Wasn’t Cruz the most hated senator at one time? Just run someone pro 2nd amendment and you’ve got him beat.
He’s extremely hated by the rest of the country, and deservedly so, but for some reason that may or may not be dark sorcery, big parts of Texas still love him to the point that he’s almost literally unbeatable.
Doesn’t help that most polling places in predominantly democrat-leaning neighbourhoods have been closing over the last few decades of corrupt GOP control (but I repeat myself) either, of course.
Dems do everything in their power to sabotage themselves in certain races. All beto had to do was not mention taking away guns and he would have won, hands down.
It almost feels on purpose…
Can’t have too big a majority, or you might have to do something you ran on.
He still is. He won by the skin of his teeth in off-year elections due to three factors:
- Lots of Conservative Californians moving to Texas who voted for him, but who didn’t know better.
- Beto made that public gaffe about taking people’s guns away.
- Off-year elections have lower turnout.
He is up for reelection during a presidential election, those Conservative Californians are now moving to Florida, and his opponent(s) is unknown. He should feel worried.
He still is. No one in the Senate can stand him, including his allies.
