Ted Cruzs Democratic challenger is working overtime to drive a wedge between the senator and his base on one of his central issues criminal justice reform.
Over the past six months, Rep. Beto ORourke has reached out to members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus to collaborate on the issue, hosted a Facebook Live event with them to talk marijuana policy, and sought support from the conservative advocacy group FreedomWorks for a criminal justice bill he introduced in the House.
While ORourke is no stranger to working with Republicans on issues relevant to his El Paso district, the lawmakers recent focus on criminal justice reform is part of a push to boost his profile for the uphill bid to unseat Cruz in the Senate in 2018.
Ive had more correspondence with Beto ORourkes office than most of the Republicans [in the Texas delegation], said Jason Pye, vice president of legislative affairs for FreedomWorks.....

After being called lying ted on this board by a bunch of people, I sincerely pray he would stay until such a time as he feels inclined.. a lovely, faithful conservative. Much maligned by the trumpeteers.
Off your meds again today ?
Ted Cruz will win that seat with one hand tied behind his back. And you can take it to the bank.
Off your meds again today ?
Help’s put him on an even keel with RitaOK!
I sincerely pray he would stay until such a time as he feels inclined..

Well he did stay until he felt inclined. But.........
the voting public didn’t feel so inclined.
Edward isn’t one to hang in one position
very long so we’ll see. He’ll win the
GOP primary and be re-elected if he’s so
inclined to go that route. If so he’ll
probably take another shot at the nomination
assuming Trump completes two terms.
Texas Democrats can’t even find anyone to run against our great conservative Gov. Abbott, so Beto has to hope that over-confidence will keep Republicans from voting. That’s the only chance he has Cruz.
The last polls out had him seriously down. Seems the only people trying to propagandize and raise money for him are outside of Texas. No surprise since Lyn’ Ted is a fake Texan anyway.
Give it up, they swallowed the line of crap and now all they can do is regurgitate it.
Cruz is a good man, and he doesn’t lie. You sound like a liberal.
I live in Texas, and I expect him to be in the senate for a long time.
Your post is simply disgusting! If you are trying to divide conservatives, you are doing a good job of it. Have a little pride.
Wrong. The dividing conservatives is by people that keep ignoring the truth when lying for Lyn’ Ted. Have you no shame?
Beto is my Rep he’s an Idiot.
I’ll take Cruz over 99.9% of republicans
Out in the west Texas town of Hell Paso?
Don’t EVER go full Ron Paul.
If this is “Beto’s” ace, he’s really in the hole.
This guy is an idiot and his punk band was the worst in history.
Beat it Beto
