Can Beto O’Rourke really beat Ted Cruz?

[mojo84]

The media is doing all it can to sway the vote to Beto by making sure Ted's name isn't mentioned.

Time to Veto Beto.

Beto to be on Ellen Show.

My female liberal Facebook friends seem to be going ga ga over Beto, even the lesbian ones.

California seems to be doing their best to get him elected here. I think after he loses, may be he should take his fame there and run for office.

It feels sooooooo dishonest that an Irishman uses a Hispanic name in a heavily Hispanic district. Even is I was into open borders, no guns, state run health care, lax laws and higher taxes. It's like he's just looking to capitalize on the big percentage of people that go into the booth with no idea who to vote for.

Well, he did grow up in El Paso. Sort of the flip side of Rafael Cruz.

I'd agree if he used his real name (either one) as the prominent name on the signs. Most signs are blank except beto. Never seen a sign that says O'rourke.

Beto O’Rourke protester yelling in town hall on gun control.
Texan man- “Come and take it!”
Beto guy, “We will!”
Then @tedcruz said, That exchange right there is what this whole campaign is about! Crowd explodes. #2A

So is it dishonest that Rafael Edward "El Guero" Cruz calls himself Ted in a predominantly Republican state? Is he then patronizing to these voters by trying to be less hispanic?

Edward Kennedy, called himself "Ted" I don't think he was trying to sound less Irish JMHO

No, sir- his signs and ads all say CRUZ, in big bold capital letters. There is a real difference in honesty of the signs. The irishman's signs only bear his nickname... no first name, no middle name and no last name. If you can't see the difference, you are not being honest with yourself or us.

Beto misses debate with Cruz.

While I get your point, “Ted” is a common nickname for “Edward” - as in, Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy - and Cruz’s middle name is Edward......not “Eduardo”. Whereas “Beto” would have you believe that his first name is Roberto .... which it isn’t.

Just a thought......

Beto misses debate with Cruz.

Beto misses debate with Cruz.

But I thought he made bail?

Maybe he went to California to thank the people who posted it for him?
