Texans are turning on him in the droves. Republicans in Congress really , really hate this guy too, and want him gone. Its not a surprise Beto is rising above him quickly with the serial liar cruz doing just like trump, nothing but lies and flimsy false claims. His re-election is in serious trouble. Vote People, this guy is going to help them take your SS and health care away completely if given the chance, and cruz voted for the wealthy and corporate tax scam bill they passed, taking trillions out of our economy for their pockets. Vote!

But the GOP big money will not let their boy go easily and after the primary (March 6) the rw will go full out, making Beto seem like a foaming liberal who wants to kill babies, destroy the church, let Lesbians run the government and bring in millions of Muslim terrorists. They have the money and the power. It will be a hard thing to elect Beto but we have our best chance in a long time. (Also there are lots of people who despise TC.)

of the 1/2 billion they plan to spend will go for Cruz? In some ways it is like bailing a rowboat with a teaspoon.

I did donate to Wendy in 2014 because I admired her for her courage, among other things.
But I knew she wasn’t going to win and,sure enough,she was trounced by creepy, hypocritical Greg Abbott.
My donations went to out of state Dems running for the House of Representatives, The Senate, gubernatorial candidates, and of course the Presidency.
Beto ‘O Rourke can win this election. He’s traveling across the state, not just the Democratic big cities but in some of the reddest small towns in the state, figuring that if can get one vote or one person to reassess their political views it would be worth it.
The list of out of staters I’ve contributed to is long and the donations have been the double digits( I’m hardly a wealthy man) but if some of you non Texans could toss a little change Beto’s way it would be appreciated.
