The Blaze by Pat Gray 8/24/2018
Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz explained Thursday why the November midterm election is a pivotal time for Texas voters.
Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke hails from El Paso, Texas, and trails Cruz in the polls by 4 percentage points. O’Rourke is of Irish descent and his real name is Robert Francis O’Rourke. He said his Hispanic-sounding nickname is from his childhood and has stuck with him ever since.
During an exclusive interview with Pat Gray on Thursday, Cruz admitted that O’Rourke has managed to outpace him in fundraising and urged voters to turn out in Texas.
Cruz touched on the “blue wave†in Texas, the left’s infatuation with O’Rourke, and the Democrat’s radical beliefs on guns, taxes, immigration, and Israel.
“Tell us some of the main differences between you and his policies,†Pat said.
“Sure. Without exaggeration, there is no race in the country with a sharper difference between the candidates on substance, on record, on policy,†Cruz replied.
The senator then broke down O’Rourke’s positions issue by issue:
