A story in honor of the #TexasSenateDebate:
My parents live in #EastTexas, in a district represented by one of the most conservative members of #Congress. However, my mom is one of the most liberal I know.
My parents live in #EastTexas, in a district represented by one of the most conservative members of #Congress. However, my mom is one of the most liberal I know.
After 39 years of marriage, my dad finally let my mom put a bumper sticker on the back of his pickup truck (b/c #Texas) that said "I vote for Democrats." @TexasYDs @scyd_texas @texasdemocrats @BGTX @SmithDems
A few months ago, my dad had to take his truck into the shop. While it was there, one of the workers scratched D-E-M-O-C off the sticker so it read "I vote for rats." Understandably, my mom (who is 71 & under 5 ft, but raised 6 daughters & terrifying when need be) was angry.
Here we go, yāall....š„ #BetoForTexas
Iām joining the broadcast about 30 minutes late, got stuck in traffic..š
Theyāre discussing legalization of cannabis. Beto gave a great answer about medicinal cannabis potentially being useful to stem the tide of the opioid epidemic. Cruz says Beto wants to legalize all narcotics and briefly harkens back to his sisterās drug overdose.
So Ted Cruz looks dumb shading @BetoORourke. I admit it makes me laugh that he thinks these things should turn voters off, but you know, this is not just the desperation of a say anything man (Trump Rally is really the sign) it's the kind of campaign that works with GOP base. 1/
Remember, this is a base that does not care about corruption & cupidity so long as you appoint the right judgesl. They don't care about child molesting if you can ban abortion. They care about social issues that reinforce homophobic white supremacist patriarchy 2/
So Ted is not bothering with policy issues because they don't care about policy issues. Cruz is showing countercultural Beto because they fear challenges to their cultural hegemony. It's silly, but it's not stupid. #BetoForTexas
As Texas Democrats attempt to win a major statewide contest for the first time in almost three decades, a new NBC News/Marist poll finds Democrat Beto OāRourke trailing Republican Sen. Ted Cruz by just four percentage points. nbcnews.com/politics/firstā¦
Take in consideration that this was only among registered voters and the margin of error is 3.8 percent. So, if you live in Texas, register to vote! And tell your friends in Texas to register, the deadline is October 9, 2018. #BetoForTexas votetexas.gov/register-to-voā¦
Virtually every @ColinAllredTX yard sign I see has a @BetoORourke yard sign next to it. Not a single one of the Pete Sessions signs Iāve seen around town has had a Ted Cruz sign next to it. People really dislike Ted Cruz. Even those who vote for him! (1/x)
This made me want to refresh my memory about 2012. Ted Cruz ran against David Dewhurst in the GOP primary, the ārealā election of 2012 Texas. Dewhurst received the most votes, but not over 50%. (2/x)
In the runoff, only 8.5% of eligible voters voted, and the lower the turnout, the more ideologically extreme the voters tend to be. Cruz got 57% of the vote. (3/x)
