    What hypocrisy of mine is it you’re referring to?

    Your post makes zero sense in the context of the discussion, and it’s difficult to follow what the hell youre talking about in any context at all. You might to read your posts again and reconsider who the dumb one is in here (spoiler: it’s you).

    Mike Collier is the Dem running against Dips***t Patrick. I’ve seen ads. Check his platform out. I like a lot of what he has to say. But I’d literally vote for a pile of dog s*** before I’d vote for Dannie Goeb. Lupe Valdez will lose to abbot by 25 points.

    What I’d give to have a competent Democrat to run against Brady. Such an incredible schmuck.

    Beto needs to chill out and take a breath - his new ads aren't very good.

    IMO he moves around too much for the extreme close up style he uses. Pan back a bit and it won't be as distracting as he sways his head around all the time while talking.

    The Mr nice guy ads don’t work when your opponent is running 4 attack ads for everyone of them. People are dumb

    I haven't changed my mind and still think Beto is going to pull it off. I can't find anyone who likes Cruz, aside from the few far-right posters here. If Cruz wins, it'll be due to a bunch of automatons who marched up to the polling place knowing nothing about him except that he has an "R" by his name. Ignorance is not bliss. In this case, it's contributing to the severe danger the republic finds itself in after 2 years of trump, aided by a corrupt Republican majority in Congress.

    I disagree. The western European countries, at least, are having severe problems, notably with unemployment rates for the young.

    Of course, most or all of their problems are self-inflicted, and are a result of either too many entitlement programs or overly liberal immigration policies.

    Then why are health care costs rising in the US? I believe that it was you that cited some source that said this very thing.

    Now, this is a position I can wholeheartedly support.

    I think thats big reason why Cruz wins. Its really easy and lazy to go a vote straight down party lines at booths.

    Based on your behavior in this thread, yes, where you're insulting millions of Americans and Texans based on some clickbait you read. I do not judge you based on clickbait about some politician. Peace.

    (Please note the difference, @cml750, et alia.)

    He very well might be planning on dumping the rest of the 10 mil he's got raised in the final week but I'm not sure it'll be any more effective than the 12 mil he spent in the last few weeks. This race has been over for a while.

    The rainbows and butterflies didn't work. Now, it seems like he's finally trying to "fight back" against Cruz's attack ads, but it's way too little, too late. Not one of his ads has ever even referenced Trump.

    Beto should have focused on hammering home that cruz voting against pre existing conditions, and his attack on medicare and SS.

    Its funny how old old white people rail against socialism, but don't realize medicare and ss is socialism. They will get way more than they put in.

    Yeah but it's probably too late to reach a lot of old people because many of them have voted already with early voting. As soon as O'Rouke was forced to admit to what his policies were, he needed to go on the attack and he just didn't.

    I don't think he realized how much the things he stands for would be viewed as a negative by the majority of the state.

    Okay, I don't have a problem with it.

    Certainly. I don't think there is a tradition of would-be Senators releasing their tax returns like we have for Presidents, but let's go ahead and ask for them.

    In this regard, its akin to the criticisms that Beto was a super-hot bad boy when he was young, a skater and a rocker. Cruz had a bunch of middle-aged ladies positively swooning over Beto after that one. I'm surprised he wasn't getting bras thrown on stage at his rallies after that.
