He has a good chance ...Cruz is disliked by most in congress and is a known liar. He is also about as arrogant as anybody can imagine

There are reports that grown men are posing as children. There are too many horrific possibiliti s for these kids removed from theor protective parents.

She said the tents are going up. It's hot, been triple digits for days. She said the local news reported the tents are air conditioned. She doesn't believe it. She only believes O'Rourke. She wishes she could march.
