Texas might surprise everybody. Part of the reason I think Texas Republicans are vulnerable is because Texas has poor turnout-

https://www.texastribune.org/2016/11/09/heres-where-texas-voters-turned-out-and-where-they/

There's a lot of slack there & it's hard to see conservatives having much fire in their bellies. Dems are a whole different story. Gerrymandering won't help Cruz, in any case.

Painfully true, around less than half of the people I know vote here in Bexar. A majority of those that do vote are outspoken conservatives, I've been saying for years Texas has the possibility to be a battle ground state right now. The real question is how do you get people out to polls when their lives are comfortable and cost of living is cheap?

Yeah, a lot would have to work in his favor for that to be a realistic prospect. But making an overt statement to that effect in Texas takes a certain amount of guts.
More like terminal fucking stupidity.

Far more conservative than Trump's fascist demand to take everyone's guns without due process. Recall that Cruz endorses Trump; ergo: Cruz wants to take all your guns. Boo-ya!
I think you're actually stupid enough to believe that.

A ton of people in texas live in utter poverty. Still vote republican. It's in some ways inexplicable to see people go against their own best interests over and over and over again.

They've been trained to value their tribal membership over any potential economic gain.

Their handlers pretend to share their traditions/values and then claim that everyone else on the planet is attacking them.

They hoover up the votes, and all they ever do for their useful idiots is talk mad game while cutting their own taxes. Tragic, but hilarious to some extent.

I'm convinced the words "tax cut" give immediate erections to people down here. Seeing people get so excited about getting $80 more a year from their tax return but be against eliminating the need to buy health insurance saving up to 20% of their annual income completely blows my mind.

The callous insincerity of Conservative leadership is obvious to anybody not caught in thrall to their propaganda. They've been looting America since Reagan.

thank fuck kathaleen wall didn't make even the runoff

Was reading what she wanted to do, cut fed spending - a little too late for that

And I saw this, "Republican mega-donor Kathaleen Wall did not advance to the runoff despite pumping close to $6 million of her own money into her campaign"
