You're on a roll, DC.

FWIW; I'm not however amazed that Cruz is polling ahead of Beto. But then again I don't place a lot of faith in polls especially after the Hilldawg poll in 2016 that had her with a ninety percent chance of winning!

I think most of the voters in Texas have seen through Beto’s fake “I’m a Latino like you” schtick. It’s almost as disingenuous as Elizabeth Warren’s Pocahontas scam. In the Internet age, you just don’t get away with that crap like you used to.

Okay, sock.

makes me feel like a superhero

And this is why Republicans are going to win in November. Keep at it libs.

Over the summer, President Donald Trump vowed to hold a “major rally” for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in “the biggest stadium in Texas we can find.”

What they eventually chose was about 94,000 seats short of the mark.

Trump’s Oct. 22 event for the senator he used to routinely mock as “Lyin’ Ted” will be held at the NRG Arena in Houston, which seats about 8,000. The Trump campaign told the Dallas News that no larger venues were available on that date.

That would presumably include Texas A&M University’s Kyle Field, home of the Aggies and the biggest stadium in Texas, with a capacity of more than 102,000.

I don't recall Beto ever trying to fake his heritage - pretty strange that anyone would think that from a guy named O'Rourke. He was called "Beto" from the time he was a little kid in El Paso - a common Spanish nickname for Roberto, Gilberto, and Alberto - besides, his grandfather was also named Robert.

But I get it though. There's certainly no one who appeals more to hispanics than Rafael Cruz. You know, despite being Canadian.

I thought it was brave of Rob to campaign with a Kennedy.

The Cruzes kill those mutherfluffers!

I'm sure that's exactly what Senor Beto wants you all of you to believe. Kinda like how Dowdy landed under withering sniper fire in Bosnia.

Irish kid just happens to have a Mexican nickname. Right.

What fucking difference does it make?

It doesn't. But if a guy was trying to fake his heritage, you'd think he'd start by changing his last name from O'Rourke.

He was a little kid in El Paso. Not a reach to think that he would have a nickname like Beto.

But Dowdy and shit....
