Even if Trump wins Texas, I’ll still consider it a win if the good ol’ Texans can vote Cruz out of office.

That’s great news! Allred has a strong chance to beat Cruz.

I just donated a few bucks to Allred’s campaign. Let’s turn Texas blue, y’all.

I hope that he does.Â
Texans, show up, make sure they see that their gerrymandering and voter suppression isn’t absolute and you do have a voice that they cannot silence.Â

Imagine a world without both Trump and Cruz in the spotlight.
What a wonderful world it would be.

I see conservatives calling for term limits occasionally, but I guess they just mean term limits for Democrats.
Cruz’s sheer unlikeability, his self serving nature, his damn near uselessness and disregard for his constituents, speaks to the blind, partisan allegiance of conservatives who continue to vote for the guy.
All he does is pander to the culture warriors on Twitter with fearmongering propaganda every election cycle.

> One thing Ted Cruz is really good at: uniting people who otherwise disagree about everything else in a total hatred of Ted Cruz
> 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 one percent less.

Here’s the full interview that appears in clips on this post:
WFAA – [Liz Cheney, Colin Allred sit down after Cheney endorsed the Democrat for Senate](https://youtu.be/7fHBoqFyOBE) (12:47)
That seems like a race worth dumping some money into.

*Please* do win, Allred! Cruz deserves to be *run* out of town this time, instead of slinking away like a coward.
And if TX then flips blue altogether, all the better!

We hope so, Mr. Allred. We truly do.

What a great pickup this would be for the Democrats! F Cruz!

Cruz must go

I hope he does, I’ll be voting for him. I can’t get my stupid House rep out because they gerrymandered my district, but hopefully I can help finally get rid of Cruz.

I’ve been voting to get rid of Ted Cruz for over a decade. At this point I’d vote for a crate of rotten apples. I’m happy to see we’ve still got momentum to get rid of that shit head cruz.

I don’t understand how someone as unlikable as Cruz ever got elected in the first place. Surely someone with a little bit of charm could spout the same bullshit?
TheHillsHavePis on
Somehow he’ll stay in office. Cruz is like a pest that won’t go away. No matter how much he’s mocked and ridiculed as incompetent.
It’s like McConnell. The dude was absolutely abhorrently bad at governing and in 2022 won his race in a landslide

Ted Cruz, Colin Allred virtually tied in race for U.S. Senate, according to new poll
https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/politics/ted-cruz-colin-allred-poll-results-texas-us-senate-race-election/287-e11369f6-de65-4178-ac62-c5bc525e5c8f
Allred and Cruz will meet face-to-face in their first, and perhaps only, debate on October 15 at 7:00 p.m. at WFAA’s studios in downtown Dallas.
