    I heard he runs an internet website under the shell company Jane O’Bryan media where he pays 18-23 year old boys money to tickle each other on camera. It’s called “extreme endurance tickling”. He also goes by the name terry tickles.

    Are you talking about the black 8 year old boys he was abducting from foster homes and selling their organs to Chinese campaign contributors? I know that was common knowledge but I thought the Mexican child slavery ring was just rumor at this point.

    He's not wrong. Texas is great because we're not California and Democrats want to change that.

    With all of cruz's whining about out-of-state and California campaign donations, cruz gets almost as much out-of-state campaign money and he happily takes donations from California too. So instead of running a smear campaign against California of all things, maybe he can talk about what he does for Texas and how he offers a better future for Texas.

    Maybe he can talk about all the bills he has sponsored that have become law? All two of them. https://www.congress.gov/member/ted-cruz/C001098?q={"bill-status":"law","sponsorship":"sponsored"} If you include bills that were incorporated into other bills, he was a bit more effective... six: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/browse?sponsor=412573#enacted_ex=on

    Or... maybe he can focus on his record for missing votes:

    For comparison:

    The Canadians campaign strategy is to make fun of California? Nice.

    Ted Cruz takes money from owners of the Warriors while pretending to be a Rockets fan.

    His favorite NBA player is Draymond Green.

    It's true.

    Robert Francis O'Rourke has pulled to within 3 points of Cruz based on a nickname alone, that's impressive. He'd be smart to dodge all debates and see if that nickname can win the election for him. He absolutely doesn't want to be forced to start discussing anything of substance or his race is sunk.

    Nope. Anyone that is paying attention knows you are pushing a false narrative. The choices are simple. You vote for the guy who is shown to be spineless and only knows how to campaign negatively, is not liked within his own party and arguably his own family, has really done nothing since being in office - simply because he has an R by his name, OR you can vote for the guy that has been busting his ass to get his word out, spreading positivity, speaking about people working together for common goals, trying to represent all of Texas and not special interests, refusing PAC money.

    Yeah, that’s a tough one.

    It looks likely that people in my living areas go for Beto, I see more posters for Beto, a few for Ted.

    Funny you'd say this yet you are kind of stating the same thing I was. He's been "getting his word out", but it hasn't been about policy, it has been about "positivity" and "working together"....just look at his current TV ad, literally nothing about any policy or political stance, just more empty rhetoric about "getting along" and whatnot.

    My point was that since he's running on a nickname and positive thoughts, the last thing he wants to do is actually have to tell people where he stands on the issues so he'd be smart to duck any and all debates where his stance on the issues might come out.

    There's a difference between having a nickname and that being essentially all you are running on. When you look at Ted Cruz ads, you don't just see TED in big letters, when it comes to Robert Francis O'Rourke.....

    I mean he's one step above

    When it comes to substance, Ted Cruz welcomes a debate on the issues, that's where he'd crush Whitey O'Rourke. Whitey wisely has run from any and all debates.
