Beto ORourke is running to replace Ted Cruz. Literally. Sweat pours off his lean, 6 4-frame as the El Paso Democrat jogs along the southern bank of the Trinity River surrounded by 300-odd supporters and curious voters jogging along with him. Incredibly, they have shown up at 8 a.m. on a Sunday to join him for a double shot of politics and cardio. In between panting breaths, ORourke explains to me the origins of this novel campaign event, which has him running several miles under the Texas sun, stopping in the middle to take questions and lingering at the end to pose for selfies. Some sadistic member of our team, he recalls, was like, So were doing like six town halls a day in six different counties. Were driving hundreds of miles every day, were visiting all 254 counties. What more could we do? Ah, get up earlier and have running town halls.

“”No one likes Lyn Ted””
I don’t think I gave you permission to speak for me.. In spite of all the ridiculous things happening in the country today, I don’t think we’ve given up the right to our own opinions.
Ted burned a lot of bridges with his behavior during the 2016 campaign...
With that said, however, he will win re-election handily.. anyone telling you otherwise is selling snake oil.

I see the odd BETO bumper sticker or t-shirt, but only occasionally, even here in Houston. Nothing to suggest any great groundswell of support
“”Just were not forgiving him for his lies “”
Who on earth is this “we” you talk about?
Same baloney as in 2016. “Is Texas going blue? Can Hillary flip Texas?” Blah, blah, blah. Result? Hillary lost by 9%.
Yeah, you do. That's the only reason you guys continue to post your lying Ted garbage whenever something comes up about Cruz's run against the fake Hispanic Socialist.
Cruz haters should just change their tag lines to: "I support Socialists because Cruz made me mad.
LOL....Beto Who?
NoBeto
All Betos are off.
West Texas will never vote Democrat, and East Texas will not vote for a Fake Mexican. In the highly unlikely event that O’Rourke wins, it will be the result of fraud in Houston and Dallas. (We write off San Antonio, where the Mexican population always votes Democrat and Austin, where the Leftists always vote Communist.)
Reno....do you even live in TX?
Fake Mexican, Fake Americans. Interesting how we both in this election. Unlike Canadian-born Cuban Lyn’ Ted, wasn’t O’Rourke born in the US?
By the hype I was expecting some ripped he-man, then I watched the video.
The guy’s a beanpole.
I am a Texan, and your analysis sucks. Beto is roadkill; but your concern for Republicans is duly noted.
“Name one... JUST ONE... Congressperson who has done more for the cause of Constitutionally Limited Government than Ted Cruz in the last 8 years... and you’d rather see him gone.
You psychotic zealots are just beyond tedious, deluded, and counter-productive. You’re no different a brain-dead Liberal.”
Worth repeating.

Gotta love the press
300 odd people groundswell of support
30,000 at a Trump Rally, hey look, there are 3 empty seats behind a projection screen, Trump losing support!
However, I still say Cruz should campaign like he is 9 points behind. Don’t give this dweeb any ground
The bigger question for me is do I vote against George P. Bush in the general. He is running for another term as Land Commissioner. The problem here is this Bushes is like a cancer. If we let it fester he will metastasize and will be running for governor or senator someday. I have taken to calling his opponent "chemo".
I have seen one Beto O’Rourke bumper sticker and one Beto O’Rourke T-Shirt, and I live in a college town. I noticed that his campaign swag uses his first name rather than his last name.
This is Texas. The masks of the Demonicrats is completely off. I think the disgust of most Texans is pegging the meter. Voter turnout will be surprising on the conservative side. Just let Mad Maxine keep preaching her hate.
Keep on playing your delusions......but some of us are dead serious about beating back the Socialists/RINOS that have been destroying our country....and our best chance is right now, while Trump is in office.
Pimping for O'Rourke, by cutting down Cruz, may make you feel good but does nothing to help our country.......or Trump.
Idealogues have no place in this fight, as we've seen with the Never Trumpers, who would have given the White House to the Hildebeast so they could stay pure. I'll take an imperfect candidate over the damn Socialist every day of the week.....and I have no tolerance for anyone who thinks a Socialist in office is better.
You’re too stupid to know when you’ve exposed yourself, and yet you keep doing it.
Anybody attacking Cruz in this race against the democrat is either a closet liberal or dumb.
Beto?
looks more like a half-retarded Kennedy to me...
