39. In Texas

We need folks like him. We need Republicans and Independents to turn out for Kamala and Colin Allred. Kamala has already cut Trump’s lead in Texas in half! Allred is within 2 percentage points of Cruz!

We need all of the Republicans who spoke during the convention and those who lend their support to the Democratic Party.

Folks, Texas just became a swing state. Will Florida?

We are not asking them to be Democrats - we are asking them to put country over party.

Can we dial the temperature back a little bit?
