With $2.4 million haul, Beto O'Rourke easily outraised Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to close out 2017

There goes $2.4 million down the drain.

If illegals can't vote, this guy doesn't have a chance.

I think Trump has gotten over his 'lyin' Ted' phase.

His followers ... not so much.

I can't be sure that Trump himself loves Ted now, especially if Trump is willing to compromise on illegal immigration and Ted is opposed.

As for Trump's fans, they are being told how they should feel about Ted, usually from the master himself.

There are always those dead voters in the cemetery.

One thing people should not do is take voters for granted down here. Many are picky and they will jump ship, especially if someone comes along who plays the Texan card and appears to be more connected to them. It wasn't that long ago Ann Richards was our governor, Lloyd Bensten was our Senator, Molly Ivins was our most famous pundit, and Willie Nelson is still our favorite musician.

I don't think Cruz has an issue yet, but it doesn't mean something can't change if the Dems suddenly get their heads out of their ass and pretend to pander to Texans. (ie act like Ann Richards instead of Wendy Davis).

Oh please.  Richards ran against Claytie-baby.  The fool would have been elected had he not refused to shake the bitch’s hand.

Ted is not going to lose this seat no matter how much money the lying, cheating libs pump into the Leprechaun in Vato’s clothing coffers.

You’re being ridiculous, but I assume you already know this.

Clayton Williams lost because he was joking with reporters about the rain when he said. ""If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it."

It wasn't rain - it was rape.

Yup I cringed when I read that back when he was running.

I'm no historian, but I can't recall anyone from El Paso ever being elected to a state wide office.

I love El Paso, lived there about 15 years, two of my three kids born there. Trust me, the rest of the state could give a rat's rear about El Paso.

Ted dominates North and South Texas, particularly the suburbs of Houston and Dallas.

He was on his way to winning, and of course, the Press couldn't pass up the opportunity he presented them.

Bet if Bill Clinton said it, you wouldn't have heard a peep about it.

[INVAR]

This excuse, IMO, is getting old.

No wrong.  It's NOT an excuse.

It's how your party and its leadership operates when confronted with a choice between a Constitutional Conservative who might threaten their gravy train and a liberal big government yes man.

Do you really need me to post links to the Republicans in D.C. who openly stated they would vote for the Democrat over the Republican candidate?

All of us in Midland were cheering for him to win.

There's probably still things the media saw Billy Jeff do and heard him say that they are covering up.

He was still ahead in the polls until the handshake or lack thereof.  Then the fool did not even know what the proposition was that he had just voted on.  The man was a complete idiot.  Cruz is not a complete idiot.  He will win providing the rats don’t pull a Judge Moore on him.  Then all bets are off as it has been proven that it can be successfully done.
