Everyone seems to be missing the key thing about Democrat Colin Allred, the candidate running against Ted Cruz.
Allred is not just any Democrat. He has a track record of beating hypocritical Texas politicians who everyone says "can't be beat.
In 2018, Allred ousted Pete Sessions a Republican who held his seat for over TWENTY YEARS. And Allred did it in a RED district.
Colin Allred has not only proven that Democrats can win in Texas. Allred has proven that HE can win in Texas.
Are you ready for Ted Cruz to LOSE? 💙

That's an easy one. Hell, the dog shit I cleaned up in my back yard this morning would get my vote, over Cancun Cruz.
