Can Steemit help push Ted Cruz OUT of the Senate?

in #news7 years ago


Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has been outpaced in his fundraising efforts by Representative Beto O'Rourke (D-TX), who is likely to be Cruz's 2018 reelection opponent, in two consecutive quarters, but still leads O'Rourke $7.3 million to $4.6 million in total contributions

Dont think we are big enough to get anyone pushed out yet .

Texas seems to be trending more moderate, but count me in the "need to see it before I believe it" crowd when it comes to the Lone Star state.

No doubt, it will be a long process if it is to succeed...

As a Texan, I can say I fully endorse anyone who will challenge Cruz. He has no spine. Trump insulted him so much during 2016 and the inability of Cruz to stand up and defend his own character and family reflect poorly in my opinion. Texas deserves strong leadership and Ted Cruz is not able to deliver.

Well said and glad to hear it

He's a gutless, reprehensible sycophant - perfect GOP fodder.

During the STATE OF THE UNION the Democrats displayed a level of Partisan Politics that we haven't seen since the Democrats started the Civil War. Clearly they do not stand for America. Democrats refused to comply with anti-slavery and we had to fight a bloody war to get them back in line with America. Democrats refused to comply with Civil Rights in the South until the 1960's when the National Guard had to go into Schools and force the Democrats to comply with Civil Rights. Now Democrats refuse to obey our Immigration Laws. Which if history is any example, will not end until blood is spilled.
During the STATE OF THE UNION the Black Caucus refused to applaud or stand when the President announced the LOWEST AFRICAN AMERICAN UNEMPLOYMENT IN HISTORY. Shows their true colors, they don't give a rats ass about "Black" people. Partisan Politics and Power is all they care about.
So I ask, How on earth can anyone vote Democrat.

Total non-sequitur, but just to challenge one point, you do realize that "Dems were for slavery" is a ridiculous talking point since there was a party realignment since then and "Democrat" today has no connection whatsoever to the "Democrats" of the civil war era?

This is a strange non-sequitur, but I'll respond anyways. There's a lot I can't stand about Democrats, but when the alternative is the Iraq War-designing, recession-delivering, Wall Street-rewarding Republicans? Hard pass, thanks.

Great point. It’s very alarming that so many people are accepting this awful show of partisanship. Democrats are going down a path of hate and negativity. It is a threat to the entire concept of democracy.

Cruz is the Sultan of Smarm. That said, he's not going to lose to a Democrat in Texas in the year 2018.

who is ted cruz ?

He is an American politican, an attorney and also serving as a senator of the United states. He was nominated for the president's republican nomination two years ago.

Actually Donald J Trump was the one Nominated. Cruz was a Candidate for the Nomination.

Oh... Thanks for the correction

He's a blobfish in human form that managed to become a Senator from one of the largest states in America. ;)

I bet he will scale through it with the right strategy

The guy is a strong figure, he will find a way out

Eheh... I bet he will.. He won't just sit idle when they are certain trends to follow..

politics is very unpredictable, ordinary people can not know friends and opponents

It's funny, I hear all the same things, but I've no idea what he's actually done to be hated by so many people. He lies and bullshits and cheats like most politicians, so what makes him even worse than that?

Hypocrisy...

as most Far RightWing nut cases are. The leftist is open as they come out and openly admit they are godless womanizers and depraved individuals.

The Right Wingers come off as the Moral Party and preach to everyone.

But then behind close doors they engage in depravity and immoral behavior.

Like I said "HYPOCRISY " No body likes a hypocrite

thanks sir for sharing the news
dtube is on of the best way to share the news
carry on dear

I don't think much of him tbh. But i think steemit community is quite big so its doable.

Thanks for this news blog update providing..... i appreciate this post. and i like this dtube channel. best of luck

Texas needs the better person of the two.

Maybe Beto should just continue with Trumps strategy of savaging Ted Cruz while also beating him on the issues. We already know he is Lyin Ted so it shouldn't be that difficult.

I am a Texan. I was BORN in Texas. I am an elderly white man that will be Thrilled to see the lying "Texas want to be" Ted Cruz, defeated. It's the evangelicals down here that is keeping us from going blue. I am embarrassed that we Texans can't do better than Louie Gohmert and Ted Cruz.

Do you blame him?

Sex is seemingly a drug, people get addicted and it can corrupt them. I don't think the porn industry is corrupting anyone, necessarily.
