Robert Francis O'Rourke is probably another Wendy Davis; a liberal who is the darling of monied interests and national media but has little natural appeal in Texas. Like Davis he'll start out somewhat close and raise a ton of money from NY and California but fall behind the more the race goes on

Cruz is Latino in a WWC Latino state, so it's no problem for him on winning.

Expecting I to be a good bit closer than this. As others have pointed out, the cross tabs are a good bit in favor of Cruz than how it likely is. Still lean R.

The vast majority of the red avatars are saying this is expected, but keep being a partisan hack. Smiley

I think O'Rourke could take an advantage against Cruz by attacking him on NAFTA and free trade in general since Cruz supports the construction of Trump's wall while pushing it could antagonize Texas' major trading partner which is Mexico, casting a pall over the trade talks, thus risking to restrict trade between Texas and Mexico and could cost jobs in Texas. And 1 out of 4 jobs in Texas depend on trade with Mexico.

Well, they should because their pockets depend on it.

And by the way, on jobs, again, O'Rourke could use the article below against Cruz in order to destroy him when talking economy by attacking him on his role in the lawsuit defending a Chinese company that stole an American invention and blueprints.

Trump is a free trader and having summits with Korea who is friends with China. Mexico and China is where we get our free trade from. That's why we are s center right country.

Texas is not a Trumpian state, but it is a small government Tea Party state. Lyin' Ted is a Tea Party nut, and fits the state much better than the Orange Clown.

It’s not 1911. Don’t say ‘monied interests’.

Besides Ted is a Harvard lawyer who’s spend his whole life in politics and who’s wife works for Goldman Sachs...

Beto O Rourke is also not taking any Corporate PAC Money while Ted Cruz fights for corporate tax cuts & deregulation of big banks and has the entire GOP swamp behind him.

Anyone who thinks Beto has the "monied interests" behind him is insane. He is the David vs Goliath (the Texas swamp)
