A poll shows that the Republican senator is neck and neck in the polls with his likely Democratic challenger, Congressman Colin Allred.

    I really hate it when the headlines only name the Republican candidate and not their challenger. I know they’re sociopathic headline grabbers and so more people know their names already, but you’d think when polling shows the race is a dead heat, they could squeeze in the name of the other candidate.

    After the National Public Affairs surveyed 807 likely voters, Cruz is neck and neck with his likely Democratic opponent, Congressman Colin Allred. Each candidate is on 44 percent of the vote share; 12 per cent said they were undecided. The polling was conducted between February 6 and February 8, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.

    Rafael Cruz, please, you can’t just let people choose some other name to go by just because they don’t identify with it!

    He’ll still have the warm, wet feeling of pissing his pants regularly to keep him comforted.

    Neck and (scratchy) neck.

    That beard…

    I mean, mine occasionally gets that bad, but the lady will have been making a fuss for weeks before I end up in that condition.

    This guy just walks around constantly with that filthy mess. I don’t get it.

    I’m so looking forward to what assault on reality of a bill the TX state government will try to ram through in order to throw the election in favor of Mr. Zodiac Killer.

    Maybe he’ll fly away to Cancun so they can’t vote him out.

    Clickbait headline. From within the very same article:

    The Cook Political Report, which tracks elections across the U.S., rates Texas’ Senate race as “likely Republican,” meaning it is “not considered competitive at this point” but has the “potential to become engaged.”
