My memory is so bad. Did he flee to Cancun before or after he aided and abetted the attempted coup?

Nine out of the 10 poorest states—Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, Oklahoma, and Arkansas—have been red for decades, and their backward policies continue to fail their people. It’s a disgrace.

Too bad Texas is not allowing federal poll watches to make sure these are above board and transparent.

Come on texas Elect Alfred instead of the spinless snake in the grass ted who is there for a paycheck. Ted cares more about his jub than actually doing it.

[Petunia]

TX please send your senator back to Cancun, we are so sick of him. Ted Cruz is one big pile of 🗑️. Never have seen a senator who absolutely has done nothing for the people who have elected him. He’s a clear example of tax payers 💴 going down the drain!

[victormuhammad]

Why is Cruz winning? Texas will never get better. Just stuck on voting white

[jasonsarnacki]

Voted with a large group of friends and we all voted red down the ticket❤❤❤❤

[westongale]

I think that if Democrats are hoping to flip any seats, their best bets at this point are (in this order of most likely to least likely) are Texas, Nebraska, Missouri, and Florida. It will be a long shot to flip even one of those, but those are the four that I think are the most likely to flip.
