Ted Cruz Flops In Polls While Democratic Challenger Goes For The Jugular - Farron Balanced



Things are going from bad to worse for Republican Senator Ted Cruz as he watches his election chances start to slip away. Cruz is now only 2.1 percentage points ahead of his Democratic challenger Colin Allred, and that is within the margin for error in the latest poll. Allred isn't pulling any punches as he torches Cruz for everything from hiding during the Capitol Riot to fleeing Texas when they needed him the most. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

This morning the local tv news has short blurbs about VP Harris, tfg, Colin Allred, and Cancun Cruz.

The segment on Allred had a small snip of him talking. While on Cancun Cruz they read something he said.

Next I want to remind people what he did after. Just to get a photo opportunity he went to a radio station bbq tribute to local firefighters set up and paid by them. He wasn’t involved in it except he did get a few pictures of him serving some food. Then ate their bbq. He was worse than worthless there. He mooched food and tried his best stolen honor bit.
