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?"

That first article is mostly tweets from Republicans about their hatred fro Cruz.

haha.  that's all the Left has focused upon is the negative while spewing hatred and division.

 

Texas would be bold not to succumb to the 'Liberal of the next campaign' program.

Slorch, Thanks for posting that first article with all the Republicans ripping on Ted, my favorite example from your article is from Charles Krauthammer who sums it up nicely  "Everybody who knows him in the Senate hates him. And I think hate is not an exaggeration."

Again, thanks for posting Slorch, good reminder that NOBODY likes Ted Cruz.

Slorch's feeble juco brain once again on display. 

Yeah....I don't even know how to respond to whatever the fuck he just posted.  The metaphorical punching yourself in the face is just embarrassing.  

Lots of folks loathe Ted Cruz (I'm among them, absolutely).  So are a shitload of Republicans.  Because Ted is a loathesome toad.

Interestingly enough, Beto's campaign, actions, and statements, have spent almost ZERO time mentioning or focusing on Ted and his loathsomeness.  Instead, it's been the EXACT OPPOSITE of what you supposedly lament.  AND, to top it off, that approach is getting MILLIONS of Americans (buncha "leftists") to ADMIRE the approach, and hold it up as how things SHOULD be done. 

In other words, you just posted about how libs are all about hate and division, and:

1 -- you did so in the context of Beto O'Rourke....

2--- who has run a campaign that is distinctive and unique in that is has studiously AVOIDED hate and division, and....

3 -- that approach has been held up by millions of Beto supporters around the nation as the way things should be done.

Pretty solid logical reasoning there, chief.  Top-notch.

this is Slorch’s, Trump slays  seedy payday loan industry, moment 

He is definitely trying to pick up the slack on this swamless board.

and so far he’s been doing a really piss poor job of it, but today is definitely an improvement. Will he reach swam level idiocy? Time will tell.

Few thoughts.

Over 40 million people viewed that video. if 2-3%of viewers gave $25 to Beto, it may have raised him $25 million. That's a huge fundraising. boom.

Beto is going to have to figure how to ride all this national attention to increase his profile and raise money without starting to look like an outsider. Funded by outsiders. I don't want Cruz to be given an opportunity to paint him like Jon Ossof.

With all this attention and the race tightening, we can expect a number of legit polls from legit outfits. Will be interesting to see the cumulative effect of these last few weeks.

I’m sorry but I think it’s kinda great the Texas GOP is getting in a Twitter spat with AOC.

Y’all were saying Beto needed an outside attack dog to go after Cruz and the GOP?

Well that’s kinda what this looks like. 

She should stay away from promoting Beto but I have no problem with her trolling Cruz and the GOP from her yankee perch.

Gotta make it a culture war instead. 

Looks like the Texas GOP took down the tweet linking to Ted's ad for some reason.  Cruz's ads are still on Youtube, though - but the comments are disabled on all of them.  Are they sensitive that everyone can call them on their bullshit on Twitter?  Such bitches.

Someone should start a PAC called Cucks for Cruz and then buy commercial time with the ad consisting of nothing but someone reading Cruz's quotes from the 2016 campaign about what a pyscopath Trump is, all the while displaying the phonebank photo. End it with texas tough. Never mention Beto, never criticize Cruz. Just his words.

 

This ad paid for by Cucks for Cruz.

Honest to God, now that we've banned the bots, trolls, and Rocko, @slorch is undoubtedly the stupidest motherfucker on this board.  He's just intensely and wontonly dumb.  He's the type of person for whom the pejorative "spoon" was developed.

Slorch'd!

Our eighth and final phone bank is underway. It's very obvious that Beto's name recognition has skyrocketed in the last five weeks.  A lot more people we call know who he is. It's also gratifying to see how many enthusiastic young people are showing up for these things.  I would say the average age of our attendees is about 23.  NW Austin peeps, too bad you weren't able to show up, you would have enjoyed the, um, "scenery".  No, no pics.  I want these girls to come back if we have any more events.  Anyway M12 is going this weekend to be trained as a volunteer trainer and I'll probably do the same.  We're all in.  We've also contributed the max to his campaign. That's right.  The 1%, I am in it.

again, if you support this guy, how do you reconcile how stupid he thinks that you are?

Here is the text from the Cruz flier in there they want you to pass around:

 

Quote

Ted Cruz: Delivering for Texas Highlights of Cruz’s Accomplishments •

Authored and passed law allowing states to drug test unemployment benefit recipients •

Authored and passed law banning known terrorists from entering the US to be UN representatives •

Authored and passed law directing $5 billion in tax relief for Hurricane victims •

Authored and passed law expanding 529 savings accounts to include K-12 education •

Authored and passed law mandating Fort Hood shooting victims receive the Purple Heart •

Authored and passed law to develop first ever space-based missile interceptor testbed •

Authored and passed law to designate North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism •

Authored and passed law with bipartisan support strengthening NASA •

Led effort to pass law that repealed Obamacare individual mandate

It's like reading my resume when I was 17.  "Led efforts to remediate high temperature food dispensaries that fed hundreds."  You cleaned the grease trap at Corn Dog 7?  Yeah.

 

Look at how little there is and how little any of that has to do with Texas interests -- and I am accepting his characterizations of his own actions. 

Authored and passed law allowing states to drug test unemployment benefit recipients • Don't care, at best

Authored and passed law banning known terrorists from entering the US to be UN representatives • Don't care.  This is your number 2 thing?  Some Jade Helm sounding thing?

Authored and passed law directing $5 billion in tax relief for Hurricane victims • Great!

Authored and passed law expanding 529 savings accounts to include K-12 education • Don't care, at best

Authored and passed law mandating Fort Hood shooting victims receive the Purple Heart • Don't care, sounds super small and something that took nothing more than writing on a letterhead and sending it to committee

Authored and passed law to develop first ever space-based missile interceptor testbed • SPACE FORCE SPACE FORCE SPACE FORCE!

Authored and passed law to designate North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism • Whew.  I imagine that was quite a battle to get others to finally view DPRK as a bad guy

Authored and passed law with bipartisan support strengthening NASA • SPACE FORCE SPACE FORCE SPACE FORCE!

Led effort to pass law that repealed Obamacare individual mandate

The 529?thing is nothing but a taxpayer subsidy for private schools. It once again shows the GOP to be the enemy of public education.

Way to attract those suburban moms!
