Supporters are lining up for President Trump's big rally in Texas, one whole day before the event will take place.

With his 2020 campaign boasting "100,000+" people being interested in attending, lines of people outside the venue, shown across multiple blocks in photos tweeted by CNN's Betsy Klein, further indicate high enthusiasm for the event.

The rally, set for Monday evening at the Toyota Center in Houston, is poised to be the most powerful boost yet for Sen. Ted Cruz, who will share the stage with the man he once opposed for the presidency.

The Republican incumbent faces a surprisingly fierce challenge from Rep. Beto O'Rourke, who is enjoying a surge of popularity in a typically deep red state and has seen big crowds for his rallies.

But momentum appears to be building for Cruz, who still has an edge in polling....

Some Freeper was asking what time he should get to the event in Houston to ensure getting in. Jokingly I said Sunday 6 P.M. But perhaps I was right.

It is so classy of Trump to give this rally for Ted Cruz when Cruz was so reluctant to endorse Trump during the 2016 campaign.

Here is a humorous Cruz/Trump moment during that campaign. Seems so long ago doesn't it?

Further solidifying the good vibes for Trump and co., one of the president's most vocal detractors, lawyer Michael Avenatti, conceded Sunday he would not be holding the "resistance" rally in Texas he previously said would take place on the same day as Trump's due to a scheduling conflict.

That is funny. 8>)

Cruz has a surprisingly fierce challenge from Beto O'Rourke, who is enjoying a surge of popularity in a typically deep red state.......

Beto is being touted as the new "Kennedy" Democrats long for.

Beto is striving mightily to meet expectations. Says he loves playing touch football with his cousins,
that he lives in a "compound", named his sailboat the Honeyfitz, and his wife's name is Jackie.

When last seen at a Texas Steakhouse, Beto was ordering broiled Maine lobster and Boston Clam Chowdah.

when Cruz was so reluctant to endorse Trump

Reluctant? He out-n-out refused to endorse him, even at the convention. Had President Trump not been the bigger person, he might have lost his political career forever with his display that day. Could be the reason Robert O'Rourke is giving him such a challenge.

LOL....

NoBeto on Beto aka Robbie O’Rourke.

Hispanics in El Paso are actually disgusted by this faux (not even 1/1024) loser latching on to an hispanic nick name.

Mexico can stop this right now. Shoot out the tires of the trucks that move these people. These people are not walking. They are being drive by buses and flatbed trucks. Shoot out the tires somewhere between towns. Then these people will stop. If they fix the tires. You shoot them again. And when the trucks or buses look for gas, deny them fuel.

The comments on Kline’s twitter page! LOL! How much are they getting paid? Are these fans who travel from rally to rally? Don’t they have jobs, as they say about Democrats. So bitter. Can’t wait till that Red Tsunami hits em in 2 weeks!

Beto’s really confused.......is he latino?

Or Irish?

He’ll grab onto any identity ......even be a Serbo-Croatian .......to get a vote.

Bigger than the caravan. And they’re not even getting paid to do this. Imagine that.

This is particularly interesting as there are Beto yard signs everywhere in Houston but very few Cruz signs. I think a significant factor for this is that Beto supporters see only good things flowing to themselves from their virtuous support of Beto. On the other hand, Cruz supporters worry that either a brick of bullet may fly through one of their windows should they dare plant a Cruz sign in their yard.

The overwhelming turnout for this event is more about support for Trump than it is for Cruz, but it is also a form of protest from those who feel silenced by the mob.
