    Personally, since I'm no longer a citizen of Texas, it's irrelevant. If I was a potential swing voter, I would wonder why Obama has decided against an endorsement in such a critical, high profile race.

    It is a little weird, but I wouldn't care too much if I was a Texas voter.

    Like you, it's not relevant to me. I just have to vote against Pelosi and DiFi. :D

    An Obama endorsement in Texas won't sway anyone to Beto's side and it would just give Cruz another bucket of chum to rile up his base.

    Because Texas is an extreme red state and he thinks it would hurt more than help.

    Yes, it was a smart move by Obama and by Beto to not have the endorsement. It looks good for Beto in the state of Texas.

    Hillary outperformed Obama's 2012 results in Texas. That tells everyone what they need to know about Obama's pull in Texas.

    A review so sensual that Ted Cruz retweeted it.

    or how unpopular trump is. i never voted for obama, but i voted for hillary clinton only because she was running against trump.

    im so anti-clinton that in 2008 i registered as a democrat so i could vote against her in the primary. i wanted to do my part to make sure she did not get the nomination. i never even voted for obama for president - i just wanted to make sure hillary did not get it. despite all that, i voted for clinton in 2016 - thats how much i hate donald trump.

    Ted must be getting nervous, he's busting out the big guns: at his campaign stops in Wichita Falls and Conroe on Wednesday he'll be joined by none other than Donald Trump Jr.

    Growing up my parents loved the relaxed laws in New Braunfels on drinking. They’d joke about the signs in the tube shuttles saying “pass the driver a beer, he’s a person too” and how that the hill country was real texas.

    Now Beto is a devil unfit for senate because he benefitted from more relaxed drinking laws back in the day.

    I don’t get it. My parents also were anti guns and never listened to country before Obama... and now they’re the opposite. I just don’t get it.

    It's a really disconcerting phenomenon.

    I will. I hope nobody from Cruz's office was harmed by any dangerous chemicals. Just because I think Ted Cruz is an abhorrent troll, doesn't mean that I believe the everyday people that work for him should be subjected to any sort of danger.

    I also would hope that Cruz's supporters wouldn't use a story about Cruz's workers having harm done to them as a political tool to spread conspiracy theory and lies about something as insane as Beto O'Rourke having ties to and giving order to TERRORIST organizations that pull off attacks on US soil.

    That would be unfortunate.

    My bad, let me translate that for you in your native tongue:

    Держите троллинг, вы не знаете, кто послал пакет еще здесь, вы обвиняете сторонников Beto. Насколько мы знаем, это может быть внутренний терроризм или что-то в самом деле.
