Never underestimate the number of wing nuts in Texas, but...

-Enthusiasm generated by Beto's campaign is incredible. On the ground here, it feels a like like Obama in 2008, but BIGGER.
-A significant number of Republicans are disgusted with Trump/Cruz and flipping to Beto (I know at least a few, including my parents).
-Tons of new voter registrations. I know many people who didn't vote, or weren't registered, in 2016 that are registered and fired up for this one

I believe these are enough to push us over the edge, but we must GOTV like never before.

And has hurt Texans repeatedly eince he's been in office, and lied to the people. They were bribed to give the wealthy huge tax cuts forever by destroying all social programs we pay for especially Social Security , which has no effect on th ebudget, and they know it but just like with all our health care being destroyed , they want these destroyed also. Cruz will vote right along with whatever trump wants now, because he's too scared to stand up ad say anything to him.
