I’ve never heard of this guy until now, and all of a sudden, the Texas Tribune is saying that it’s too close to call? I don’t know much about him, but I went and checked O’Rourke’s website for his stances on 2nd Amendment issues, and he seems to be solidly in the “ban civilian access to ‘weapons of war’” camp.

Anybody know much about him, and does anyone believe that he really can beat Cruz?

No chance. Even if he raises more funds, Cruz will beat him easily.

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.

well, supporting gun bans is probably not a good way to start a campaign in Texas:

he might as well hang up his hat.

I'm betting that Beto has as much chance of defeating Ted Cruz this year, as Wendy Davis did against Greg Abbott in 2014.

I think of the Texas Tribune as the RINO rag. They purport to be conservative republicans and they may be if the new definition of co servative republicans is someone that is a moderate republican that tends to lean left of center.

The Tribune donors and sponsors would love to see Cruz defeated.. They are promoting this hoping people will want to jump on the bandwagon.

Its propaganda, just like they always said Hilliary would win.

He won’t get my vote.

But the Republicans need to get a big turn out everywhere.

They don’t diserve it. But we need to turn out none the less.

This x 1000 (though I don't count Cruz in the group of undeserving Republicans).

With a couple of exceptions that prove the rule, the GOP establishment has been nothing but one failure after another. But sitting back and allowing Texas or the country to be taken over by Democrats is simply not an option.

Hmmmm....let’s ask President Hillary Clinton what she thinks of the poll?

Hopefully Sen. Cruz learned something from his beating by Trump and will not be too nice to win.

What ever happened to good old Wendy Davis? Wait. Don't tell me. I don't really want to know.

I may not be thrilled with a couple of the Repubs I can vote for, but they both sure beat the alternative. And I think Cruz has proven himself, and I think Abbott has pretty much done every bit as good a job as I thought he would.
