Texas Trump Voter Has Terrible News For Ted Cruz: I’m Voting For Beto O’Rourke Because Trump’s Rallies Are ‘Absolutely Insane’
Well played, young man.
By Ela SHERBORNE


A regretful Trump voter told MSNBC on Tuesday that he had decided to vote for Democratic Senate nominee Beto O’Rourke because President Donald Trump’s rhetoric had become “absolutely insane.”

Reporting from a polling place in Houston, Texas, MSNBC’s Vaughn Hillyard spoke to one “conservative” voter about how Trump’s rallies had influenced his vote.

“Even last night, the president talking about how that caravan coming into the United States is infiltrated with MS-13 members and, I don’t know, like, ISIS operatives or something — just absolutely insane,” the man said, shaking his head.

“I just hope people understand that they’re not going to come and just break down the doors and start wreaking havoc,” the man added. “I just don’t want people to vote based off of misinformation or a misconception about what’s actually going to happen.”

I have a nightmare: an epidemic of sanity roiling the electorate here in the Lone Star State as voter after voter returns to his or her senses and coldly, rationally begins to examine the candidates running in thisyear’s election to see if their political positions represent their interests or those of their loved ones. The epidemic spreads like the flu: in clusters, then crowds, and nothing, no talk radio, no right-wing cable news network, no televangelists’ fulminations can stop the spreading contagion.

I hope I don’t wake up and find that it was only a bad dream.
