To be fair, the claim that Democrats would ban BBQ in Texas is also surprising.

Democrats want to turn Texas into California, and everyone in California eats nothing but tofu.

"We are seeing tens of millions of dollars flooding into the state of Texas from liberals all over the country who desperately want to turn the state of Texas blue," Cruz said. "They want us to be just like California, right down to tofu and silicon and dyed hair."

Nothing wrong with tofu, but it ain't meat. See the Robert Earl Keen song about barbecue.

Of course, vegetarianism isn't a plank of the Democrat's platform. Screw Cruz.
 
Isn't there a real chance that Cruz was joking? I hate the guy but he's not stupid enough to make this claim seriously, is he?

I agree, but his problem is that he is not a funny person. and his followers are not funny people. So, it becomes hard to tell when they are looking and they even have a hard time telling themselves when they are joking. So, while he may have been joking, I bet my mother-in-law beloved him. Also, I bet his wife dyes her hair.

Who, the Democrats in Texas?

Yeah, it would be mighty surprising if they attempted to ban BBQ. I used to date a vegetarian Democrat from Dallas, but she was an outlier, no doubt.

My Democratic cousin in Austin eats fine beef, I tell you what.

Well, he does try to be funny on occasion, although he seems to come across as creepy instead of funny.

Remember the video he did where he cooked bacon by wrapping it around the barrel of a gun. (Do a search for "machine gun bacon")

I actually like the cruz in this video more than the real thing:

No, what the current Republican (and occassionally Democratic) candidates say and do to get elected, and accuse their opponents of to leverage fear.

Joke thoroughly explained, all humor now erased.

Cruz is upset with Beto for suggesting Ambee Guyger should be fired.
Sorry, no link as I'm on my phone.

Ask and you shall receive:

From: https://mic.com/articles/191362/ted...to-fire-officer-accused-in-killing#.Us3KnXcfJ
“I wish Beto O’Rourke & Democrats weren’t so quick to always blame the police officer,” Cruz said Saturday during an interview with Houston’s KRIV. “She may have been in the wrong ... but I don’t think we should jump to conclusions.”
 
Another day another 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.

Linky.

I am dubious about hoping for a substantially different turn out, but it is certainly possible. It is hard to predict how it will happen this election.

Online polls have not yet impressed. But as fewer people answer their phones pollsters are going to have to find a way to make online polling work.

Trump was good at making labels stick. This may hurt Lyin Ted.

Hell, I don't think PETA has much of anything. They are a national joke, except for a few ignorant celebs who will support anything that makes them look "progressive".
