So much so, in fact, that I am certain he would have ended up wiping the floor with his opponent, just as he would in a dark alley. Now it is up to all good Texans to make sure Cruz the Pretender / Predator does NOT Go Back into Congress, for their own sakes. 💔💙💙💙

We do have a Dem running against Zach Nunn (IA-3) and we have a really good shot at unseating him. They gerrymandered this district to oust our one remaining democratic representative (Axne) but it’s time to take it back.

    I was born and raised in Texas, have lived in Texas my entire 71 years. I have never been a fan of Cruz, from the Tea Party days until the MAGA days. He's only interested in Ted. Colin Allred appears to be a good man, with honest intentions and a good heart. Also a lifelong Texan, like my self. I have donated money to his campaign, and have already voted (by mail) for Allred. He is the direction I would like to see this state, and this country to go. The MAGA way is a very dark, authoritarian hole which is not good for Texas, our country, or for that matter, the entire world. Don't fall for the propaganda, and lies from MAGA. Please vote for the future of our children and all our descendants to live in freedom as we have done for our entire lives. Freedom is at stake. An important step is to place Allred in the chair as a Senator from Texas.

    Damn, Allred CRUSHED Cruz!! Cruz looks like a washed-up disheveled clown standing next to Allred. Even Cruz's body language is saying he knows he's a Loser.
