That stunt at the convention cemented many people opinion of him as a person. Yes people will vote for him but I'd imagine many who do - don't much like him which makes generating enthusiasm around his candidacy much more difficult.
I think the lesson here is don't be a dick it'll cost you votes. This among other reasons is why I can never run for political office
Personally I respected him more because of what he did.
notice no one tells President Trump he needs to respect conservatives like cruz.
I do respect and support the President but I don’t think Cruz has done the wrong things on these issues.
Democrats spent a billion dollars on these midterm elections. They sent 80 million dollars to Texas to flip it. Beto took no meaningful positions on issues at any debate.
faux conservatives and radical liberals were joined together in playing the ‘hate his style’ game. I am not fooled by any of that.
I did not really like Beto’s style of having a drunk driving accident and running away from it. I didn’t like his style of being a very wealth individual pretending to be middle class.
I understand why the Media and the Elite do this. I do not and will not understand why individuals professing to be conservative to do this.
Cruz is an excellent communicator and his superior style and substance in the two debates is probably why he still won. Beto backed out of the idea of having six debates because he was getting whipped. Beto did get a free one hour infomercial from CNN— which is outrageous.
If there is a more conservative senator in the Senate, I would love to know who it is.
until then— I absolutely support Cruz.
