No, but I think the dynamics are a tad different this time.  Add the fact I wonder how much of the trashy mud slinging by DJT in '16 stuck

Yes, that last part worries me too.  Even some folks here still buy into all of that.

Beto has the press on his side, that's how. All of his appearances are covered like the Second Coming.

Was Abortion Barbie treated any differently by them?

No, and I saw bumper sticker for in other states, which I found odd.

My concern as well.
Republicans who bought into that stay home.
I hope not.

Beto brought the house down today at the Summit Club In Longview. Standing room only , over 800 people! Beto really gave a powerful message today regarding teachers & his plan to increase their pay & lower their insurance costs!

Not No but hell No!

Realistically, Cruz will win. If I had to predict now, I would guess by 6-8 points.

However, in politics nothing is assured. So don't take anything for granted.

I assure you if it's anywhere close boxes of ballots will be found in car trunks (CAR TRUNKS, in Texas?!?!?!).  They'll break about 90% for one party.

True, I know of very few guys who drive cars.  P/U Trucks are mandatory here.

I actually haven't had a truck in years. I'm picking up my new small sized SUV today that I've had on order for months and months.

I really would like to get a truck again but the prices are going through the roof. A Ford F150 nicely equipped now costs more than a luxury European crossover SUV.

That emblem can tack on $15K to the price. F150 Texas Edition- $55K. http://www.vernonautogroup.com/new/Ford/2018-Ford-F-150-b05bd37d0a0e0ae803cbc8651bd280bc.htm

Love my Titan, even though I did go through some initial ribbing for having a Japanese P/U truck.

Seriously?

From the article of this thread:

O'Rourke's visit came during a sweep of all 254 counties in Texas over the past year. Many of the miles were clocked in a white Dodge Grand Caravan.

I have never bought anything except pickups. My 53 Willys jeep has a bed in it, so its a pickup too, right? And my 2 sons drive pickups. My daughter drives a jeep.
