Every election season you see threads on here about the turd losing, then somehow he pulls through.

I'm so sick of these rural voters and their ignorance.

Allread might not be a white guy from a long-established white Texas family, but in my opinion he came from a Texas tradition of large-than-life personalities that used to dominate Texas politics a couple of generations ago. We used to have a lot of those—in both parties (IMO Ann Richards was one of the last). I had thought that there were still enough Texas voters still out there who would respond to that to and give him the edge over do-nothing Cruz.

Abbott, Paxton, and the Republican Party are just as corrupt as Trump.

for giving it all that he had. Wish he'd pulled it off, but it was a long shot.

this would be the one.

I have no evidence, just a sense of what a low life creep Cruz is and he would stoop to anything.
