Could this former NFL linebacker Democrat unseat Sen. Ted Cruz in Texas?

CNN's Ed Lavandera breaks down the latest in the heated Texas Senate race, where Democrat Colin Allred is virtually tied in the polls with incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. #CNN #News

Please Texas... Move on from that fruit loop...

Damn I hope Allred takes this!!! Very few people here in Texas like Cruz, but he still has to overcome the "vote red until you're dead" mentality. That's a big hurdle to get over.

Voted for Allred on Monday. Glad to do it, he's our guy.

I proudly cast my vote early and it was for COLIN ALLRED!

Calling Ted Cruz a coward is an insult to cowardice

Texas is ready for change. San Antonio Texas Will help bring in the change.

Ted Cruz is a slimeball. He would be the LAST person I would want in charge of my daughter's rights. Vote blue.

[dr.g]

Colin Allred is such a better (more electable) candidate than Beto O'Rourke; I think there's a chance Cruz will finally lose his seat and it's way overdue imo.

Colin Allred would never abandon Texas in a storm, just like he didn't hide in a supply cupboard when rioters attacked the Capitol.

I've been supporting Colin Allred by financial contributions and voting in person. Mr. Allred is right, Ted is too small for Texas. Ted even left his dog in a freezing house during a ice storm that KILLED hundreds of Texans, while he ran off to Cancun. And he blamed it on his young daughters, saying that he did it for them. I think that his wife had a huge say in the decision to flee Texas.

Ted Cruz: Your master who was the star of a show called "CELEBRITY APPRENTICE" literally partied with Jeff Epstein, you've got some nerve saying anything about it looking like Allred parties with Diddy.

I have already early voted here in Texas for Colin Allred and an all BLUE ballot!!!!

[kathleentorres]

Saying "keep Texas, Texas is so insulting. If that's the case, keep the borders as they are. Abbott has been the governor for 9 years and only trots out immigration come election time. We have bigger issues to worry about like how women do not matter in Texas. They keep telling us that. It's time for Abbott and Cruz to find other jobs.

[cerka]

As a lifelong Texan, my family and I have already voted 💙

[readlisten]

Rooting for Allred🟦🟦🟦
Vote Cruz out! Vote for Allred🔵

[evilfingers]

Cmon Texas, kick Cruz to the curb like a bad habit and turn the state Blue!

[LasVegas]

Hey Ted you ran out on your people when they needed you, that's ok, right?

[mr.v]

Yes Colin can win. Here's how:
Every single democrat goes to vote in Texas blindsiding the Republicans sitting comfortable at home.

[tinasan]

I'm an old lady in Dallas and I early-voted for Colin Allred and straight BLUE ! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
