Doesn’t sound too desperate. Solid work Canadian immigrant Rafael Cruz!Actual quote from Ted Cruz - "If Texas elects a Democrat, they’re going to ban barbecue across the state of Texas.”
Meh, I have learned to not cast my votes based on culinary threats after the Tremendous Taco Truck Tragedy of '16.Actual quote from Ted Cruz - "If Texas elects a Democrat, they’re going to ban barbecue across the state of Texas.”
Come on this one was clearly a joke. Plenty of actual horrible things to criticize Cruz over, no need to focus on this.Actual quote from Ted Cruz - "If Texas elects a Democrat, they’re going to ban barbecue across the state of Texas.”

Beto wants to tax away your BBQ and give it away for free in the form of Healthcare. That's Socialism.Come on this one was clearly a joke. Plenty of actual horrible things to criticize Cruz over, no need to focus on this.
Before I clicked on the video, I was going to make a "imagine if they were BBQing while black" joke. Turns out I I didn't have to imagine that.Florida's way ahead of you, Texas.
Florida county tells resident to keep barbecue smoke in his own yard
“I just took three pictures of smoke,” Graham explains. “I can smell it again right now. You’re allowed to have it smell on your property, so that doesn’t count, but when I’m on the street, that’s when it counts.”
Jordan can be heard laughing in the video as the specialist continues to explain the problem.
“Is that against the law?” one of the men questions.
Graham proceeds to pull out his handbook and informs the men that neighbors are allowed to call in if they have concerns about barbecue smoke. Pinellas County has a 24 hour hotline for residents to call in an emergency air quality complaint.
According to the ordinance, “commercial barbecue cookers are not exempt from causing a nuisance odor. If a sufficient number of complaints, representing different households, are reported and an Inspector witnesses the problem, they can issue a Warning Letter.”
Video Don't know why these people are being harrassed.
Yeah but check the 2nd link I added.Before I clicked on the video, I was going to make a "imagine if they were BBQing while black" joke. Turns out I I didn't have to imagine that.

I'm not sure I understand this poll.Latest polling not good for O'Rourke. That's so frustrating.
Texas is split 40/39 in favor of Democrats as far as voter registration. Are they saying that the 9 point difference is based on the likelihood of more Republicans voting?In Tuesday's survey, 93 percent of likely voters said they had made up their minds. Both candidates had the support of 94 percent of likely voters in their parties, while O'Rourke held a slim lead among independents.
I guess that is it. I read the article on Quinnipiac and it didn't say how they determined likely voters. At least not that I saw.I'm not sure I understand this poll.

U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-El Paso, leads Republican incumbent Ted Cruz by 2 percentage points among likely voters, according to an Ipsos online poll released Wednesday in conjunction with Reuters and the University of Virginia. O’Rourke has been closing the gap over the last several months, but this is the first poll that puts him ahead of Cruz.
Forty-seven percent of likely voters told Reuters they would vote for O'Rourke, while 45 percent said they would cast their ballot for Cruz. Three percent said they would vote for "Other," and 5 percent said "None." The margin of error on that portion of the poll was 3.5 percentage points.
A Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday put Cruz 9 percentage points ahead of O’Rourke among likely voters. That poll was based on phone interviews, while the Ipsos poll used an online survey. But it’s trying to predict who will show up on Election Day that shifts the numbers, said Ipsos Vice President Chris Jackson.
Ipsos is trying to gauge political enthusiasm on each side, said Jackson. The poll asked respondents to estimate the likelihood that they’d vote in the midterm elections on a scale from one to 10. “More Democrats are registering at the highest part of the scale, at the 10, than the Republicans,” Jackson said. And that’s what’s interesting, he said, because Republicans usually have the momentum advantage in Texas.
“It demonstrates how Democrats are mobilized,” said Jackson. “This election is going to be really competitive and its going be very hard fought.”
Healthcare and immigration were the issues that Texas voters valued most, according to the poll, but it’s “very lopsided,” Jackson said. Republican respondents cared most about immigration and Democrats cared most about healthcare with very little overlap.
Respondents were also asked whether they perceived Cruz and O’Rourke as “traditional” politicians. Among likely voters, 76 percent saw Cruz as traditional, while only 32 percent perceived O’Rourke that way — something that may be to O’Rourke’s advantage in a political climate that leans away from establishment politics, Jackson said.
The poll also questioned voters about the Texas gubernatorial election and found that Gov. Greg Abbott leads his Democratic challenger, Lupe Valdez, by 9 percentage points among likely voters.
I assume that the ideal poll would be a combination of online and phone? And that online would skew towards younger voters and phone would skew towards older?Online poll v. phone. This one had voters rank their likelihood of voting rather than just saying whether they intended to vote or not.

Condoleezza Rice said the same thing, she’s a republican because Democrats didn’t let her father vote or some BS like that.From twitter - in debate w/O’Rourke, Cruz says he’s a Republican because Rs supported the civil rights movement while Democrats in the South opposed it he claimed Martin Luther King would side w/him in opposing NFL athletes who kneel during National Anthem because King respected the flag.
Yeah. Cruz turned 18 in 1988. 24 years after LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act and 20 years after the GOP welcomed all the former Southern Democrat racists with open arms.Condoleezza Rice said the same thing, she’s a republican because Democrats didn’t let her father vote or some BS like that.
Its such a stupid talking point.
They don’t talk about how the south turned from blue to red basically overnight when the civil rights act was passed.
It's also a stupid talking point because every single southern Republican in Congress voted against the 1964 Civil Rights bill.Gachi said:

I thought Beto missed an opportunity to point out that Trump and the GOP have not solved the healthcare issue and costs have continued to rise under them. And point out how they are purposely undermining the ACA. Instead he focused on a couple of cases for protecting existing conditions, which Cruz had already said he wanted to protect.Beto did well; had a lull here and there, but landed a few too ... paraphrasing an early favorite, "thoughts and prayers are not going to cut it anymore."
Cruz is an absolute master of subtle slime.
