He is an avatar of the Republican Party's very soul... or would be if they had one.

but as an illustrator I can't help it. The first time I saw Cruz I told my friend he lloked like Grandpa Munster and Paul Ryan looked like Eddie Munster. Doesn't the GOP have any non Munsters in their ranks or is that a stupid question?

Different show, same idea.

Yvonne De Carlo was a beautiful,talented lady. sara not so much.

Love Yvonne.

Says Sarah looks like Uncle Fester in drag. Showed me side by side pictures, he was right.

as the eyes. On second thought, Fester was more appealing. Maybe if she smiled once in a while she could be closer to resembling Uncle Fester. Someone should put a rag in her foul mouth instead of a light bulb for starters.

would be scared and run away. She reminds me of a mean Mack Truck barreling down on someone.

Just like John Kennedy of Louisiana, who gets an inordinate amount of attention from MSM.

Ted Cruz became a big cheese here because he took out David Dewhurst, the a Lieutenant Governor who had hoped to replace retiring Republican Denator Kay Bailey Hutchison. Dewhurst is no liberal, but he wasn’t part of the Texas Republican Party’s far right. Unfortunately for Dewhurst, 2012 was a year the Texas Republican Party’s right wing was running strong and Dewhurst lost.

Unfortunately for Texas and the rest of the country, all too many qualified Texas citizens sat on their hands and didn’t vote, all too many Texas voters had gotten it into their heads that they could only vote Republican, and Paul Sadler, admittedly the sort of sacrificial lamb the state Democratic Party nominated when the state’s Democratic PTB’s think they’re going to lose, and Cruz won.

Admittedly Paul Sadler hadn’t been active for several years before he got nominated, but I still believe that Texas and the USA as a whole would have been far better off if Texas voters had voted their self interests and sent Paul Sadler to the Senate in 2012.

IMO, Beto might be the first Democrat state-wide in ages who is rousing Democrats and real centrists from their decades-long lethargy that allowed the Republicans to misrule for so long.

And being a Tea Party darling.

Other than that, it doesn't have anything to do with Texas and everything to do with the US Senate/Tea Party/Freedom Caucus etc.

has a ton of yard signs all over the place. I don't know if that is any sort of barometer as far as election outcomes go but they seemed to think it is a good sign (no pun intended).

And things like that.
He's trying to humanize himself.
Ahead of the election.

thanks, I needed that.

I heard (not corroborated) that someone on the Cruz campaign initially decided that yard signs were not important, so no money was set aside for those. Then, Beto signs started popping up everywhere, and suddenly we have Cruz signs.

I know that in my mostly rural and very red county, we are passing out Beto signs like crazy. This really does feel different.

I know that the GOP had to finally give him part of the remaining funds left for candidates' campaigns since he wasn't raising as much as Beto has. The GOP has had to choose who to give money to more carefully since they are running out due to so many close races.
