I doubt there is no crossover with folks voting R.

A lot of Dems voted for Gregg Abbot, because he is a great governor and his wife, Cecelia, and their family are wonderful people.

Cecilia is the only first lady of Texas (since statehood) that is Latin American.

Natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they cannot be anything else.
They have only one nationality.

Nothing to explain. Abbott is likable, Cruz isn’t. People who vote for Abbott are actually voting FOR Abbott. Most people voting for Cruz are really just there to vote against the “Abolish ICE” idiot O’Rourke.

Clearly the President has made his choice known. Vote for Ted, Texas or risk pissing off your President if you send him Beto as a Senator. I would vote for Cruz in a hot minute.

I am stuck with Woden & Merkley. Don’t give a Dim a foothold.

Maybe it had something to to do with DJT spreading lies about Cruz during the campaign, hmmmm, like Cruz's father being involved in an assassination, or the the whoppers about his wife?

I guess it doesn't matter about telling lies it's if it's your guy in the campaign telling them.

Well the campaign is over, Trump is President, and both he and Cruz have been able to put the campaign rhetoric behind them for the good of America. Maybe it's time for others to let go of the bullshit from the campaign days too.

Yes, which is why it is interesting that he is +20, but Cruz is only +8. That means people are voting for Abbot and Beto - splitting the ticket.

I don’t think so. Abbot is basically running unopposed. DNC chose to battle for the Senate seat instead and here we are.

No, not voting for Beto, just not voting for Cruz. Won’t be the first time people vote for a party but skip an unliked candidate.

Well, when that seat stays Democrat and Texas falls, I hope they’re proud. This doesn’t help President Trump at all.

Would be a dumb reason not to vote for him. If this face end up in the senate, it's gonna be 100x more punchable.

Yep. This is why I held my nose and voted for Cruz last week. Did my duty for party, country, and President Trump.

I’ve read all the comments, all the inputs, and all I have to say is that every, and, I mean every Texas legitimate registered voter should cast their vote for Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz & the entire POTUS, TRUMP endorsed, Texas GOP ticket..period.

STOP THE CHATTER, STOP THE BANTER, STOP THE “HOGWASH”, JUST SIMPLY GET OUT AND GO VOTE FOR THE TRUMP TEAM IN TEXAS....PERIOD!!!

When Cruz walked on stage to address the crowd at the Texas Trump rally last week, there were boos. People dont forget.
