Beto O'Rourke: The Democrat launching a surprisingly strong challenge against Ted Cruz

All opinions are welcome.

No. All opinions can be given. They do not and will not be welcome. Rat Commie DU filth that some people post here comes to mind.

Not interested in your welcome.  Just so long as you read and respond.   Cruz can win this fall, but don't kid yourself that it is going to be easy.

It's going to be easy as shit. Your pals pulled out all the stops for this Primary and they came up half a million votes short of Cruz. Beatoff mined all the votes he could in Leftist areas and it was still an embarrassment. What exactly is going to change that in November? Not a thing.

[Jazzhead]

If you say so.   But pride goeth before a fall.  You slam "my pals",  that is, fellow Republicans,  thinking Cruz won't need their support.

I hope Cruz isn't as stupid and full of hubris as you.

Mathematically explain to me how Beatoff is going to get anywhere near a win in that state? What districts can he flip in his column that he missed last night? We just saw a test run of his support and he came up empty, and not by a little. Beatoff has about as good a shot of taking Ted's seat as a GOP'er has of taking DiFi's seat in Cali. Some things are just too preposterous to bother debating.

Point well taken.

Cruz supporters like Red State and Glenn Beck ought to be called backstabbers and phonies.

Cruz campaigns with Trump, Cruz has alliance with Trump, Cruz pushes Trump's agenda, Cruz praises Trump appointees, but supporters like the above exploit Cruz for their own ends and say nasty things about Trump,  if Beck and Red State had their way, we would have Hillary, more ISIS, lack of solving issues, a dormant economy and then, these clowns bully others to try to think there way, they are absolute nonsense, I support Cruz but not the bullying cult of some supporters who strike out at anyone who might do like Cruz and support the president, they are total hypocrites; places like Red State don't take a lot of comments for their articles, just their select few, so really they censor others.

You know this whole mantra of yours that if you don't support Trump you're a backstabber is just as much of a lie and a false narrative as the rest of the crap you post on here lately.

Not sure what you're on...but yo might want to think about rehab.

As I Liberal Democrat I wouldn't expect you to understand just how Cruz got to where he is without the help and quite to the dismay of the GOP establishment.

Perhaps you should break away from your PP...SPLC and Everytown newsletters and do a little reading about how he got to D.C.

It wasn't easy the first time either. Yet there he is despite all the GOP money that was tossed out against him and for his challenger in the 2012 primary.

Cruz stupid??  Jazz, I really think before you continue to open your mouth and insert your foot you do a little research on the man.  He not only is very highly educated, he has been blessed with an audiographic memory.

Secondly, I would encourage you to read his autobiography entitled "A Time for Truth, Reigniting the Promise of America".  Not only will it give you some insight into his struggle and brilliant ground game to getting into the Senate against all odds, but it will also give you some insight into why he is so passionate about what he does, his warm personality and above all his integrity!  I was so impressed and captivated by the book that I read the book in one day; I couldn't put it down.  Go ahead. Educate yourself.  You might be surprised.

And before you open your mouth,  LB, I wish you'd read what I wrote. I did not call Cruz stupid.  I said I hoped he wasn't as stupid and full of hubris as Frank Cannon in assuming this will be an easy race and that he can afford to alienate fellow Republicans.   That is, of course, a low bar, and I am confident that Cruz is self-aware and smart enough to recognize his strengths and limitations as a politician. 

Secondly, I would encourage you to read his autobiography entitled "A Time for Truth, Reigniting the Promise of America".  Not only will it give you some insight into his struggle and brilliant ground game to getting into the Senate against all odds, but it will also give you some insight into why he is so passionate about what he does, his warm personality and above all his integrity!  I was so impressed and captivated by the book that I read the book in one day; I couldn't put it down.  Go ahead. Educate yourself.  You might be surprised.

I have the utmost respect for Sen. Cruz;  he is a brilliant man with integrity.   I said above that I would vote for him for Senator if I were a Texan.   I also said that I think he would be a magnificent choice for the SCOTUS.   But I also will say  - and I am hardly alone in doing so -  that he is not an easy or conventional sell to the general public as a candidate for elected office.   He is not (for a professional politician) conventionally warm and likeable and has a habit of making enemies and not giving a damn when he does.    In my posts above I was intending to provide constructive criticism and a warning to not go off half-cocked that this election is in the bag.   Cruz has a target on his back and there is a reason for that,  and Dems are this year especially motivated.   Cruz needs the full support of ALL factions of the GOP and Cruz is the one most responsible for making sure that occurs.

Again -  I hope that Cruz is successful in his re-election effort.   I was never a fan of his as a candidate for President,  but can easily support him as a U.S. Senator (or, hopefully, someday, as a member of the SCOTUS where I think his talents would really shine.)

Good morning, @Jazzhead.  I see the snow is not interfering with your ability to misinterpret.   

[Jazzhead]

Good morning, @Jazzhead.  I see the snow is not interfering with your ability to misinterpret.

And pray tell what did I misinterpret?   

And the snow isn't affecting me because I'm flat on my back.  Fell down a flight of stairs a couple of days ago and severed my quad.   Until I can get repaired, I'm a heap of bones who can't work and have nothing better to do than bother the good folks here.

Severed?  That's awful, Jazz!  We may have out disagreements, and they may get ugly, but I am sending you my prayers and good wishes to help get you back on your feet soon...

Sounds painful.  I hope you get better soon.

   Take care of yourself @Jazzhead, that can be a season ending injury, just ask Kawhi Leonard of the Spurs.

Thanks, CL - I appreciate it.  I'm in a full leg brace with surgery scheduled for Monday.   I know you keep a list of the names I've called you, so add this one - I think you're a good guy.   

[Jazzhead]

Thanks,  Sanguine and corbe.

Good luck on Monday, may the Good Lord work his will through the Orthopod surgeon's hands.  I'd say "break a leg" but that's probably not appropriate...

@Jazzhead

Oh my...Boy I hope you feel better and not in a lot of pain..

Thanks, Myst.  Right now I'm more bored than in pain.   And I sure wish I could drive and get me a good cheeseburger.

I don't normally see anything you post but since others quoted you I also want to wish you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
