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?"

I don’t get out of Austin much, but had to go up to Georgetown yesterday. Saw 3 Cruz yard signs in one small neighborhood. 0 Beto signs in said neighborhood.

Over half the Cruz signs I have seen are in public right of ways, not in personal yards.  To me when you see one in the middle of someone's yard, they are putting themselves out there, and that means that sign is a vote. 

The orphan signs stuck on corners with the lost cat posters on the power pole seem more like graffiti to me.

Nine whole texts?   Over the course of 9 months?  Whoa.  What an inconvenience that must have been!  Certainly the aggravation was worth $4500.   

And for what it's worth, I have yet to respond to a  Beto text without it being responded to in time. 

Yeah, this lawsuit is completely bogus.

I was texted by them months ago. They had a wrong name associated with my number and I told them so. They then followed by asking me if I was a registered Texas voter etc. I told them their man seemed like a decent guy but I don’t vote and was not going to vote (I know that won’t go over on this thread, but that’s not the point), so they shouldn’t bother contacting me anymore. And they haven’t since. It was a completely pleasant interaction.

If he would have just interacted with them like a normal human, could have been handled in 5 minutes.

Gonna get this thread back on track. New Linklater spot. This one about traveling to every county in Texas/Iowa. They should put this one on TV. I would donate.
 

have these been running on TV? This might be the most effective one.

That's your right, but out of curiosity... what are you doing on this thread?

There's a good chance multiple people will die at this Trump rally.

Wondering how many people will actually show. My guess is less than 10,000

Yeah, I doubt they get that place 1/2 full. That 100,000 requests sounds bogus.

Went back to Gainesville for my grandma’s funeral this weekend.  I’ve mentioned before how conservative/Republican both Gainesville and Cooke County are.  I saw about 5 or 6 Ted Cruz signs.  But the amount of Beto yard signs I saw....Jesus.  I was floored because, well it’s Gainesville.  I thought the Beto signs would just be in certain neighborhoods, but nope, they are also in the “old money” neighborhoods too. 

I still don’t think he will win, but Beto’s signage game in some of these strongly conservative areas is interesting.

Sorry for your loss, regardless.

Mexican Mexicans aren't even the same. You got sing-song ranchero Mexicans up in Pancho Villa land, you got Regio Monterrey Mexicans who make natural Romney Republicans, you got your Tapatio in Guadalajara, your Jarocho in Veracruz who stepped right out of a 1930s movie about dockworkers, you got your Chilango Mexico City crypto-commie Buddy-Holly-glasses-wearing UNAM profesora, you got Yucatecos who are "Mexican" the same way the IRA love Queen Elizabeth, you got throwback almost Mussolini dudes marching down the street a bock away from the Workers' Party, (and since it's Mexico the graphic design is simultaneously retro and stunning), you got Yaquis don't know the Otomis don't know the Nahuatl speakers who amongst themselves have a bunch of dialects that theirs is right and all the others suck, you got Pocho-wannabees staring at their phones and saying weird English stuff like "Thanks God!" or "I must to go!", you got your Frenchies and Spaniards and Lebanese Arabs (called Turcos for clarity) and every nation of East Asia referred to as Chinos. You got your old-school Catholic, your atheist, your Jew, your crypto-Jew, your college kid thanking Tlaloc for rain, your Pentacostal speaking in tongues, and 3 or 4 Mormons. You got blond Mennonites selling cheese in the middle of the intersection speaking the most back-road Spanish you ever heard. The Mennonites, not the cheese.

Bad hombres. Rapists all.

There's a lonely Cruz sign in a yard in Hyde Park.  It's for the back house of a duplex and the front house has a Beto sign.  This person just moved into the neighborhood a couple of months ago.  I wonder how long they'll last.

We are neighbors 😀

i thought about posting a picture of it

I really admire your optimism and hope you are right. But, it's the same optimism you had in regards to the Kavanaugh nomination. It wasn't based on the obvious facts. It will take a Democratic turnout of epic proportions for Beto to win... possible but not probable.

I admit I could be wrong.  I’ve watched Beto campaign for a year and it’s been like nothing I’ve ever seen.  Cruz is objectively a putz and brings nothing to the table except (not a democrat).  There’s just something in the air that makes me think Beto can pull it off. 

I admit it’s wishful thinking and if Cruz wins, Texas doesn’t deserve Beto anyway.

I want him to and I'm pitching in.

But I'm afraid he's got a silent voting bloc the same way Trump did: people who won't answer a poll and don't talk about it at the water cooler at work, but will vote.

If I had to guess, Cruz wins by 4 to 6 points.

And Beto still has a very nice career in front of him.

Whatever happens, Beto has ran a hell of a campaign. If Cruz wins, Texas can kiss his ass goodbye because we won't see him for at least 5 years. Not until the next election where he'll show up, promise a bunch of stuff he won't get done and call any challenger a Socialist, take your guns away, let the Mexicans in, Communist. And the circle goes round and round.

I noticed an increase in Cruz signs popping up this weekend. For every Beto sign there seem to be 3 Cruz signs going up.

 

 

Where are they? Are they actually in peoples yards, or are they in ROWs and public property? Most of the Cruz signs I’ve seen have been in ROWs.

People are putting them up on their gate entrances in our area. Yards aren't really visible from the road. The reason I noticed it was because its unusual to see political signs and there has been a proliferation of them this past week.

Ted Cruz and others don’t care.  Ted only wants to be president and his only path is to remain senator.  Therefore he will kiss trumps ass in front of 18k people today if necessary.    Trump definitely set Cruz’s plan back 8 years but Cruz is setting himself up for 2024.  

Note: I don’t think Cruz will ever be president but his chances even get closer to 0 if he can’t win a second term as TX senator.

Why?

By all accounts, the GOP love people who haven't been elected officials in years.  Romney (2008 runner up, 2012 nominee), Huckabee (3rd place in 2008), Gingrich (4th place finish in 2012), Santorum (2nd place finish in 2012) were all out of office when they ran pretty sustained presidential campaigns.
