Texans aren't liking what Cruz stands for. He's backing a criminal in the White House who is tied to Russia and putin and their money and fixing a election ,and Texans aren't liking liars and corrupt criminals, and Ted's got a huge problem , especially if he's involved with taking russian money too. Nobody lies that much that isn't corrupt too.Cruz is the most hated person in all of Congress for a good reason, and HE will vote to destroy Social Security just like he's voted to destroy both Medicaid and Medicare, and take that money and gave it to the super wealthy. Cruz is a fraud, and protects criminals like the one in the oval office now. He says nothing about putin hurting Democracy and our elections here. Cruz needs to go, he can't ever be trusted. Lies too much.

Yesterday I spoke with Beto at a town hall in Goliad, Texas. A local food truck was selling "Beto Burgers". I decided to have one and it was very good.

So I guess Cruz is saying Beto is our top pick (he already was)

Whatever may be said about former Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, once in a great while she’d vote for something that would benefit the average Texan

What we’ve got now is an incumbent who spent most of his time tacking Far right to run for President and done little or nothing to protect the interests of those Texans whose net income is less than one million dollars a year.

Ted “Nothingburger” Cruz

Too Reckless for Texas!

BASTA!

From the Houston paper https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/texas/article/Ted-Cruz-Beto-O-Rourke-Whataburger-spicy-ketchup-13144032.php?utm_campaign=fb-desktop&utm_source=CMS+Sharing+Button&utm_medium=social

Whataburger seems to inject itself into just about any conversation about Texas, so it was only a matter of time before the fast-food chain was dragged into the state's politics.

Ted Cruz's campaign issued a statement to the Star-Telegram on Thursday concerning the likeness of Beto O'Rourke's campaign logo and Whataburger's spicy ketchup.

As many social media users have pointed out, both black and white designs share some similarities.
