The polls that show Cruz and O'Rourke in dead heat are nonsense - they're on par with the prediction of a Hillary landslide in 2016. These numbers all assume that most eligible voters will turn out to vote, which is never the case in a state like TX with very low voter turnout among the large Hispanic population.

The other illusion/delusion about O'Rourke's chances comes from his massive fundraising. The trouble is, a great deal of that is soft money coming from out of state Democrat organizations, not by grassroots support in his home state.

Cruz will win this one by close to double digits without even putting in much effort.

Bet that is NOT the case this year. The Hispanic community members I know are VERY excited about voting for Buto, to stop Trump, because too many of them believe Trump plans to kick even the LEGAL Hispanics out of the country.

And no, I'm not joking about this. Several people have made comments about how they are carrying their (and their children's) birth certificates, in case those evil Trump ICE/Border Patrol people try to take them to jail for being Hispanic.

The media/Dem's propaganda, has definitely been cultivated well, in certain parts of Texas.........
