Yup. Also, if I was a Texan, I would have been very turned off with the out of state election money flowing toward Beto. Finally, Texas strongly favors masculinity, and Beto suffers there.

You think Cruz beats Beto when it comes to "masculinity?" OMG. THAT is hilarious!!
-
Acting and looking like a man helps outside of California
-
And, Cruz is your definition of masculine? Bless your heart....
-
His name is Limp Johnson and you are surprised that the 50 rats piloting a moist skinsuit that is Ted Cruz is his idea of masculinity?

My favorite description of Cruz yet. And, I have heard lots!!

No. He needs to be who he is. Betos future is bigger than Texas. Sorry Texans

So you didn’t really want him to win? Bad answer, messaging matters
-
"Messaging matters" is a polite way of saying it is ok to lie or not be true to oneself in order to get elected. This is why we are in the mess we are. Democrats need to embrace what the majority of the country believes in.
-
The *country?* That kind of political litmus test may have cost Dems a Senate seat from *Texas*. A Democrat can't win in Texas on a NY or CA platform.
-
What other Democrat (and what messaging) could have actually won TX? Beto energized the electorate, pulled in unheard of funding, and showed what the future looks like.
-
And he lost. Is that the "future" you want? Beto energized the base, sure, but did he draw enough Independents and Republicans who don't like Cruz over? Unknown as of yet, but I'm not optimistic. His comments on gun control and impeachment cost him *a lot* in Texas. / 1

That platform can serve a Democrat well in say, New York, or Vermont, but in Texas? That’s a non-starter. This litmus test that Democratic voters have that their candidate must adhere to certain positions on topics A-B-C etc. end up costing more than is gained. / 2

And Democrats don’t even known their own base that well. Look at the numbers of registered Democrats in Florida and it’s amazing how many of them are conceal carry permit holders. Democrats instead chase whatever object is shiny that week / 3

No. He’s showing this well because he presented his authentic self. No offense, but how can you call for a Democrat pushing 50% in TX to concede anything? You make no sense whatsoever.
