    The Democratic Senators, running in the Deep Red States of North Dakota, West Virginia and Indiana, have more breathing room when the Republican Party has to spend resources shoring up "safe" seats.

    Bullshit. Beto's campaign offered to debate for months without hearing anything back from Cruz' campaign. When Cruz finally did respond, it was with completely unreasonable "take it or leave it" terms.

    El Paso is not a shithole. It's one of the safest cities in the nation, is filled with friendly people, and has a ton of natural beauty. Is it a poor city? Yes, I'll grant that. But it's no shithole.

    Bobby is not about facts and context. He’s only here to try to shepherd lazy sheeple.

    Taking a page from the President he supports, I suppose.

    Seeing this poor soul unravel in this thread is quite comical.

    He/she/it (possibly a russian bot) went from first finding Beto's name amusing, and I think he even pointed out the irony in both candidates go by a nickname (or perhaps he was corrected by others, but I'm not going back and reading this crap), then cried about Beto being better at marketing (but but but his entire campaign is his name, waaah waaah waaah), then started writing out his full name a few pages back, and lately has resorted to going with "**** hole place" or something or the other, and calling him Whitey O'Rourke.

    Hahahaha I can't wait until what's next. Homeboy/homegirl/homebot is triggered af.

    Good stuff, and the irony/hypocrisy that one of his/her/its criticism of Beto is that he has been lacking substance on his policy, while at the same time having the majority of his posts focused on the man's NAME? You can't make this ish up.

    Well, it doesn't say in the Constitution that we have a right to bear sex toys.

    But it should...

    Except he would have struggled to get out of the primaries. Pretty sure Cruz is more than enough to get whatever Hispanic vote that would be swayed by such things.

    Yuck. Wonder how many of those are fake accounts, or rather, how many have actual American citizens attached.

    What great messaging: Ted Cruz is a flag stander. Otherwise a useless schmuck who doesn't help Texans, but you can count on him to criticize black athletes who peacefully kneel at the wrong time! Great!

    #empty

    But on topic: I fear the 4 points is a real chasm for Beto. Still a lot of shamed Cruz voters, I fear, who will make the final gap wider in the booth. Hope I'm wrong.

    I believe there are voters like that. But at the same time, I think there is a swell of new voters that won't be counted. That swell will have to be big to overcome the spread and the Cruz supporting liars.

    Exactly, you can tell that the more he gets triggered, the more he is starting to worry about his prediction at the start of the race that O'Rourke has "no chance"
