had a conversation with an acquaintance of mine... and omg people are so content/lazy/whatever it may be... but i posted an article about how beto is going to new york to get money to try and slither his way into texas....

Me: "this guy is a deceptive snake in the grass! EVERYONE needs to get out and vote against this socialist come November!"

friend: "Yeah, but have you met the guy. He's pretty persuading. I don't have a dog in this fight, but if my choices are beto or cruz, I'm choosing the guy that can ride a skateboard. The guy that looks like he could sit down and shoot the breeze with you, maybe share a beer or two. The guy that used to be in a punk rock band. Why not Beto? Don't send me a link debating this question. I don't care. We're a superficial nation. I'm going with the guy that looks cool."

Me: " you wont be shooting much of anything when he wants to take your guns away... hes anti gun and has socialist views. just not something i approve of."

I don't see how people just dont care and wanna vote for someone who "Seems cool" like seriously? you're a GROWN MAN! you're 34 years old! stop acting like a stoner teenager and go do some research! Your vote not only affects you but affects everyone else in this state also! dont go vote for someone just because he "seems cool"! geez!

Hey wait, what? Aren't Californians Americans too? Shouldn't they be interested in other state's politicians whose vote can effect them? Could that Beto sign belong to a Texan who happens to have a place in California too?

Once again the tabloid fish wrap known as the Texas Tribune has weighed in on several polls that were for the most part D+5 . O'Rourke has NO chance. They are deliberately skewing the polls to make it seem that he has a chance in Texas against a well liked and well respected Senator. I wouldn't be surprised if Cruz won in a 60-40 blowout!

If one were to study the primary races Dem v Repub, Senator Cruz received 500K more votes than ALL the Dems combined. I don't care how much Beto raises, I'll send some money to Cruz but our family are a guaranteed Cruz vote in November! There simply aren't enough Dems to out vote the solid red State. There is no blue wave coming!

Remember Gov Abbott and Dan Patrick are on the November ballot and they are also very well liked. I'll also make a prediction, there will be peace on the Korean peninsula in the coming months.

Like any election it's about which side turns out. If we're motivated enough to turnout the numbers just don't allow for a Beto win, if we don't, and they are more motivated he can.

Cruz to date has been running a poor campaign almost as though he doesnt' really want it. He needs to find the kind of motivation he had that brought him the win originally but I think it's pretty evident he's still suffering from his loss to Trump and having to support the same man who brutally savaged he and his family during the primary.

Maybe this time it's up to us to motivate him.

Your acquaintance is a moron, those are among the poorest reasons for voting for someone I've ever heard.

Unfortunately he's not alone. Millions will vote just because their friends think voting for Candidate X is "cool" or just as an act of rebellion against their parents.

The dem's have pulled out all the stops and are pouring millions into this race from out of state. They are desperate to break the statewide red barrier to make the state competitive again.

Fortunately that draws money away from races they might much more easily win in other states and if they can't pull it off here, it's going to be a huge loss for their momentum nationwide going into 2020.

I hope they keep pouring it in non stop.

Sen. Cruz has an image problem. He simply doesn't come across as especially likable -- perhaps due to the fact that in most rooms he might actually be the smartest person, and he knows it. That said, he has principles and appears to make decisions primarily based on those principles. This is character that I look for in someone to represent me.

Beto, on the other hand, is all image and no principles. All hat and no cattle, so to speak -- but then again he is running as a Democratic Socialist and saying this about any of them is simply redundant.

Are they Americans too? Barely. You should spend more time out here .... like I do. Hell, maybe you’d like it better here than back in the free states.

Yes, I have spent a lot of time there (and still have friends and relatives there) but mostly further south in California. Yet, here in Texas is where my daughter and her family are so I will mostly stay here but thanks for the suggestion. It's too bad that you have not met some nice folks in California but they are there, lots of them.
