Don't go wobbly on me now, Texas.

Cruz has the liability of smallpox, was fighting with Trump, and the democrats pulled out all the stops supporting Beto the Irish Mexican. They spent an enormous amount of money and came up empty.
Most money ever spent on a Senate race.
Media let all of the weird stuff about Bozo O’Dorke see print AFTER the election was over.
As I watched Cruz make his "vote your conscience" speech at the 2016 RNC, I swore I'd never vote for him again. Two years later and I was enthusiastically voting for Cruz, but that speech was an unforced error on his part. There are still FReepers who refer to him as "Lyin' Ted".
Not much was known about Beto at the time. All his campaign ads showed him in rolled up sleeves looking like the second coming of RFK, while he spoke in generalities of "wanting a better world for our children", etc. Not much was known about him, and ignorant soccer moms developed a crush for him and almost elected him. Now all an opponent has to do is run the clip of Beto saying "hell, yes I want to confiscate guns!"
