    ^"surrounded by Beto"
    Cruz is acting smug just like Hillary did. Not campaigning at key places because she thought she had the votes locked in.

    Also needing daddy Trump who called your wife ugly and your father a killer to try and bail you out.

    Trump Combats Sexist Ad With Retweet Calling Heidi Cruz Ugly --- MAR. 24, 2016

    GOP front-runner Donald Trump
    started a Twitter feud with Ted Cruz over a -shaming Facebook ad featuring his wife Melania. Though Cruz actually had nothing to do with the ad, Trump said he’d “spill the beans” about Heidi Cruz if the Texas senator wasn’t careful.

    Now it appears these mysterious “beans” may be that Trump doesn’t think Heidi is very attractive.

    On Wednesday night Trump turned to the retweet, his favorite passive-aggressive attack method, to point out the irrefutable truth that Melania is prettier than Heidi (when Heidi screws up her face into some weird pose never seen in real life).

    Ted Cruz’s supporters are surrounded by Beto yard signs — they’e freaking out and raging at his campaign



    Supporters of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) have been deluged by signs for challenger Beto O’Rourke and are furious at his campaign for mismanaging the situation, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

    According to the paper, Beto’s distinctive black-and-white yards signs have “seemingly dominated the landscape” in the state.

    Cruz’s signs are rarely spotted, and his supporters are reportedly “increasingly agitated,” partly because Cruz’s campaign refuses to prove his supporters with signs.

    Beto signs are popping up in traditionally conservative neighborhoods, which has freaked out Cruz supporters enough for the subject to come up at Republican meetings and events across the state.

    Honestly, why didn't Beto think of this? This is effective.

    Or not. It's Texas after all.

    I don't know. This assumes all Trump lovers are even aware this tweet was from 2 years ago. There are likely plenty of them who would be dumb enough to think it's current and vote accordingly. These aren't the top minds in the state, after all.

    This is ing hole TX, no Dem has won state-wide election in 24 years.

    Beto will do best in blue HOU, DAL, AUS, SA, while Cruz, like any Repug, will win in the ex-urbs and rurals.

    Texan Repugs would rather vote (white) Russian than vote Dem, Dem being the party of knitters, Mexicans, LGBT, atheists, abortionists, wimmen.

    And Trash is supposedly coming to ing TX to pimp for Cruz, he of the ugly wife.

    rednecks, bubbas, kickers, dirt scratchers, line dancers voting Dem? IBIWISI

    So Beto is spending lot's of money on yard signs and Cruz isn't because they don't think they are effective at turning out voters.

    Every ad makes me like Beto more’: Ted Cruz’s latest attack on Beto O’Rourke for swearing massively backfires

    A new video ad posted on Cruz’s Twitter account attacks O’Rourke for repeatedly dropping the f-word during various public appearances.

    “If Beto shows up in your town, maybe keep the kids at home,” the ad states.

    Ted Cruz
    @tedcruz
    US Senate candidate, TX

    A lighthearted reminder:

    A #LaborDay picnic is a great place to bring the kids.

    A Beto O’Rourke rally? Not so much... #TXSen

    12:38 PM - Sep 3, 2018

    Given Cruz’s full-throated support for President Donald Trump — who was infamously caught on camera bragging about committing sexual assault — the senator quickly found himself getting hammered by Twitter followers who slammed him for being an egregious hypocrite.

    Check out some of the top responses below.

    Which picnic are you at Ted?

    The one where a guy who brags about grabbing pussy without consent

    calls your wife ugly and

    then doesn’t apologize and

    you end up making phone calls to support him?

    That ing picnic?

    2:29 PM - Sep 3, 2018

    Every ad Ted Cruz and the Texas GOP put out makes me like Beto even more.

    Trump didn't win because he was Trump, he won because he wasn't Hillary. People won't be swayed to vote for a (relative) socialist for any reason; they will vote against specifically what Beto is promising to do as an elected politician. "Nothing" is better than that.

    Cruz allies take aim at O'Rourke over eminent domain, father-in-law

    The Club for Growth, a national conservative group that recently announced plans for a seven-figure investment in the U.S. Senate race, is launching its opening salvo at Democratic nominee Beto O'Rourke.

    Allies of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, are targeting his Democratic opponent, Beto O’Rourke, in a new TV ad over his support on the El Paso City Council for a plan to redevelop downtown El Paso that raised the threat of eminent domain.

    The plan never went that far but fueled a contentious chapter in El Paso politics starting over a decade ago. The
    new TV ad from the Club for Growth — a national conservative group that recently announced a seven-figure offensive in the race —

    portrays O’Rourke as a puppet of wealthy developers who pushed the project, including his father-in-law, Bill Sanders.

    The ad goes on to refer to eminent domain as a “government wrecking ball”

    and ends by tagging O’Rourke as “Beto the Bully.”

    The commercial is part of an at least $1 million investment in the race that the organization announced last month, seeing a tightening race between O’Rourke and Cruz, on whom it spent lavishly in 2012.

    Another super PAC, Texans Are, is also planning to spend into the seven figures on the race, and its first TV ads were hitting the air Tuesday too.

    https://www.texastribune.org/2018/09...minent-domain/

    the Club For Growth (of the oligarchy's power) is against "eminent domain"?

    eminent domain is screwing RGV people for Trash's stupid wall.

    eminent domain is screwing people all over the USA along BigCarbon pipelines.

    the Club For Growth is against real estate developers?

    Texans are more than stupid enough to fall for this

    Cruz had a comfortable 6 point lead on average. Now he's under 5 and within the margin of error. That's why he and his supporters (I know he has them, even here) are nervous as .

    Some will. Plenty of people will hear "socialist" coming from the Cruz campaign and be scared into voting for Cruz. But at some point people are going to notice their wages haven't gone up despite the promises and tax cuts from the Republicans who currently control the government and they're going to be persuaded to try something different. Generally the conservatives who have listened to Beto and attended his rallies don't find his platform to be a harbinger of the scary socialist scape that conservative propagandists have been warning about.
