The Democrat Party is a far-left party. Many in the Republican Party seem to believe that this makes certain Democrat Party candidates unelectable, especially in a “red” state such as Texas. The Republican Party leadership is sorely mistaken. They don’t seem to understand that 2018 is not 1984. In 1984, running on socialism, open borders, eliminating boarder security, eliminating the Second Amendment, and other anti-American policies would have been disqualifying. However, in 2018, having such anti-American policies will get one elected.
The Democrat Party leadership dismissed the Donald Trump revolution and paid a huge price in the 2016 Presidential election. The Republican Party may be making the same mistake by dismissing the Bernie Sanders revolution. The Democrat socialist voters are highly motivated, energized, and determined. They are tremendously savvy on social media, and are extremely effective at targeting millennials, minorities, and other groups. They are often well financed by the likes of George Soros and Tom Steyer.
In Texas, Senator Cruz is fighting for his political life against the far-left Democrat candidate Beto O’Rourke. It seems that the GOP establishment (and perhaps Ted Cruz) did not take the challenge of O’Rourke seriously enough during the initial stages of this campaign. Perhaps they felt that a Ted Cruz win in Texas was certain. Well, it appears that the Republican establishment was wrong, as the Democrats were wrong about candidate Donald Trump.
O’Rourke is running a highly aggressive and energetic campaign. He is raising huge amounts of money, which he is using to hit Cruz with blistering attack ads. The Cruz campaign (at least so far) seems to be having financial issues. Therefore, Cruz can’t counter O’Rourke with enough attack ads of his own. It does not seem that the Cruz campaign was prepared for such a challenge from a far-left candidate.
This should be a lesson for all Republican candidates this fall and in the future. The Republicans must fight for every vote intensely. Their opponents are out for blood. They want to destroy the Republican Party and impeach President Trump. They want war. The Democrats have become the party of Saul Alinsky. Therefore, the Republicans must become the party of Sun Tzu. Underestimating your opponent and running passive campaigns is a huge mistake. Being passive never works. It doesn’t work in business, sports, in wars, and it will certainly not work in U.S politics in 2018 and beyond.
The good news for Ted Cruz is that he still has time to turn his campaign around. Ted Cruz is the best Senator that the GOP has. Conservatives in Texas, the GOP, and President Trump should support Cruz wholeheartedly. President Trump knows that keeping such a strong conservative voice in the senate is vital to enacting his agenda. As a result, President Trump on Friday committed to campaigning for Cruz in October, at the “biggest stadium in Texas we can find.” That’s a great start. However, it would be a good idea for Trump to start campaigning for Cruz in September, given what is at stake. It would also be a good idea for Trump to ensure that Ronna McDaniel (RNC Chair) provides the much needed support that Senator Cruz requires immediately.
“Will Beto O’Rourke Beat Ted Cruz? Latest Polls, Fundraising Suggest Democrat Can Pull Off Texas Upset,” by
With less than three months until the midterm elections, new poll data has Democratic Texas Senate hopeful Beto O’Rourke in a statistical tie with incumbent Ted Cruz.
An Emerson College e-poll conducted from August 22-25 had Cruz with 38 percent of the vote and O’Rourke with 37 percent. About 21 percent of voters were still undecided, but the poll found that Cruz’s popularity is waning with independents—57 percent of them rated him as unfavorable.
An NBC/Marist poll last week placed O’Rourke within 4 points of Cruz.
A new report from the right-leaning Washington Examiner also found that Cruz, who preaches anti-establishment, Tea Party rhetoric, is worried about funding his campaign and has been reaching out to traditional Republican sources of support to ask for cash.
O’Rourke has raised more than $23 million, mostly from small donations and without corporate help. Cruz has raised about the same but lags in cash-on-hand.
Big-time Republican donors, however, have been staying out of the race. “It’s just not on my radar screen,” John Nau, a major donor in Houston, told the Washington Examiner. “I don’t have an opinion on the U.S. Senate race one way or the other… Ted’s going to win.”…

LOL YALL RACIST WYT CUCKS GONNA PAY THEM REPARATIONS
The reparations will be paid in high velocity, metal jacketed Pb.
If Republicans lose seats and they make it more difficult for Trump , its every conservative voters responsibility. The big donors will keep away because Trump may have given tax break but not good on other policies that are hurting them .
If Dems win , it’ll be open borders, more jihadi immigration (OIC lobbyists will fund most dem candidates).
Left/Liberals can only destroy countries like this Left/Liberal utopia http://tinyurl.com/yavxfl4m
…where its Gun Free , govt terrorises citizens and they hunt cats and dogs for food !
Shouldn’t there be a crescent and stars in there somewhere?
Immigration, legal and illegal, has dramatically changed demographics in Texas,along with leftists controls on their public education. it is expected to turn blue in the near future with many counties already shifted. Meanwhile Republicans are suckered (or secretly supportive of flat out stupid) by false poling and the media representation of “popular” sentiment into compromising on strict immigration enforcement and allowing immigration laws intended as a replacement strategy to continue. The Republican party fails to defend the American heritage and culture,and those advocates that wish to preserve it. The duplicity of the Republicans rivals the Democrats. McCain ran on a very tough immigration and repeal Obamacare platform his last election without anybody seriously examining his record, and then immediately joined the gang of 8 and cast the deciding vote to protect Obamacare. And yet his constituents flocked to his funeral blind to his betrayals.
Texas is turning purple. Illegals vote there.
Illegals vote everywhere, but even with the legal immigration, “diversity” birth rates and aging white demos have already set the border states on a nearly irreversible course, and independent studies a couple years ago predicted the Texas shift within a generation, and that is just the legal votes. I don’t know the legal situation there but Texas residents have told me that there is substantial unchecked cheating already happening. Here in CA the law encourages and hides illegal registration. I am confident that the estimates nationwide of 5 million in 16 barely covers CA. I hope we don’t find out it is already purple.
They illegals purposely take over the border towns to get more illegals in. The truth is it’s not about declining birth rates. We don’t need more people. It’s all about getting rid of our republic and making it into something else.
I have no doubt it is just a matter of time IF we don’t get illegal immigration under control and do the impossible and get MERIT based immigration with no chain migration in place. If that doesn’t happen we will be a third world country.
The major contradiction to the popular narrative is that studies 15-20 years ago showed that the need for more people via immigration or birth was over. That was an industrial age paradigm following an agricultural need for unlimited numbers. With automation and the tech age we need better skills and smarter people, not more labor. Big biz just wanted to suppress wages for all labor and the left wanted replacement and the beat goes on. Another conscious suppression is why big tech looks outside the country for cheaper tech help, not to mention their indentured status. Some decline in birth rates was entirely a natural response to new economic realities. However in CA and some people in Texas tell me that in lower levels of the public schools the white kids are overwhelmed by the Latinos and the demographic studies confirm it, and they are not raised to think the same as the originals and the educators are working overtime to demean American heritage. The solution will be a little more complicated and disruptive because we have already imported large numbers of groups that simply can’t contribute to the modern technological society. Culture and IQ matters.
Actually, it’s the combination of illegal immigration PLUS the invidious culture of abortion on demand and artificial birth control which has directly contributed to such atrocities from Casey Anthony’s 2008 murder of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, to the recent case of James Currie throwing his 7-month-old son into the East River where the baby’s body was found several weeks ago, and also Chris Watts’ murder of his wife and two daughters; and has also contributed to an untenable situation of a birth replacement rate of 1.9 children per family which is unsustainable for the continuation of a society unto future generations, plus more whites dying off than being born in 26 states (and the white population in general declining), and the added insult of the leftist media sadistically rubbing their hooves with glee at the prospect of whites becoming a minority in their own country.
How the devil can illegals vote there is proper rules are in place and laws exist? It seems that America is rotting at the seems and goof people need to fight back.
I live here and vote here and they check my ID every time I vote, so I think illegals voting is not as widespread in Texas as many think. This state is NOT purple and we despise the illegal situation that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT has forced on us. WE don’t want these illegal people here and I would as soon send them to Vermont so they can pay for their BS.
Trump needs to visit Texas and give a rally for Ted Cruz.
Trump is planning on coming to Texas. I just read ( forget where ) that they are reserving the largest stadiums/venues in Texas for HUGE rallies.
Correct … direct Illegal voting is ‘nominal’ … meaning it’s important if the race if VERY tight, but it’s not going to turn an election with more than a 1% margin.
OTOH: Texas does have – by my estimate, which I think is better than any ‘studies’ – about a million Illegals or more who came here with California Drivers’ Licenses and began ‘legal’ residents and ‘citizens’ by virtue of phony paperwork. This is based on my 2+ years as a pro-bono attorney dealing with many hundreds of Latin families, and running background checks and the like on their docs. My results don’t match any ‘study’ out there – and my results are VERY alarming.
But I don’t think that is so important – as much as the Fake Voting. Texas has many districts dominated by Latin residents, both legal and illegal, and I guarantee the Dept of Elections officials in these districts are corrupt and will be voting for many of these residents.
So – although real American voters can overwhelm the system, the Democrats have people in the Tx SOS Division of Elections who will vote for any Democratic candidate even if no one shows up at the polls.
We have to disabuse ourselves of the notion that the polling records that we sign when we vote are any impediment to voting here in Texas. Those records are meant to control how many Texans vote, where they vote, and to prevent them from voting more than once. They have no impact on the tally of the vote, and to date, I’m not sure anyone has audited them at all.
BTW – I have met many Democratic leaders in the Dallas area – and while I have yet to hear any confessions that my suspicions and calculations are true …
I have had several of them Laugh, Smirk, and make Condescending Comments that would imply that THEY believe my suspicions are true. Certainly THEY think their team is committing voter fraud – and that’s why they will do anything to stop any effort to audit the voter rolls or reform the system.
Just my humble opinion, but I’d put my guesses up against any Leftist ‘poll’ or ‘study’ anytime.
Good. Glad to hear from you, Sparks.
Right, Felix. Not to mention refugees from California and other failing economies in the USA. They do not understand why those economies are failing, they just stampeded for greener pastures in Texas.
Unless true Texans wake up (those who do not have any inclination to be their brother’s keeper), the green pastures will be trampled into mud.
There’s more than one kind of undesirable immigration.
Te Cruz is another GOPe that has done nothing to help Trump. Trump is gracious….he puts the country first over petty politics and will be holding a rally for DisTrusTed. Yes, Ted, we did “vote our conscience”, sore loser and voted in Trump!
Ted Cruz has fought the good fight against muslums and islum practically all by himself in the Senate. I don’t think there’s one senator who’s worth half what Ted Cruz is.
What accomplishment does Ted have to his name on Islam?
What legislation was passed? Name something!
Ted is just allot of talk….. If he is so brilliant why is he hiding it? Why doesn’t he help Trump?
Ted Cruz is ultra-conservative.
Trump is a Hillary Clinton supporter .
There is nothing establishment about Ted Cruz.
Cruz was on the right side of the draw Muhammad contest, Trump was on the left.
O’Rourke is undoubtedly getting lots of contributions from muslums. Ted Cruz is a confirmed islamofauxb and he better be watching out for mass voter fraud being committed by the Dem0rat party in his district.
Cruz isn’t running in a district he’s a US Senator he’s running state wide.
Then he’s doomed. Dem0rat voter fraud will unseat him.
I hope I’m wrong. I’m sorry to see your friend the magical girl is gone.
We re dealing with a dangerous cult, mediated by the Democrat party. In the pursuit of power, we have a bunch of cultists who will play on the resentments of people they think they can manipulate. This cult has a satanic component since their Sun Tzu dedicated a book to the devil. It is important that we do not give power to lunatic idiots who scream at the sky as their Auntie fascists.attack anyone in their grasp, including their sounding boards in the drive by media.
Even though Ted Cruz has his faults, ANY Republican is far better than a DERANGED DEMONCRAP!
Under a Demoncrap you’ll get your wealth taken away and your taxes will go through the roof.
Government service will be made to overwhelm you, there will be an increase in size and a decrease in service. In short, your life will become miserable and almost unlivable. (Demoncrap goal). You’ll question what you are living for?
Ever see what socialist have done to Venezuela? I notice the leaders are NICE and FAT and look well-fed. BUT the people lost an average of 24 lbs each.
Same with North Korea. The leader is the only FAT GUY around. Him and his wife. The rest look STARVED.
CORRECTION: “Any Republican is LESS BAD than a deranged Demoncrap.” (with the exception of loathsome RINOs like the now-departed McCain aka “Juan McRino,” Collins, Rubio, the fruity Graham, etc., all of whom are socialists in Repugnican garb)
Those bozos are part of the Democrat branch of the Republican Party. The truth is they’re a bunch of cowardly hyenas. If they think Trump is wounded they’ll start drooling and jump in to bring him down. However the stronger Trump is the more likely they will pretend to be allies. At that point they’re somewhat neutralized and better than a Democrat member of the misnamed “resistance”.
Is the glass half empty or half fool kind of thing?
Hey, I like that “Repugnicans”. Might use that in the future. Better than “Retardicans.” Might call them “Rupugnicants”. maybe?
Demoncraps and Repugnicants. Sounds good! 😉
This article is entirely correct. Cruz is a big name Republican senator so perhaps they didn’t take this sloppy, little commie seriously enough. Yes, Texas is a “Red State”, but one with lots of electoral votes that the Dems have targeted, especially during the Commisar Obumer years. Obumer made a huge effort to import hordes of Muslims into Texas and illegal aliens have been pouring in year after year and they all vote. In addition liberals from “Blue” states attracted by the climate and the lack of a state income tax have relocated to Texas importing their loyalty to the Democrat Party (that created the mess that they fled from). Then there are areas like Austin that are as liberal as anything you’d find in New York or California.
Cruz has pissed off the Koch brothers and the Chamber of Commerce types because he supports our country having secure borders so those skunks will be happy to be rid of him and will make it hard for him to get financial support for his campaign.
Even if you don’t live in Texas donate to Ted Cruz’s campaign.
I totally despise Ted Cruz but Texans need to vote him back in. He is better than a DEM but not by much.
Let’s not get too carried away… Ted was he VISA king under GWB. Ted immediately went to Goldman Sachs Never Trumper meeting when he lost the primary.
Ted never had to worry about Obamacare. He gets his medical coverage from Heidi who has a great position at Goldman Sachs. Speaking of Goldman Sachs…“Sweetheart, I’d like us to liquidate our entire net worth, liquid net worth, and put it into the campaign,” he says he told his wife, Heidi, who readily agreed. LOL!!!!!! This lie was made easier by a large loan from Goldman Sachs, where Mrs. Cruz works. That loan was not disclosed in campaign finance reports. Do you normally forget about a low interest million dollar loan used to finance a political campaign? Another political loan from Citibank was not disclosed to the Federal Election Commission either.
He is such an under handed POS. How he would go after electorial votes after Trump won the state was disgusting. No one should ever want someone like this in a serious position of power such as President. He may not realize it but any chance of eve becoming President are OVER. I’l stop here….I could go on and on with specifics showing how disgusting Cruz is. He is not what he pretends to be.
Well, go, vote for Communists or Democratic Socialists, as they call themselves today.
I like Cruz and I support him. I had already had a doubtful privilege to live under the socialist, communist, or whatever- you -want- to call it yoke.
Any of those young people that support socialism that badly, should be given one-way tickets to Cuba, Venezuela or North Korea – and made to stay there for the rest of their lives.
Yes I recall all of that nasty history. Thanks for jogging my memory. I had on going battles with Cruz supporters where I mentioned those very issues. However that was then and this is now. It was a hard fought battle for the nomination and Cruz was the only competitor to actually have any success against Trump. At one point it was a bare knuckles, rules out of window street fight. Trump crushed Cruz and first as he licked his wounds he smarted in pain and vindictive refusing to endorse Teump at the convention. Soon though Cruz awakened to reality and understood that Trump was implementing a great conservative agenda and I’m sure Cruz also realized that only Trump had the ability to beat the Deep State and win the election. He has since become an important ally of Trump. Look even Lindsey Graham has come around, we need to keep Cruz in the Senate. Trump has made a believer out of so many who had originally opposed him. Only true lunatics on the Republican side like Ben Ass and the unfunny Billy Crystal still openly oppose him ( while snakes like Paul Ryan and others of his ilk are still backstabbing).
Cruz? If he had been nominated, he would beaten Hillary Clinton with ease.
Ted Cruz has a ninety-seven percent conservative score.
Your post is full of moronic lies.
I’m from New York and I give financial support to Ted Cruz. Everybody should. The amount doesn’t matter, even small donation add up.
IMO Not a chance.
Senator Cruz MUST be in trouble if the president has to come in to bail him out.
Just HOW did this O’Rourke get this far?
Please wake up Republicans across the country, this is not the only race where this is happening.
I smell the stink of Soros and Clinton Foundation/slush fund.
President Trump is supporting virtually every Republican in every race. he is even coming to S Dakota where one Dem is running. President Trump is ALL IN for all Republicans running.
O’Rourke’s DWI report is out everywhere, including the car crash and his attempt to flee the scene. He’s a scumbag.
A combination of factors besides your points and what is in the article. I can name a few others: Quite a few in that state are easily distracted, extremely fickle, and have very short memories, not being able to put two and two together in terms of the connection between leftist Democrat rule and a permanently scoliotic, osteoporotic economy and a society with accelerated moral decay and cultural rot. Also, the number of young people who have been totally indoctrinated into leftist/Commie zombies has gone through the roof, having come of age during Obama’s pathetic excuse for a Presidency which not only was defined by such a weak economy, but also his totalitarian overreach in all areas. Both in terms of this period, and in relation to 1984.
Keep the w3tbacks from voting, and Cruz wins.
no
“Ted Cruz is the best Senator that the GOP has”…
Which is why he’s fighting both the Left and the Fake Right. … Much as he may seem like a squish to the Puritans, he is one of the best pro-American Senators we have, and the Big Left and the Big Fake Right want to destroy him.
Meanwhile back at the farm – Cruz himself is Too Much of a Squish. Ted has got to get out and fire up his base – and he needs to go to the large Latin community and DEMAND that they turn out for him or Go Back to Mexico.
Polls – I would not believe them. And that cuts both ways.
Latins – especially Mexicans – will vote for any Democrat: Because they are actually racist and bigoted. In addition to being illiterate and uneducated. How many of these folks have any of us talked to? I’ve interviewed hundreds as a pro-bono attorney – and that’s just the victims of illegal violence – not the perps. They are so hostile because Spanish Mainstream Media feds them a load of bull that would make Goebbels proud. These morons really do not think we will deport them – they think we will gas them. They are convinced ‘Whitey’ is nothing more than a race of Nastie concentration camp guards waiting for an opportunity. The fact that many cannot read – and only get this crap from Spanish media or rehashed from their relatives who can read Spanish only makes it worse: They do not know anything true about previous deportations nor previous migrations across our border.
To this group we can add Fake Citizens imported from California because Obama did such a great job improving the economy out there we took in about a million plus of ’em over his reign of error …
I bring this up – b/c these are the only SIZEABLE HEARTBEATS VOTING LEFT.
In Other Words… THE LEFT DOES NOT HAVE THE VOTES. So what the Heck is Going On? The polls are FAKE, BUT … that does NOT mean we can rest on our laurel.
The Texas State government – like most – is dominated by Democrats. And if you have a Republican, it’s likely to be a RINO sitting at the top who has never spent ten minutes in a ‘cube’ much less a decade.
What’s going on – They plan to vote FAKE votes. This is by far the most powerful – and understudied – method of voter fraud in the country. It is the reason the vote is always ‘close’ – and sometimes exceeds registered voters or even living voters.
Left-wing “turn out” when measured against population will be astronomical – and this is how we know it’s fake. In a special election in small community like mine, the Left can really overwhelm the Normal People With Jobs, but in a November election – or even a regular primary – they cannot do it. They do not have the HEARTBEATS .. but they do have the pulse of the ballot box.
That’s why the borders are open AND the voter rolls are not audited. If the vote came down ONLY to living Americans we would overwhelm them. They are only 20% of the population – maybe 30% in Left-leaning areas and 40% in the Bubble Zones on the Left Bicoasts.
Hard-core ‘hater, racist, bigot monsters’ aka: Normal People who are pro-American and anti-violence, are 40% of the population, and a whole lot more than that in Texas.
H.E.Dbl Hockey sticks – I convinced many of my Gay Democratic Texan neighbors to vote for Rombama in 2012, and Trump in 2016 … so this is NOT impossible. BUT …
Texas needs a landslide of Heartbeats – LIVING VOTERS – to overwhelm the polls and prevent the Democratic Voter Fraud machine from stealing the election.
Just rantin’….

Obviously to KFreedom, anybody to the left of the Tea Party is a far leftist.
As a native Texan, displaced to California, I was appalled when I read some Twitter comments, supposedly posted by Texans (though, who knows, since the Democrats are “tremendously savvy on social media” and know trolling).
The nasty language, stupid statements and overall mean-girl attitude sent me right to the Ted Cruz donate button. I can only spare a drop for the bucket, but maybe I can rustle up some more. If Cruz loses, it will help pay the debts.
Let me add, I had not heard about Trump’s plans for campaigning for Cruz. Who would want to vote for a person supported by those tweety-birds on Twitter? Besides nasty, stupid, mean-girls.
You have to be concerned about what comes after Trump. It will be a die-hard socialist or a RINO, almost as bad, because the Deep State wants to retain power even if it destroys the country. The RINOs want Trump gone as much as the Marxist Dems. The entire DC Swamp needs to be gone and that will require a civil revolution hosted by the citizens if this country.
