The blue checkmark Twitter experts will say that O’Rourke can’t run if he wins in November, especially after attacking Cruz for his own presidential run in 2016. That might be true. Winning a Senate race and flying straight to Iowa would be audacious, way more brazen than Obama’s decision to run after just two years in Washington. But what the wise men of Washington are absolutely wrong about is this: O’Rourke can absolutely run for president if he loses.

Only Ted Cruz would think of pointing out how cool someone is as an attack ad.

That guy actually seems pretty real, genuine, cool, down to earth, smart, etc. But then I remember he has political aspirations and is running for office so he is actually a piece of human garbage. Sad a guy like that has decided to go into politics rather than trying to make a difference with his life.

Maybe not the best thread, but Beto related...

Bunch of dumb Republicans are shocked and offended that the nation's most famous hippie stoner is supporting a goddamn librul.

I have a hard time believing that Cruz is as close to Beto among Hispanic voters as the Quinnipiac poll suggests. On the other hand, I have a hard time believing Beto has a 2 point lead.

I'd imagine Cruz will win but Trump saying he knew Ted was a loser since the primaries could be fun.

not saying you're a white progressive, but white progressives have a hard time believing latinos aren't as interested in voting for them as they think they should be. the last bad beto poll had some great twitter examples.

I don't think we want a guy whose family launders money for Mexican drug cartels being president, which is his sole source of wealth. I mean, that could create some pretty big problems.

beto will absolutely not beat cruz in texas. which isn't important to this tread but is a fact. it's like a kansas beto beating whatever wet bag we republicans trot out in ks. it's impossible.

at this point, i'm more afraid that cruz is going to fumble this away and let beto win than i am that he'll lose by so much that he's dismissed as a presidential contender.

There can’t be a more dislikable morally corrupt person out there than Ted Cruz. I’m even counting Trump and Hillary here.

It's very curious that the libtard moderates never have anything hateful to say about the leftist whackadoos (eg Feinstein, Gillibrand) who regularly say and do horrible things.

Ted Cruz tweeted this like it was a negative for Beto to be talking to those blacks about injustice. What an unbelievable self-own

Were either of them nearly the party candidate for president recently? I’m guessing 8/10 people have no idea what Gillibrand even looks like. I know I couldn’t pick either one out of a police lineup.

Yeah, I’m still glad that Trump beat Cruz.
