Ted Cruz takes on the Hollywood favorite, O'Rourke

Beto O'Rourke supports Colin Kaepernick (Video) "Beto" would have us think that supporters of Cruz are not aware and as caring about the civil rights struggle as the left. He speaks with soft, velvety demagoguery in this video just as when the liberals claim we hate immigrants when we try to stop illegal immigration. TD

Get Ready for the First Cruz-O’Rourke Debate  "Texas senator Ted Cruz and Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke will have the first of three debates on Friday night.

"Both men face something of a catch-22 from the relatively recent close poll results. On paper, Cruz should be a solid favorite. He’s led all of the polls since the race began except one. This week Quinnipiac put him ahead by nine points. No Democrat has won a statewide race in Texas since 1994, and four years ago, no Democratic statewide candidate surpassed 40 percent. The last heavily hyped Democratic candidate running statewide, gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, finished with 38.9 percent. All of the polling shows the current Republican governor, Greg Abbott, winning reelection by a wide margin.

"The one factor that could seriously endanger Cruz would be complacency among Texas Republicans; if enough GOP-leaning voters think, “Cruz will be fine, this is a deep-red state . . .” then O’Rourke could actually pull off the upset. (Just ask Massachusetts Democrat Martha Coakley how much a candidate can rely on her state’s traditional partisan lean.) In fact, both of O’Rourke’s big political victories in his career, in Democratic primaries for the El Paso City Council and Congress, came in large part from him out-hustling a comfortable incumbent." . . .  (Emphasis mine, TD)

Judd Apatow Hosting Hollywood Fundraiser for Texas Democrat Beto O’Rourke

. . . "Apatow’s event with O’Rourke comes as the Senate hopeful faces intense backlash for telling a town hall audience member who questioned his support for illegal immigration that illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico are today’s cotton pickers." . . .

. . . "Also, despite a litany of upset fans, country music star Willie Nelson tarnished his Texas star in the minds of many by announcing that he was set to headline a concert fundraiser for the liberal Democrat.

"Several other La La Land denizens also jumped to the Democrat’s support after his anthem protesting video wowed liberals everywhere."
