I know it is a long shot but Go Beto Go

[texasfiddler]

We were handing out fliers at our little town today for Beto. He is coming on Thursday to speak in our little town.

1. It's not a long shot!

Beto has been inching up on Cruz in the polls by mere single digits!

[brooklynite]

2. No longer a long shot.....

Now a "LEAN R" race per Cook.

[leftieNanner]

3. Go Beto!

To (approximately) quote Al Franken from his latest book.

"I like Ted Cruz as well as anybody else in the Senate.... And I hate Ted Cruz."

4. I have seen Beto yard signs, Beto tee shirts, Beto bumper stickers, even

a dog wearing a Beto harness, out walking with its owner.

Beto has been visible & everywhere in N Dallas for quite sometime.

I have seen NO public displays for Cruz.

I take it as a good omen.

8. Do Cruz supporters

wear paper bags on their heads?

[Wwcd]

9. Yes, & they don't even leave their homes until the dark shadows of night.

16. same here. Several weeks ago while in a suburb of Amarillo TX i saw Beto signs but none for Cruz

i took it to be a good sign that this deeply red state is waking up to the nonsense Cruz and his conservative cohorts have been peddling all these years.

[Wwcd]

17. Dallas to Amarillo! That's really great to hear!

Especially Amarillo. Isn't that kind of a red area?

Correct me if I have that wrong...

[onetexan]

21. yes, Amarillo is trump territory

The blue areas in Texas are concentrated in and around the larger cities but the majority of the state is rural and red..
From what i can make of Amarillo, most of the city (pop. ~200K) is old, dingy and crime infested except the SW area which is new and affluent. It was quite a surprise to see not one, but TWO Beto signs in this one street yet no Cruz yard signs. I've heard people say Tx is a non-voting Dem state, and i think that's true in many respects. I'm hoping with this madness in the WH the current state of affairs will drive more Dems to the polls this November.

22. I live in Amarillo

Pretty much right about all that. Old and crime ridden. But plenty of Beto signs around to see

19. My dog needs a Beto harness and Beto t-shirt

Wohoo go Beto!!!

[sarcasmo]

5. No long shot, Beto is polling with in three points of Lying Ted.

[SunSeeker]

6. Beto will win if we get out the vote!

[Bradshaw3]

7. Good for you!

We have to work, donate and then of course vote. We've got to keep this train rolling, from small towns in Texas to big cities in Florida.

[sharedvalues]

10. Go beto!

[D_Master81]

11. Are they airing ads calling Cruz "Lyin' Ted"?

With Trump's voice saying it. Was wondering if the Dems are playing up that angle at all or not?

[Lonestarblue]

12. Ted's legislators ve record should be aired.

He has only 6 bills he has sponsored, mostbof which were fairly ipunimportant. One was relief after Hurricane Harvey, which any politician from Texas would have introduced. It is obvious that Ted Cruz wants to be a Senator only as a launching pad for the presidency, not because he has done anything, or will, for the people of Texas.

[IrishEyes]

13. It is not a long shot. It is entirely possible.

Please keep handing out those fliers. It can happen. Ted Cruz is really disliked. Beto will do a great job as senator.

[paleotn]

14. Not a long shot at all.

[nature-lover]

15. Seen some Beto yard signs. Never seen one for a Dem. before. Progress!

[herding cats]

18. Actually, it's a toss up!

I'm currently working with the campaign. We have a shot!

I'm not prone to histrionics, look me up here if you like. I'm honestly feeling empowered and excited for once about our chances.

20. Thanks texasfiddler for canvassing!
