Does anyone in Texas know if this is a real problem or if the electorate is sure Cruz will win and is not making a big deal out of this?
Cruz has run a weak campaign thusfar. He finally got something going in Houston this past week, but I don’t think he’s done anything in the north Dallas suburbs. And he hasn’t been working the panhandle like he should.
Not much in the way of media, and even less in retail campaigning.
At this stage, it may be that Ted’s doing a better job at trying to lose than the Irishman is in trying to win.
Lots of Beto signs in my mom’s neighborhood (Lake Highlands) in Dallas when I was there the past few days. Only a few for Cruz. It has me concerned.
Personally, I think there's a good chance Buto will take Cruz, unless Texans wake the hell up, because we are in an unusual situation right now.
We have the brain dead that want Cruz to crash and burn because it will make them feel good after 2016.....even knowing Buto will try to destroy President Trump's agenda.
Then we have the oblivious Republican voters that think it's going to be a normal election cycle, even when evidence seems to suggest it's not.....and spout off platitudes like "Texan's won't go Socialist" or "Texans won't vote in a gun grabber". They're about as dangerous to Cruz/Trump as the above mentioned brain dead.
On the other side, the Hispanic community seems to be buying Buto's "I'm one of you" schtick..........along with his promises of an open border and free stuff for all. I think we're going to see a higher turn out, than normal, from that part of the electorate this year.
And finally, the hatred the Dem's feel against Trump is almost manic. The drive to destroy the man they are convinced is Hitler/Devil is unlike anything I've ever seen before. They've also been pushing the idea that Buto is the next Kennedy/Obama for their party, which is resulting in money pouring in from all over the country. They've efficiently used that money to put together a get out the vote organization that looks/acts a lot like Obama's machine.
Anyway, that's my two cents worth of what I'm seeing on the ground in Texas. I'm frustrated....but praying that our side will start taking this race seriously.
