Always remember...If you insult Ted's wife and family, he'll campaign for you when you run for president.

Texan here! Lying Ted needs to go. He hasn’t done anything to help our state.

[happilyeverheefner]

I’m from Texas and I’m voting for Allred! Sick of lying Ted and only think of himself! Left and went to Cancun when we had no electricity.

[lizc]

Dallas resident here, voting for Allred!
Cruz can happily go back to Cancun!

[inwin]

Proud and excited to be a Texan voting for Allred in just a weeks time!

[ianjoshuaalvarezarcelo]

I will support Collin Allred for US Senator for Texas

[evansbl]

I’m voting for the man who texted his family “I love you” and took off his coat and was ready to throw down for this country! Ted Cruz is a coward and con man!

[thedustyhead]

As a life long Texan, I can't believe that fellow Texans would vote for that spineless wussy Ted Cruz over a born and bread smart tough Texan like Colin Allred ! Cruz has had 12 years and hasn't done anything for everyday Texans ! Cruz needs to be retired to his podcast where he spends all his time anyway !

Ted is a snake. He can't even stand up for his wife. How can he stand for others?

[WouldChuck]

Mr Allred is such a decent man and great candidate. /he's serious, knows the issues inside and out and /ted /cruz goes off on ridiculous side shows talking about transgender flags and drag shows and somehow held ahead. It's the people's fault we have idiots in office these days. The buffoonery and childishness of people like Ted Cruz is n full display and people vote for him anyway.

[Melania.Melanoma-cx]

Cancun Cruz thinks the same of Democracy as he does his wife- not worth defending.

[annelieskarolien]

I know a girl from Texas who's studying in the Netherlands. She's 21 and she's so excited because this will be her first time voting. She comes from a long line of Republicans in her family. She will vote Democrat up and down the ballot.

Cancun Cruz...Closet Cruz...Coward Cruz
Corrupt Cruz...Cancel Cruz...Colin over Cruz
VOTE BLUE 🌊💦💙 TEXANS

[Mona]

No one here in Texas likes Cruz on either side, his evil smirk is infuriating

[ReeeeeeUp]

Ted hasn’t passed any meaningful legislation

I’m in Texas and I’m voting for Collin because my state is a giant mess. EDIT: we want marriage and children. We want three kids after we get married. (My boyfriend & I). Two of my OBGYN’s have fled the state. The abort law has gone haywire and pregnant women are dying. My friend was made infertile. That’s my redline.
Sorry, I want kids & marriage and the white picket fence. that’s incompatible with extremist evangelicals who told me it was my fault my mom died and they do the same thing to the spouses who lost their pregnant wives. I’m in my 20’s. I’m not risking being defacto sterilized. I’m a relatively non political person and you people are making me vote because you suck so bad. I’m in my 20’s. Leave me alone. Seriously you fucked up my medical care and we’ve delayed getting married until next year and to wait on having kids. I’m sick of this shit.

I had a newborn when the power went out. A month old. Me, my wife, our newborn and our dog (yes we took our dog out of the cold!) stayed in a car. You know how hard it is to take care of a newborn in a car? I was scared for his life. The gas stations were closed. We only had so long. When I heard about Ted Cruz going on vacation, I was livid. I knew by the way Trump dog walked Cruz he was spineless, but when he left for vacation while so many in Texas are fighting for our lives, and the lives of our family, that really took the cake. He is the worst of us. A weasel.

As a Canadian watching this debate. Cruz seems undereducated. One sided. Old fashioned. Out of touch. Lacking reality…. As well extremely obnoxious.

Allred seems well educated. Respectable. And a great voice for the people.
