    Maybe the Cruz Campaign vis-a-vi Beto's is on to something, given that Cruz is quite possibly the most non-photo/telegenic person on the planet.

    Keep him in the dark and let the slime grow, Go Ted Go.

    Beto's best shot is high voter turnout. That will make the difference.

    I would wager the spread is greater.

    There are lots of Cruz voters who will not admit it to another human being, just like with the ididntvoteforhimbut(TM) Trump voters.

    Tried to go to his event today in The Woodlands at Papa's Ice House. No parking within a mile in each direction. Granted I didn't get there until right at the time it was supposed to have started...but there were still people walking in. It's not a small place and it's outdoors so there's a ton of space there.

    You could have parked at Legends Basketball and walked over to Papas...

    Looked like the gate was closed (they closed after Harvey). Also it's hot and I really didn't feel like walking as I was in work clothes. I'll be making a donation soon and have yard signs on the way for my dad and I.

    Dang, I thought I heard Legends was closed but figured it was open by now. My daughter played in tournaments there for years.

    Was under about 5' of water and they didn't have the insurance to cover the damages.

    One is loved in Texas the other is loved by Hollywood elites. I'll let the voters decide which is which

    I don’t think Ted Cruz is really “loved” anywhere.

    Ted likely still narrowly wins, but he better pray there isn’t a blue wave or he will be out of a job.

    The polls are close enough that a really high turnout or mild screw up likely is enough to give Beto the race.

    I'm struck by how many of Beto's supporters are from out of state. They are so eager to take the greatest state in the union and turn it into another democrat shithole.

    Cruz beat Trump is in Texas. He's more popular than the president.

    LOL... the local son candidate (despite being from Canada) versus a NY candidate. Wonder why? Though say cruz beats trump in popularity is like saying cruz is one eyed king of the island of the blind...

    Or perhaps, one candidate is simply more likable and respected nation-wide in what is a national role? Face it... cruz is just so slimy...
