People smile at Beto’s rallies Bc they like Beto. No one liked Ted.  Ask Heidi 

Ask anyone.

Remember his college roommate?

And, you know, I want to be clear, because Ted Cruz is a nightmare of a human being. I have plenty of problems with his politics, but truthfully, his personality is so awful that 99 percent of why I hate him is just his personality. If he agreed with me on every issue, I would hate him only 1 percent less.

And of course, no begrudging Ted this fact, but...

Quote

Ted Cruz thinks people don’t have a right to “stimulate their genitals.” I was his college roommate. This would be a new belief of his.

Summed up with this:

Quote

Sadly, the fact that Ted Cruz jacks off to mediocre porn spam is the most human thing we can say about him. This is actually his high point.

Take it from folks who REALLY know Ted Cruz....you don't wanna know Ted Cruz.

He managed to lose a primary to the least qualified candidate of all time.

To be fair, Trump is more likable.  And he's utterly loathsome....but more likable than Ted.

Trump looks like the textbook definition of charisma next to Ted that human shaped bag of sand with the personality of a robot.

The thought of Ted Cruz masturbating literally just made me gag. Literally. Thanks for that.

"Ted Cruz did me a favor, so you all in Texas should vote for him."  COMPELLING ARGUMENT. 

Nothing in it for Ted except the dead hooker's jewelry. Fuck you, Bongino.

Christ this is such a tired argument.  How come nobody rants about how ALL LIVES MATTER, in response to “blue lives matter”?

Shouldnt all citizens that are NOT police officers get pissed about that?  Why the difference?

You know what the difference is

I think Lt. Dan might also have some brain damage from the war.

 

And does Cruz have anyone working on his campaign staff that can vet people before they post shit? Maybe see if Lt. Dan is cuckoo ca choo before wanking him off?

I'm sure it was not easy to find a disabled vet who is kind of racist but not so racist that he won't vote for someone named Cruz.  That crazy sweet spot is very narrow.

So, the Ted Cruz campaign tour pics.....can anyone find a single smile for me?  EVERY single person has a sour face.  Contrast that with Beto's crowds, which while there are plenty of serious expressions, are full of smiles and actual positive enthusiasm.

And it genuinely matches up with the folks I know on either side of the race.  Folks supporting Cruz are unpleasantly scared, angry, and humorless (BUILD THE WALL!  PROTECT US FROM MOOSLEMS!  GIMME EVEN MORE GUNS!).  Folks supporting Beto ahve come across as hopeful, positive, and embracing and repeating a message that ALL Texans are important.

Looking for a smile at a Cruz rally is a waste of time.

Well I mean it is easy to smile when you are a socialist Muslim MS-13 member who is going to kill all those sweet clean white folk who go to Cruz rallies.

I counted 15+ Beto signs going down about ten blocks on Duval in Hyde Park this weekend. I know, low hanging fruit, but still cool to see.

I counted 10 neighbors in HP who believed that essential oils could cure breast cancer. Speaking of fruits.

Beto was interviewed today at the Texas Disabilities Issues Forum.

 

Beto's comments about the debates come from this interview.  Starts @ 23:00 mark.  The way he says it, it is like he is playing with house money and it's fun!

Best line from tonight ...

 

“We know separating parents from their children who traveled 2000 miles and risked everything for their kids and sending them back to the country they came from and locking the children in cages is inhumane and unjust ... the only question that remains is whether that’s American or not.”

 

Guy knocked it out of the park.

 

Healthcare

Immigration

Education

Criminal justice reform

Race relations

Racism

Equality

 

The guy is the real deal.

 

And we homos can party like rock stars. Made a Monday party look like a Thursday night place to be. Had probs 125-150 total.

 

Campaign was duly impressed and I had a fantastic time with an amazing team at HRC Austin getting this guy some serious scratch.

That's awesome!  It's so great to see so many people engaged, instead of just sitting around reiterating sound bites.  Mad respect!

Shout out to Ghost of LL making an appearance and bringing some drinking buddies with him. The guy can hold his own. Solid A+ dude. Not sure I can say the same for the rest of you clowns.

Exactly. How many votes does he get?

Well, in the 2016 Florida Congressional Primary, he came in 3rd place with 17.39%.

2014 Maryland Congressinal General, he got 48.2%.

2012 Maryland Senate General, he got 26.66% (Jesus, dude, how on earth do you only get 26.66% of the votes as the nominee from 1 of the 2 major parties - like, that's really not good.)

am I supposed to know who Dan Bongino is?

Of course you are.  They share 98.7% of their DNA with humans.  Wait...that's "bonobos."

I got no idea who Bongino is.

But I'm betting we'd all be better off if he was a bonobo.

Uh oh, Beto getting some olds. Ted's really in trouble now.

A good 40% of the crowd in Huntsville was old AND white.  I thought the same thing.

upthread is a pic of the Houston Westbury high school meeting where most of the crowd seems to be old whites. I recall that area being mostly black/Latino, perhaps the demographics have changed, but if they haven't it's an interesting photo. Conversely, where are the minorities at that meeting?

Lt. Dan sure has a high opinion of himself.

You know what?  Fuck you, Lt. Dan.  Fuck you.

In the least shocking news of the day, just learned that this self-righteous no-legged asshole is also an Evangelist preacher and on Liberty University's Board of Trustees.  A preacher commanding others to stand for him is some next level, blasphemous bullshit.

Its all about the money money money (apologies to Jessie J for scrambling the words).

I think the demographics of some of these events is skewed depending on the time and day. The Westbury event was on a Monday around 5 pm.

I honestly think people underestimate the power of peer pressure when it comes to politics.  So many people are called moderate when really they're just outsourcing their thinking to their neighbors.  If they see a bunch of W stickers in their neighborhood, they will vote Republican.  It will be interesting to see how many first time D voters will be casting those votes because of all the Beto signs they're seeing everywhere.

 

I think the same thing happened with Trump signs, especially in traditionally D states like Michigan and Wisconsin.

I think there's something to this. Events like bands/beers/whatever for Beto have become trendy social events for the younger crowd. Supporting him isn't just a political choice, it's the cool thing to do in the 30 and under age group. It's all over social media. I think that is definitely getting some younger folks in on things when they otherwise probably wouldn't be. Still have to get that crowd to the polls though.

I don't want to believe this is how people vote . . . but it is absolutely part of it.  I have lived in some very liberal places where the apathetic and uninterested vote D just because everyone else does, and I have lived in very conservative areas where the opposite happens. 

My wife is very apolitical but grew up in rural Texas.  For years she would claim to be a republican, but when asked for a gut opinion on most issues would have a fairly liberal view.  I think she now claims to be a democrat mostly because she has lived around a lot of democrats for the majority of her adult life (and she liked the Obamas and thinks Trump is creepy) . . . it has little to do with well examined political thought.   

Because of this phenomenon, I think the blue/urban parts of Texas will become increasingly blue and the rural parts will remain red.  We should end up like Oregon or Washington where the state goes blue simply because the urban/suburban population outnumbers the rural population and after a few generations of living in urban settings people start to self-identify as democrats.   It will be a welcome change for the state, but it is not necessarily a sign that the average Texan has somehow become more enlightened.

I agree. I think there's something to this style of outreach
