Nah, and at least he's not being staked by money from everywhere other than Texas!  Beto's getting more cash from CA than he is from his own state, which should tell you something, but I'm sure it'll be overlooked.

I'll take a constitutionalist any day over a "free shit" kind of guy, even if I'm not much of a Ted fan.  But, that's just me.

“As of that date [March 9, 2018], 49.99% of O'Rourke's donations came from inside of Texas with the remainder from outside the state. That's a healthy split that suggests O'Rourke is not simply a creation of national Democrats but has actual, on-the-ground support among Texans.” -CNN

So quick to result to calling him an idiot when even the CNN breakdown you provided shows that < 50% of his contributions are coming from out of state.

Mostly naive, true believer Dems who who hate Cruz.

The best thing about Ted Cruz is how much he tilts CNN lovers.

50.01% is out of state.  i guess that's technically over half if you're a pedantic twat.  but in context, the article says that 49.99% means Beto has tons of support from Texans.  ted cruz gets money from pacs, lobbyists, gop etc.  its not like his campaign is bolstered by honest, salt of the earth texans.

Ted Cruz takes a higher percentage of out of state contributions than O'Rourke as of last month.

Guys, it's called fucking Google.  you can look shit up before sounding stupid

"Cruz, who established a national fundraising base in his 2016 White House bid, has relied on out-of-state contributors for some $2.5 million — or nearly half of the $5.1 million in itemized personal contributions to his re-election campaign as of the end of March.

O’Rourke, who has become something of a cause célèbre among Democrats nationally, saw nearly $2.3 million in out-of-state contributions — a little less than a third of his total $7.7 million cash haul for the same period, according to a Chronicle review of federal campaign reports."

Not voting for Beto is basically saying you're down with anti-abortion, anti-immigration, global warming, the 1%, and putting people in jail for weed. You're a fucking kook.

I lived in Austin for the better part of the last decade, Beto came around a couple of the places I worked to campaign and the dude is a G. Definitely get out and register to vote and go do that shit. It's dumb easy: cruise into city hall, punch the buttons, get your sticker and peace.

Pros:
  Played in a punk band in the 80's (Foss)
  Skated/ Skates(?)
  Jammed onstage with Willie Nelson
  Progressive
  Nice Haircut
  Porbably smells like I imagine Pierce Brosnon would smell
  not Ted Cruz

Cons:
  Got arrested in the 80's for DUI attempted forcible entry and burgulary
  Your girl thinks he's cuter than you are

Just to clarify the forcible entry / burglary charge. He crawled under a fence at the college he was attending, the University of Texas El Paso, and set off an alarm. The charges were dropped.

He owned up to the DUI and said: "I drove under the influence of alcohol. There’s no justifying that."

Texas GOP really clawing at the bits here.

Yes that is a very funny thing. Almost like it is a total bullshit smokescreen.

There have been 2 government shutdowns in this century. One in 2013, which Ted Cruz is often sited as being responsible for, and then again in 2018.

We can disagree on what all of this means but don't just say things that simply aren't true. We all have google here.

You clearly have not looked into his policies. Riding a board is just a bonus to the fact that he's an intelligent progressive candidate that's not repeating the same rhetoric or planning to roll out the same bigoted policies that have prevalent in Texas politics forever. Is there still a relatively slim chance a young progressive liberal will win Texas over? Yes, but that doesn't mean the voters shouldn't try.

No I have never received a text message from the Beto O'Rourke team. Nor has anyone I know.

Clearly the president greatly respects and values Cruz and his work.
