I think Ted Cruz is in real trouble.

I’m not sure about Kamala Harris and her chances in Texas, but I will say this.

I think Ted Cruz is in real trouble.

Link to tweet

I can't put in words how excited I am today.

[kimbutgar]

1. I would be so happy to never see his ugly smug face again !

Unfortunately he’ll probably get a gig on Fox.

[Johonny]

5. Sadly either CNN or FOX will hire him

As a pundit because of course they will

[CTyankee]

9. Well, let them! I never watch either one of them anyway.

I'll stick with msnbc, tyvm.

[dchill]

38. Well, let's not get out over our skis, here!

[PatSeg]

41. He certainly has a face

that the camera does NOT love. That is one ugly, slimy-looking man. I always thought he'd be a good character actor for horror films.

[Harker]

45. He'd be perfect as a contemptible, self-serving Senator...

or as a contemptible, self- serving morgue attendant.

[world wide wally]

83. He has a great face for radio

[Probatim]

88. And for punching...

Follows my earlier posts today about the punchability of Stephen Miller's face.

It's nice this election has brought out my cheerier side.

[PatSeg]

93. Yes, it is a close tie between Cruz and Miller

I can't say one has a more punchable face than the other. Oh well, I suppose that is why god gave us two hands!

[PatSeg]

92. Yeah, as long as listeners

don't already know what you look like!

[epreic01]

54. Short-lived

With his face and voice, he wouldn’t last long… miserable SOB

[horsepoor]

7. The high light of my day!

First to vote for Harris and to also vote for Allred

[irisblue]

78. Welcome to DU horsepoor

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

81. Welcome to DU!

And thank you for your votes for Harris/Walz and Allred.

[mountain grammy]

84. Welcome to DU

only reason I wish I still lived in Texas.. to vote for Colin Allred..One of those once in a lifetime candidates!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. You still won't have to see his ugly smug face again.

Why anyone here watches Fox astounds me.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

60. He very unpopular with both democrats and republicans. If he isn't a good draw for the network they wouldn't hire him

as a regular. I used to watch a lot of CNN but some of their guests were a real turn off for me and now I watch very little and will turn it off if they have someone irritating!

[getagrip_already]

77. He would hate it! They would make him show up and work!

Even if its just sitting his butt in a chair and saying stupid shite it is more than he is doing today.

[DaBronx]

2. I want to see his smarmy self lose in a landslide

Please let it be so.

[flying_wahini]

3. I sure hope Allred can pull it off, but not counting any chickens yet.

I’m a skeptic- lived here for most of my years and will believe it when I see it.
We are voting in a totally corrupted gerrymandered State that I don’t know how it’s possible to win with at least 5% margin. We shall see. Not to be a Debby downer but Allred is so close but not over by even 2%.
Hoping Women will show up and vote to be an Equal Citizen in Every State.

[Passages]

8. I hear you. I am allowing myself to be excited today.

Too often I suppress hope because of politicians like Cruz and Abbott, and it's not good for the soul.

[flying_wahini]

13. Well I am too, really. I'm guarding because I have had my heart broken a lot in Texas.

Still love BETO.

[Passages]

16. Yep!

[karynnj]

14. The Senate race can not be gerrymandered.

[jimfields33]

28. Gerrymandering has nothing to do with a senate seat.

[MannyS]

64. No, but it is demoralizing

and probably suppresses the Democratic votes.

[jimfields33]

73. I don't think so at all.

I think voters are voting more than ever except maybe 2020.

[tinrobot]

86. If Beto can come within 2 points, Colin can close that gap

Particularly when you add in things like Dobbs, the insurrection, and six more years of Ted's idiocy.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. He looks greasy.....

He looked a tad more human before the beard. Some men look good in beards. Cancun and Vance, not so much.

[Elessar Zappa]

17. Have you seen Vance without the beard?

Believe it or not, he looks even worse!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

22. Not much of an improvement I reckon then...

[LisaL]

6. Please, TX, send Ted Cruz on a permanent vacation!

NT

[keithbvadu2]

18. Back to Cancun

[Tweedy]

11. I hope you are right!

As Rep. Allred said to Senator Cruz, “you need to lose your job!”

If Senator Cruz does not, it will be clear to everybody that there is nothing a Republican can do that is so bad the people of Texas will care. I so hope that is not the lesson the gop learns in Texas in this election!!

The Texas GOP truly needs to joust with humility. The Texas GOP is actually killing women now (!!!!)! and blaming ob/gyn’s while they are doing it. I do so hope “the eyes of Texas are upon” this and that they are going to send some of these nihilistic fools packing.

[blue sky at night]

12. it would be so fine...

if Colin wins...I donated to him back in July when Biden stepped aside...I also donated to Kamala and Sherrod...boy did I get the text messages but who cares? Go Blue T E X A S! Go Blue O H I O !

[TwilightZone]

15. Cautiously optimistic.

Here in Texas, polls have a hard time dealing with our weird, inconsistent turnout issues, and late voters usually break right.

Obviously, it would be great to break that pattern this cycle, but I think it's a little too early to celebrate quite yet. We're definitely trying to make it happen.

[kwolf68]

19. Any reason they think he's in trouble?

I'd love for it to be true, but ...i cant trust my good friends down in Texas.

[ecstatic]

20. I donated to that senate race more than any other

People HATE cruz, so it's not surprising.

That said, it kind of seems like Allred was left to fend for himself without a lot of support from the party.

[ananda]

29. Me too.

I have never done that before, but this time
felt different.

[bdamomma]

72. I also donated

to Colin many times and I'm not from Texas. But Cancun Ted's time is up 12 years what has he done in those 12 years. Time for him to go. I hope Colin is successful.

[LizBeth]

21. This is what I am hearing the happy surprise of the day will be and from peeps in TX

[Quiet Em]

23. That would be a sweet cherry on top.

I've also heard good news on Tester's polling as well.

I'm going to have so many things to celebrate tonight.

[Passages]

25. That's great news about Tester!

[Emile]

24. Wouldn't that be great to get rid of that loon.

[Wednesdays]

26. Based on what?

Eight ball? Ouija boards?


Not saying Cruz isn't in trouble, but there's no evidence presented here.

[nycbos]

33. Exactly

Tweets that are out of context aren't exactly hard data

[Xavier Breath]

79. A complete stranger deemed it so on Twitter

and, by God, that's good enough for me many, apparently.

All snark aside, I get it. I too like so many would love to see that slimy mfer's political demise occur tonight. C'mon, universe, give us a break.

[Best_man23]

27. I think the only thing that could equal the Convicted Felon losing

Would be if Ted Cruz loses tonight.

[rubbersole]

46. Both. Throw in Rick Scott.

Trifecta of shit.

[FakeNoose]

61. That would be so awesome but ...

Rick Scott isn't going to lose this time.

I'd lo-o-ove to see Ted Cruz lose, and I think it's possible he's in trouble. The polls kept saying Cruz is unbeatable, but I never believed them. (It's just a psychic feeling, I don't know.) Colin Allred would be a wonderful NEW Senator from Texas.

We've known all along that Chump is going to lose this. Even his own party doesn't want him back in the White House.

[bucolic_frolic]

30. Abbott and Paxton have Ted's back

DOJ is observing from outside the polling places

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

66. So that's the compromise after Abbott refused DOJ access to polling locations? (a$$hole)

[nycbos]

31. What is this based on?

Would love nothing more than to kick that POS out of the US Senate but I need something more than an out-of-context tweet. Does this account have hard data on what's going on on the ground?

[Passages]

35. Hard data? I would not say so.....more about experience with elections w/ a combination of current information.

[nycbos]

80. Who is this person though

A sweet from "The Political HQ" doesn't exactly say credible trustworthy source off the bat.

[Passages]

82. Merely a small outfit news media. Only been around imo with honest measured opinions since 2019.

I have found some are just better at this than other larger enterprises.

[mgardener]

32. This makes me happy

I only wish NY21 would do the same to Stefanik.

[Jilly_in_VA]

34. I certainly hope so.

From their keyboard to God's screen! I don't watch Faux Noise so if they hire him as a pundit I could care less.

[SarcasticSatyr]

36. They need to send Cancun Cruz on a permanent vacation . . . .

. . . .

[hamsterjill]

37. Nothing would make me happier.

I’m a sixth generation Texan. Unfortunately, the idiots who I live among will keep Cruz in office, I fear.

Oh, how I would LOVE to be wrong!!!!

[appleannie1]

39. After his ill timed Cancun trip it would serve him right if no one voted for him.

[appleannie1]

40. It would serve him right

Hope he enjoyed his nice warm beach.








Sorry for the double. I had gotten the message that the first one did not work so I tried a second time.

[Tribetime]

42. Texas will turn BLUE

[Katnip.]

91. There's reason to hope

It would be wonderful. To be free of Cancun Cruz...... even his Repub colleagues hate him.

Allred closed very strongly.

Turning blue would have me dancing in the street.

[liberalla]

43. This would be such a big deal! Do it Texas! Fire Cruz and Hire Allred!

[calimary]

44. As Captain Picard would say: "Make it so!"

It'd be really nice to remove the ugly wart from the face of the U.S. Senate.

[MagickMuffin]

47. I did my part first day of early voting

I would love to see nothing more than to finally see Cancun Cruz without a job. Especially, since he isn’t a real Texan. He’s a migrant from Canada. Hey I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice. I guess that’s why his Cuban daddy decided to move south. Too bad they didn’t return to Cuba, Ted would’ve felt much better there.

[TBF]

48. I certainly hope so -

Colin Allred wiped the floor w/him in the debate.

[Blue_Roses]

49. Oh, I hope so!

We need to get rid of him, our governor, Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton, our attorney General next.

[Beachnutt]

53. And Danny Goeb

needs to too.

[Blue_Roses]

74. Who's he?

I haven't heard his name yet

[Beachnutt]

75. Google that name...

[ck4829]

50. It would be nice

[sheshe2]

51. I hope so...

His last debate was awful 😣

[Rebl2]

52. 👏👏👏👏

[badhair77]

55. On Deadline, Claire McCaskill just told Nicolle

if Ted loses she may get up and dance. I hope to see it.

[Passages]

56. ha ha I hope she does!

[TSExile]

76. I love Claire.

Please dance...with the cake dome in the background!!! 🎂 🥮

[JCMach1]

57. He will run for Prez in 2028 regardless

[Rebl2]

58. 🤮🤮🤮

[JCMach1]

69. He's a legend in his own mind

[ReadytoRetire]

59. Rejecting Trump is the real goal...

... but damn, it'd be good to see that smug Cancun arse finally go down.

[Passages]

62. Yes, like a vitamin B shot for the country.

[wryter2000]

63. Please, Lord, please

Allred is so good, and he's worked so hard. I want to see him in the Senate.

[twodogsbarking]

65. He passes the "Weird" test, perfect score.

[Passages]

68. Yep, with flying colors.

[PedroXimenez]

67. this is his first election since i moved to Texas

i moved here to kick him out

[Passages]

70. Fantastic. Happy to meet your acquaintance.

[PedroXimenez]

71. howdy!

as we say

[CentralBlueTexan]

85. Passages

Lived in Texas since it was a deep blue state and watched it turn red. Hope Alfred wins, but think Cruz definitely will not do as well as Trump in Texas

[Passages]

87. Hope so and welcome!

[COL Mustard]

89. What did Al Franken say about Cruz?

Something like I like Ted Cruz more than anybody in the Senate, and I hate Ted Cruz.

[still-prayin4rain]

90. Oh, please let Trd Cruz be out!! nt

[JoseBalow]

94. I'm wearing my lucky Colin Allred shirt tonight

with my fingers crossed!

[billcomp1]

95. We can only hope and pray that Cruz is vanquished

Cruz has not done much for Texas except for taking trips to Cancun.
He also lies very well.
My understanding is that Cruz was not even from Texas originally.
