Ted Cruz & rest of Texas GQP may poke as much at Beto as they wish. Yet they will NEVER know the love, respect & positivity Beto has been showered with all over Texas. He meant many good things to many Texans. He was hope personified for a state drowning in division & hate.

Ha. Folks just realising that 2 elections were stolen from Beto. The best Dem candidate to have run in Texas. And they fvkced him over twice.

Do u know why Texas removed straight ticket voting? Do u know why Texas made youth voting harder? Do u know why Texas has resorted to racial gerrymandering, making it even worse than before? . 2018. Beto.

Could have had Beto. A stable grid. Fully funded public Ed. Expansion of Medicaid. Common sense gun laws. Genuine solutions to border issues. Respect for human rights. An actual humanitarian in office instead of an incompetent bought off ghoul. Yet millions decided not to vote.
Texans, please conserve energy to prevent blackouts. Hold off on using major appliances. Raise your thermostat a few degrees. It may be uncomfortable, but you can save lives. If you use a medical device at home, contact your local utility and have a backup plan.

@KenPaxtonTX Texas leads in teen pregnancies & repeat teen pregnancies.Leads in maternal mortality. Is 12th highest in child poverty.Ranks 38th in education.78 school shootings since 2013.Remains the least insured state.Which is dead last in mental healthcare. How about the born & living?.

Just coz Beto is a decent,kind human being who invites everyone in despite their political views,listens to everyone & treats everyone with respect does not mean he will tolerate the belittling of deaths of 19 kids whose families he grieved with.That genuine anger is pure Beto🙏🏼.

@GregAbbott_TX U sued after ur accident.Won $11+ Million.Receive monthly payments even now.Then changed the law so no one else cud benefit like u did. Even worse u tried to gut the American Disabilities Act.Have made Texas the WORST state for the disabled community. This is who u r.

Always counter propaganda with FACTS.For example,Abbott has no power to conduct foreign policy.He’s pretending he’s signing agreements when its political theatre. Abbott’s border truck disaster is doing nothing for immigration or drugs.Inspection of tires & brakes is his limit.

The crowds Beto is drawing in the smallest towns,red counties,are making a lot of people nervous.Don’t believe otherwise.He has great momentum.He’s running a very intuitive campaign,Texans are turning up for his events & the gap is shrinking.That is why propaganda is increasing.

The Mayor of Uvalde is calling Beto a SOB?What does he have to say for those sitting on stage who made the worst school shooting in America possible in his town?? Is he holding them accountable? Or is it power/ party/$ over children’s lives???.

All the good things in Texas in one person. And no one will ever convince me otherwise. Losing out on @BetoORourke twice is a real loss for the once great state.Having a humanitarian as a leader wud have restored decency,compassion,honesty & goodness to a morally bankrupt Texas.

@tedcruz U passed 2 bills in 9 years. Fled Texas during a freeze. Spend all ur time on tweeting propaganda & clout chasing on celebrity threads. Cosplaying Senator while taking in millions for doing NOTHING. Incited an insurrection & stopped the peaceful transfer of power. Sit down Ted.

Obama 2012: loses Texas by 16 points. Hillary 2016: loses Texas by 9 points. Biden 2020: loses Texas by 5 points. Beto 2018: lost by 2.6 points. Texas is changing rapidly. Do not let polls tell u otherwise.

Blue state Dems will never understand what it means for Texas to have a Dem fighting as hard as Beto is,for as long as Beto is,as relentlessly as Beto is,to flip this state. It’s not limited to office,it’s organisation,support structure,voter registration…all of it. It’s GOLD.

@GregAbbott_TX @SenBryanHughes @ShelbySlawson Meanwhile once out of the womb Abbot & GQP doesn’t give a lark. Be it removing mask orders in schools,furthering permitless carry,denial of health insurance or even taking care of foster children👇🏼Oh did I forget making voting for the youth as difficult as can be?.
Texas officials, including those in Gov. Greg Abbott's office, knew for months that foster children were illegally placed in an unsafe shelter. It didn't end until a whistleblower came forward.

Reminder: Texas fell in business ranking under Abbott. And now he’s openly, deliberately disrupting cross-border trade of essentials in a border state. And all of this just as a stunt.

Once again, when is Texas media going to cover the rising violence by Abbott supporters in Beto events? Today it got physical. How long before it gets worse?.

Most of the people applauding Abbott’s stunts are nowhere close to the border in Texas or not even from the state. Border communities are hurting coz most are dependent on cross border trade.This is going to backfire on Abbott while right wing media applauds the theatre.

Ted Cruz has not fought for anyone, a single day of his life. No one. Cruz is for Cruz only. He doesn’t give a damn about anyone, has no ethics, is devoid of morals & is only about leeching off taxpayer $ & living off the illusion of public service.

Once again I’m gonna SHOUT THIS OUT. EVERY FVCKED UP BILL BEGINS IN TEXAS & THE REST FOLLOW. If ur not invested in ensuring ABBOTT/PAXTON/PATRICK are voted out,no matter how ur state does,poison sowed in Texas will seep into the national scene. When GQP loses Texas,they are DONE.

Abbott is absolutely,doggedly,openly, without any shame whatsoever,decimating public education in Texas. The multi pronged attack is lethal. A great state run by lawless grifters,wannabe autocrats & on sale politicians. I really don’t understand how folks aren’t REALLY mad.

I just wish Texas had real effective Democratic Party leadership, amply supported by the DNC. It’s sickening how a state that’s rapidly changing and has 40EV to offer is consistently ignored by Dems. Instead investments are made in Florida which is turning redder by the day.

Not only does @GregAbbott_TX not have the guts to hold open town halls but he hasn’t a hope of a turnout like this.

Beto supporters volunteer at food banks & make wellness calls to seniors. @GregAbbott_TX supporters pour motor oil on sidewalks outside Beto events to injure folks & carry weapons to intimidate them. The choice cud not be clearer. Decency & compassion vs thuggery & violence.

Beto is lit. And how. Dragging this MF is the best of the best.
You’re in a Border Patrol boat armed with machine guns. The only threat you face is unarmed children and families who are seeking asylum (as well as the occasional heckler). If you’re looking for a crisis to cosplay Senator for, I’m happy to point you in the right direction.

@GregAbbott_TX Meanwhile cross border trade is halted & established trade routes are moving to AZ & CA,damaging Texas economy & creating supply chain issues.This is affecting border communities,manufacturing & will drive inflation up as goods & parts become sparse. Like Trumps trade wars.

U cannot catch him off guard. Legendary presence of mind. Laced with both humour and courtesy. The debates are going to be lit.
“If you want to look at the CAPITALIST.in the room, I’m right here buddy!”.—@BetoORourke . Beto’s has the perfect answer when a @GregAbbott_TX heckler accuses him of being a Communist. Beto was a entrepreneur and small business owner for 15 years. Abbott’s NEVER run a business.>

@GovAbbott U sued after ur accident.Won millions.Are still being paid monthly. Then ensured no one else can benefit from the same law by limiting payments to accidental injuries. To add to it,u opposed the Americans with Disabilities Act,calling it unconstitutional. This is who u r.

I’m gonna say this with full confidence. Beto winning will bring out the better side of Texas.The better side of Texans. It will ebb the hate & heal the division.He is a good man & has the best interests of EVERY TEXAN at heart.That will spill over & tinge the lives of everyone.

@GregAbbott_TX Yeah u used the opportunity to sue for $11 million and get paid monthly even now.Then as AG u changed the laws to ensure no one else can benefit like u.Followed it up by working against the American Disabilities Act & making Texas one of the WORST states for disabled people.

@reeseoxner @TexasTribune How long are folks gonna pretend to care for others & keep voting in the fvckers who allow this & worse to happen to children on their watch?Children with guns in school,children abused in foster care,children being targeted coz they r trans,now children trafficked by caregivers.

Dear @BetoORourke it’s time to flood the airwaves with ads.The retail campaigning is magnificent but it’s daily propaganda ads by Abbott that are having the required effect. Please focus on this too.The misinformation is gathering steam.U need to counter that.

Abbott is possibly worse than Cruz. He’s more cunning, more depraved, more power hungry and completely soulless. There is something wrong with a person who targets children. I believe he hates them.

@Dixie202021 @CaslerNoel By King Abbott’s authority. He wants that photo op and clap on the back as he attempts to finish a wall no one wants. So he can appeal to Trumps dwindling base for 2024.

In 2019, Beto did an interview with the surgeon who was dealing with El Paso victims. He explicitly laid out the effect of AR-15s. No one bothered much coz he was designated as an extremist for suggesting a buyback/ban. Today 60 mins covered the same topic and folks wake up.

There is no one like Beto.
Today I sent @BetoORourke this picture from a year ago. It’s such an embodiment of who he is that he immediately responded, “Red, White, and Buda!”. This man who campaigned all across the state remembered what town he was in a year ago and their cute name for their celebration.

If u look thru @GregAbbott_TX’s Twitter feed,the only time he goes on about the border is when a Democrat is President.He did it during Obama & now he’s back at it during Biden. He doesn’t give a damn about border & border communities.This is all theatre to boost his election.

I’m gonna say this clearly. Abbott & co are playing it dirty. It’s going to get worse.Nothing is off limits.They will try to drag Beto into the ditch where Abbott thrives.And they have propagandists & the right wing media machinery at their disposal. PUSH BACK WITH FACTS.

Ted fled the winterstorm for Cancun & blamed his daughter. Abbott fled after hearing about Uvalde to a fundraiser 300 miles away.Fled Austin when the families travelled to speak to him. Paxton fled his home to avoid an subpoena & used his wife to escape. Cowards running Texas.

U must understand that Beto has a target on his back post 2018.The Right wing propaganda machinery is paranoid about him.He’s the most powerful Dem of the largest GQP stronghold.With a proven record. It rattles the hell outta them that no matter how he falls,he’s back stronger.
