    There is not much that would make me vote for a dem, but that may just do it!
    Not even Kanye in the Oval Office and your preference just dismissing it? How’s Ted feeling about Saudi and their complicity in 9/11? Texas tough until it comes to compromised principles around oil and arms. Hoo ha, all hail bush.
    Triggered?
    No, I just think it’s hilarious the Cruz calls himself “Texas Tough” when he got walked all over by Team Trump Treason during the primaries, is basically wearing knee pads for him now and hasn’t said squat about kids being separated from their parents and the Saudis blatantly murdering a journalist. But then again, you repubs think journalists are the enemy anyway so I guess you’re “winning.” Great candidate and party to stand behind. Woot USA, USA, USA. Tough as Texas.

    Was out on my Saturday bike ride and stopped at a cafe to pick up some food for later, and saw a guy wearing a Beto shirt. The Beto wave has wide ripples.

    I'm sure he did.  And now is using it to his political advantage.  As I said, smart.  Because if I'm latino and I see a sign that say Beto I would associate with it.  Versus Robert O'Rourke which conjures up an image of the old white guy that trained Rocky in the first few movies.
  • oftenreadingoftenreading Posts: 12,845
    Been called Beto by his family since birth, apparently. But don’t let that stop the ignorant comments. 

    Hey, guess who speaks Spanish fluently? Hint - it’s not the other guy in this race going by his nickname.

    i've got no skin in this race.  don't care who wins.  i'm just making a simple observation on a decision that his campaign spent many hours deliberating on.  Think about it.  Is there anyway someone named Robert O'Rourke wins a race in Texas?

    C’mon man, how do you think Ted Cruz would answer the question, “is it acceptable for an individual to masturbate and to artificially stimulate ones genitals?” With the cameras rolling. He’s as hypocritical as they come!

    C’mon man, how do you think Ted Cruz would answer the question, “is it acceptable for an individual to masturbate and to artificially stimulate ones genitals?” With the cameras rolling. He’s as hypocritical as they come!
    Is this the best you guys can come up with?  C’mon man...zzzzzzzzzz  
    Do we really need to go into his policy positions? C’mon, get woke, man.

    Which policies of Robert do you think are “winners”?  I do not align with hardly any of his stances.  Convince me, a pro-lifer, 2nd Amendment supporter (like a great number of Texans) why I should vote for “Beto”?  I mean, he’s great at air drums and all, but that’s not enough.

    Did I read about a dildo ban in this thread and goofball Cruz supported it?
     
    Bwahahahaha. Wtf is wrong with people? Scared of a dildo? And people in here will vote for that spineless weasel? Lol, good lord. A fucking dildo ban, is the apocalypse here yet? I want a front row seat 
    You got all caught up in “fake news” again ;)

    Yes, looks like Cruz didn’t have much choice with his role in that case.  

    And clearly now the right will admit they’re wrong about Hillary Clinton “freeing a child rapist”, given that the circumstances are virtually the same. Right?

    As solicitor general he has some decision making power... and he chose to pursue the case

    Or of course he's a typical spineless attorney that was more than willing to represent something he didnt support

    Either way he's a clown

    Dildo ban... lol holy shit... remind me to never visit Texas, it's worse than I thought... bunch of lame ass prudes 

    Guns good, dildo bad LOL

    So you are saying Snopes is “fake news”?  Or only accurate when it aligns with your ideals?  Dildos are far from being illegal in TX, and TX is not alone in having ridiculous laws “on the books” from the past that are really just ignored and not enforced.

    Hey, guess who speaks Spanish fluently? Hint - it’s not the other guy in this race going by his nickname. 
    i've got no skin in this race.  don't care who wins.  i'm just making a simple observation on a decision that his campaign spent many hours deliberating on.  Think about it.  Is there anyway someone named Robert O'Rourke wins a race in Texas?
    I am always amused when people call out Robert "Beto" O'Rourke but not Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz.

    Yeah. Beto definitely played the long game. He’s been planning for the Hispanic vote since infancy.

    But, you know, Texas. They seem to prefer someone who is universally disliked, even by his own team, over someone progressive.

    I don't agree with your observation/interpretation. He has always gone by Beto - it's not a tactic or him using it to his advantage. If it somehow works to his advantage, but there was no decision to use it to his political advantage.

    Is Beto a common Latino name? I know that Berto is, but Beto?
