Voters in Texas on Tuesday are setting up a showdown that Democrats hope will lead to their first victory in a statewide election there since 1994, with Rep. Beto ORourke vying to compete for the Senate seat of Republican Ted Cruz, the Washington Post reports.
Its a daunting task for ORourke, 45, a three-term congressman. But there are signs he could at least keep Novembers election close, including an impressive early-vote turnout among Democrats for Tuesdays primaries, robust fundraising reports and polls showing declines in popularity for Cruz and President Trump. Neither ORourke nor Cruz is facing serious competition in Tuesdays primaries.

and work their asses off to vote for a country and economy where every aspect of their lives is BETTER, right now they want to vote for the people who have repeatedly made their lives exponentially worse.

And Texans are starting to see the light about him. He voted for the tax scam, and kicking millions off of their health care plan, He will help them destroy both Medicare , and Social Security as trump and the GOP are pushing for now. And he won't vote to ban assault weapons of war. No matter what this guy claims he'll do , it just another lie from Ted Cruz. He's almost as big a liar as trump, and that's pretty bad. Vote him out people.
