Democrats See a Chance at Beating Ted Cruz

https://politicalwire.com/2018/03/06/democrats-see-chance-beating-ted-cruz/

"SNIP.........

“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 O’Rourke vying to compete for the Senate seat of Republican Ted Cruz,” the Washington Post reports.

“It’s a daunting task for O’Rourke, 45, a three-term congressman. But there are signs he could at least keep November’s election close, including an impressive early-vote turnout among Democrats for Tuesday’s primaries, robust fundraising reports and polls showing declines in popularity for Cruz and President Trump. Neither O’Rourke nor Cruz is facing serious competition in Tuesday’s 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.

I would love to see how Ryan admires his navel when this seat flips.

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.
