im not calling anyone...but y'all inspired me to make another donation 😁

I get weekly text messages. 

If I tell them I hate the current R party and plan to vote against every single one of them, will the texts stop?

I'm sorry, look at all these old fucking goblins at this thing:  Let's go one by one:  Beatrice She has not missed a single city council meeting or church bingo in 35 years. S

I do volunteer work for Beto's campaign (surprise!). I get called a "libtard" on a regular basis and get a lot of responses that are just "#MAGA!" and the like, but I also hear a lot of "who is Beto?"

It helps.    Then you get texts asking you if you want to do something like the phone banking, canvassing, or at the least financial contributions.  But once we hear "I'm for Beto" the message changes.  If you stay with it and don't want to do anything but vote, then you get taken off the list.   At least that is the way it was explained to me.

Somehow I wound up on multiple lists so I had 3 different people texting and emailing me. I finally told them I was already voting for Beto. I've bought signs and I might donate more in the future if they stop spamming me from 3 directions. Got a short apology and haven't had another text since. I get it they are running an aggressive uphill campaign and it's mostly grassroots, but they need to get their coordination improved.

Interesting neighborhood he went canvassing. Whispering Oaks is upper middle class. 4 bedroom houses small lots. Plays into the move by Democrats to go after suburban type voters. Would have been interested to see if he would have went into richer areas like Stone Oak or Terrell Hills.

Yes. I got several texts within a couple of weeks. I hate being bothered. So I said I would vote for Beto if they don't text me again. So far they have not.

Trump has a small positive approval rating here at +3%.  I bet his appearance would move the needle Cruz’s way but not much.  

I don't see it moving the needle at all.  Trump supporters at this point are basically about as hard-core partisan and energized as you can get and they are voting R whether it's Cruz or Putin as their candidate.

Beto's problem is name ID; he just needs to keep doing what he's doing and keep the money coming in so he can go heavy on the tv ads in the 45 days prior to the election.  

I'm a little surprised but not entirely so that the DNC hasn't pulled Obama in but I'd think they have data that would suggest it fires up the Trumpers more than pulls in the lazy D's.  

Debates should help Beto, too, not that anyone cares what gets said (well smart people do but that's not the electorate).  Free tv time, and again, he's the one that is suffering from an attention deficit.

how much do billboard signs cost on the major Houston/Dallas freeways? That gets hundreds of thousands of eyes daily.

I said the same thing a month ago. He needs to put $ in 10 billboards in DFW HOU SA and AUS that just say BETO.  I bet that would be good ROI.

I think the problem there is billboards are typically sold 6 months+ out (at least that's how Reagan has operated in Austin).  I'm sure that's a money problem to some extent, should someone wish to get moved to the front of the line.  I don't think it's accidental that one rarely sees billboard advertising for political races.

That’s a really bad tweet. Just bad. Like, did his team think that was a strong message? Do you ever want to say “vote (opponent)” in one of your messages? Plus it’s just a lazy, clunky attack on his opponent. 

Regardless, the rural rubes will eat it up.

He has no message and is why he's been reduced to defending Alex Jones and begging the guy who called your wife ugly to campaign for you.  Cruz has nothing, is nothing, and offers nothing except his own ambition which would lead him to piss on his own family if he thought it would get him another vote.

The DNC has so much to offer...Socialism, destruction of ICE, endless illegals just kickin' it here, free education and healthcare that'll bankrupt us...but that's the beauty of Socialism.  

You can't make everyone equally rich...but we can all be equally poor!   Beto will help make it a ghetto!

if the idiots can knock off $200 billion from the military, all that is possible.  Priority # 1 is healthcare.

Since Trump took office the deficit has jumped 20%.

I don't even want to hear you or any of your ilk even pretend that yours is the party of fiscal responsibility.  I would say you lose credibility when you make such arguments, but you have none to lose anyway.

Ted wants to know how many votes would he get for pissing on how many family members. Needs to make sure it’s worth it since he normally likes to be the pissee, not the pissor.

There is no party if fiscal responsibility.

A. I'm highly frustrated with the last budget and that they passed it.  But let's not pretend Obama was any better...or Hillary would have been different. 

B. I'm NOT voting for that type of spending...BUT they're not spending money to placate me or to get my vote.  They do it, in large part to keep from being crucified by the left for 'draconian cuts'...which typically means reduced spending increases.  😡

I'm not bankrupting shit.  

I want the Gov to be trimmed by 20%...and I'd be ok with cutting even more.  I want a balanced budget.

Noticed you had no mention of recently passed tax cuts and exploding deficits in your moronic screed. And I’m not sure what the point of your but Obama is but your post is too stupid to bother with analysis.

I want a balanced budget, tax cuts and reduced spending and 24 hour blowjobs for all! And no I’m not a dipshit!
