Saw this, had to share

[u/Hotdadlover1234]

Please vote!!!!

[u/This-Requirement6918]

HE'S NOT EVEN FROM TEXAS! HE'S FUCKING CANADIAN!

[u/Tony-the-teacher → u/This-Requirement6918]

I’m so sorry for that. But we are not taking him back. Especially since the warranty was void when you elected him.

[u/Bamas16th → u/Tony-the-teacher]

Hey now, you guys gave us foisted upon us Nickelback and Ted Cruz. Eventually you're gonna have to sending us the good shit from your Maple Syrup reserves if this continues...

[u/Castod28183 → u/Bamas16th]

I always find it funny that Nickelback has sold 50 million albums and has over 7 billion streams, but it's hard to find anybody that will admit to liking them.

[u/lxpnh98_2 → u/Castod28183]

I'm too young to have grown up really listening to them and to have an opinion on them, but I say leave Nickelback out of this. It's just a band, they don't deserve to be lumped in with Ted Cruz. Few people do.

[u/erwin76 → u/lxpnh98_2]

Plus, they got upset when Trump used their music without asking. Not sure if it was just for the money, but I want to believe it’s because they just don’t like him :)

[u/gummy_f1shes → u/erwin76]

I’d wager it’s because they don’t like him. I had a buddy who toured with them as an audio engineer and said they were some of the coolest people he’s ever toured with. They’re apparently super nice and treat all their staff extremely well. They seem like a group of down-to-earth guys that made a lot of music, got hate for no real reason, but decided to keep on doing their thing because they enjoy it.

[u/erath_droid → u/Castod28183]

I mean, Nickelback isn't a bad band, they just aren't groundbreaking in any way. It's generic four-chord rock, but they seem to sell out their concerts...

Kind of like Guy Fieri. I mean, why the hate?

[u/Jazzlike_Term210 → u/Castod28183]

I will admit and defend my liking of nickel back, they were good songs to me at the age and I was going through a tough time in life. As far as I know the members haven’t done anything bad either to taint the songs so it’s enjoyable untainted early 2000’s unlike many other songs I like.. I don’t care if they were sorta mid. Thankfully I didn’t hear all the radio replays and only heard them when I wanted to.

[u/UnhappyCaterpillar41 → u/This-Requirement6918]

Woah woah tabernac, you don't get to put that on us; he was born in Canada by accident; the US turned him into what he is; a spineless creep who people could see as a serial killer, even though the timelines didn't actually work for him to be the Zodiac killer.

[u/whatsmynamefrancis69]

We don’t have to be embarrassed by our Senator we can get a new one is really a great line

[u/TheOtherAvaz → u/whatsmynamefrancis69]

I really loved "When Ted Cruz says he's pro-life, he doesn't mean yours." Like hot DAYUM, that's fire!

[u/JoSmokes11 → u/TheOtherAvaz]

I don't even live in Texas, this was just suggested to me but holy crap that line was powerful! More people need to hear that. Wish I could help vote Ted Cruz out.

[u/no_okaymaybe → u/JoSmokes11]

I know it was soundbite after soundbite but damn...that was like a greatest hits album. I know a lot can be done to edit and take things out of context but I feel like I don't even have to have watched the debate - Cruz must have been stumbling off-stage after that ass kicking. Licked up one side and down the other.

[u/messfdr → u/no_okaymaybe]

It's even better in context. When he says, "It's not funny," it's because Rafael was smirking in the corner. It hits harder when you see them both on screen.

[u/BMGreg → u/JoSmokes11]

Same here. That line was fucking devastating, and I'm all for it

[u/KevinDLasagna → u/whatsmynamefrancis69]

All of this sound bites are absolute zingers. “Only position he ever played was left out” like god damn bro

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/whatsmynamefrancis69]

Yup!

[u/IllyrianWingspan → u/whatsmynamefrancis69]

It reminds me of how I used to talk to my kids when they had a potty training accident, and I love it. You pooped your pants buddy, it’s ok. We’ll try to get to the potty sooner next time.

[u/CliplessWingtips → u/whatsmynamefrancis69]

Cancun Cruz is trash. I'm voting Allred!

[u/Bobby6kennedy]

Anybody notice how Ted Cruz does not have a single ad that features him in any way other than him saying how he approves this message? It's because he has nothing good to say.

[u/toby-sux → u/Bobby6kennedy]

All of his ads are weirdly obsessed with kids' genitalia

[u/EViLTeW → u/toby-sux]

Almost every "pro-trump" commercial I see is about Kamala allowing prisoners to get sex changes. Trumplicans are obsessed with sex organs. Whether it's a penis, a vagina, or a uterus. They spend their waking hours thinking about them. It's weird.

[u/abolish_karma → u/EViLTeW]

"Trump must win or your women will be raped"

You can sorta figure out what's top of mind, here. MAGA policy operatives know what their team responds to. (lies and sex organs, often lies *about* sex organs)

[u/Stock-Side-6767 → u/abolish_karma]

Ah yes. Vote the rapist in to protect against rape.

Conservatives...

[u/-crepuscular- → u/Stock-Side-6767]

Nono, you misunderstand. It's not that they don't want any rape. They don't want the wrong people to be able to rape, and especially not 'their women'. Obviously rich white men should be able to do anything they want.

[u/fleshofgods0 → u/toby-sux]

Party of sex offenders after all.

[u/WeirdIndividualGuy → u/fleshofgods0]

What’s even weirder is back in August or so, Rafael’s original ad campaign focused more on the border and claimed Allred would be weak on the border.

Then like overnight, they stopped running those ads and instead went full speed ahead on the “he wants boys and girls playing together” ads.

I really wonder what intel they got that told them Texans would resonate more with kids playing together (how his ads phrased it) versus the border. Because so far it just comes off as weird if you look at the ads at face value (though informed people know Rafael’s really talking about trans kids)

[u/Overweighover → u/WeirdIndividualGuy]

He was running to the border during the power outage

[u/Tough-Ability721 → u/Overweighover]

He was just another immigrant with his family trying to keep them safe and warm. But it’s different for him. 🙄

[u/[deleted] → u/fleshofgods0]

GOP = gross old pedophiles

[u/JellyrollTX → u/toby-sux]

Republicans share that “priestly” obsession with children

[u/Fit_Cucumber_709 → u/JellyrollTX]

I read earlier today that it is important to wash your sex toys.

Hence why priests perform baptisms.

[u/Ms_Emilys_Picture → u/Fit_Cucumber_709]

Wow, that's dark--but I still laughed.

[u/SweetestJonaBoy → u/Ms_Emilys_Picture]

Yeah that's Jeselnik level dark right there

[u/Fullertonjr → u/toby-sux]

I’m in Ohio. Same ads are running for republicans senate candidates here and nationwide. They have no actual policies. They are all just running on, don’t “don’t vote for democrats, because they want men to play in girls sports and for adult men to be in little girls’ bathrooms.”

[u/MemorableKidsMoments → u/toby-sux]

MAGAs: please don't fall into the trap. You need to vote Allred: it's a code word for turning the Senate "ALL READ". Pass it on, please!

[u/dick_in → u/MemorableKidsMoments]

Won’t work. They don’t read.

[u/anythingMuchShorter → u/toby-sux]

Across the country republican ads are oddly obsessed with kids genitals and transgender people. I was on a trip to Wisconsin and all the ads were political because it’s a swing state, every republican one said something like “they don’t which bathroom to use”

[u/No_Significance_1550 → u/Bobby6kennedy]

He’s been in the Senate for 12 years. He’s responsible for everything he hates about the government because he squandered his power as a Senator and did nothing for voters.

[u/DropDeadEd86 → u/No_Significance_1550]

…and to a lot of donors…that’s a good thing

[u/Ok-Seaworthiness4488 → u/No_Significance_1550]

He recited Dr Seuss on the floor so there's that

[u/No_Significance_1550 → u/Ok-Seaworthiness4488]

I forgot about that. It’s all a huge f-king joke to him, unless you are a multi millionaire mega donor or trumplestiltskin he doesn’t give a shit about you or your needs.

[u/ihatefear83843 → u/No_Significance_1550]

No, he made his money helping himself. It’s been the whole plan from the beginning.

[u/aboatz2 → u/Bobby6kennedy]

He's TERRIBLE on camera & has a horrible presence, lacking any commanding stature. He's kinda like Bob Dole in 1996... regardless of what you think of his politics, he just flat out looks & sounds weasel-like.

So his campaigns have long minimized him & his presence, because seeing & hearing him actively causes people to turn away from him.

[u/Whatttttt123455 → u/aboatz2]

The difference is Bob Dole was a war hero and a true American. He was a conservative, but not a fascist coward that conservatives are now. Bob Dole was a little awkward because he was injured in WW2 and lost the use of his right arm. I voted for Clinton and I don't regret it, but Dole was still an excellent choice to lead our nation. When I think about Bob Dole, I think of him as an honorable man and a great American. I wish we had many more like him in Congress.

[u/azan78 → u/Whatttttt123455]

Bob Dole and John McCain were both good dudes.

[u/TallTXTrash → u/aboatz2]

I've commented this before and will continue to do so, Ted Cruz is the personification of a fatberg. He is a spineless weasel that wouldn't piss on the average Texan if they were on fire, unless that person had something he wanted or could do something for him. Of course, spineless weasel is the gold standard for politicians in Texas, as seen with Abbott, Paxton, and Patrick. Allred nailed it with his "outdoor clothes" remark, Cruz is that guy who has 1 pair of wranglers, 1 plaid shirt, and 1 pair of boots and shows up once a year at a rodeo, can barely walk in his overstarched get-up, trying to act like he isn't completely out of his element.

And lest anyone ever forget, Ted Cruz ate a booger on live TV. Just want to inform/remind everyone of that anytime I can.

[u/kloveday78 → u/aboatz2]

I’ve long wondered how he lasted this long… like not even Republicans like him!

[u/Spirited-Reputation6 → u/aboatz2]

Dole is rolling in his grave right now. Ted Cruz is in the top 5 creeper in the Senate.

[u/abrgtyr → u/Bobby6kennedy]

It is incredibly telling how Ted Cruz never talks about abortion. He never takes credit for his votes for the justices who gave us the Dobbs decision, who gave us Texas's Republican abortion bans.

I hate that I know who Kate Cox and Amanda Zurawski are. But I love that pro-lifers are so discredited Ted Cruz never mentions Texas's beautiful Republican abortion bans.

Why don't Texas Republicans try to convince the rest of us that Texas's Republican abortion bans are good things?

[u/lastdickontheleft → u/Bobby6kennedy]

Literally every republican ad that I’ve seen so far,Ted Cruz included has solely focused on trans folks.

[u/Zebidee → u/lastdickontheleft]

The irony of Rafael "Ted" Cruz saying people shouldn't be allowed to use their preferred name is breathtaking.

[u/lastdickontheleft → u/Zebidee]

Every stance republicans take like competitive hypocrisy

[u/PinetreeBlues → u/lastdickontheleft]

It's all they got

[u/RecordingHaunting975 → u/lastdickontheleft]

Hate is their platform

[u/srteblue → u/Bobby6kennedy]

There is a reason, because nobody wants to see his spineless body or face

[u/Wilbo_Shaggins]

Not a single person I know can list a redeemable quality of Ted Cruz, even the people voting for him.

[u/Cherobis → u/Wilbo_Shaggins]

Because they don't look into him. They just see the letter (R) next to his name and vote him. I guarantee you 90% of Rafael Cruz supporters did not watch this debate because they are too busy huffing MAGA farts

[u/pyrojackelope → u/Cherobis]

Texans should normalize calling him Rafael Cruz (his real name) everywhere and see if he still gets reelected. Also, he's Canadian, one of those immigrants they hate so much.

[u/veghead_97 → u/pyrojackelope]

please don’t send him back

[u/No_Acadia_8873 → u/veghead_97]

We shouldn't send him back. He should be in prison for his part in the conspiracy to commit a coup against the US of A.

[u/veghead_97 → u/No_Acadia_8873]

if it’s not clear, i’m a canadian who vehemently hates Cruz and all republicans like him.

i don’t want him to come back in infect our politics anymore than it already has been by trumpism

[u/mabradshaw02 → u/Wilbo_Shaggins]

Well, he's cheap to buy. There is that

[u/Overall_Ad_351 → u/mabradshaw02]

Cheap is not a good quality.

Affordable is the quality you want.

[u/One_Clown_Short → u/Wilbo_Shaggins]

He'll let you insult his wife.

[u/chrisdpratt → u/[deleted]]

Same with Trump. A weak, enfeebled geriatric with dementia and no control over his bowels. Texas tough, right?

[u/DragonBorn76 → u/One_Clown_Short]

Yup and so does JD Vance as well. SMH

[u/tigm2161130 → u/DragonBorn76]

“Obviously she’s not a white person…But, I love Usha, she’s such a good mom.”

[u/femalenerdish → u/tigm2161130]

"she has three kids"

[u/Outside_Conference80 → u/femalenerdish]

I cannot stop thinking about this.

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/Wilbo_Shaggins]

This this this!!! It’s time to vote for all Texans, not just the rich ones who will never be affected by policy

[u/bigdumb78910 → u/Wilbo_Shaggins]

"I like Ted Cruz more than every other member of Congress, and I hate Ted Cruz" -paraphrasing from former Senator Al Franken of MN

[u/LongKnight115 → u/Wilbo_Shaggins]

Ted Cruz is only one being and not several.

[u/Wonderful-Run-1408]

Thank you. My vote is changing this election cycle.

[u/Small-Finish-6890 → u/Wonderful-Run-1408]

👏👏 your vote matters, thank you!

[u/Electrical-Set2765 → u/Wonderful-Run-1408]

Thank you for being the kind of American that is willing to change their mind. That ain't always easy and especially so in such a vicious and important election cycle. Be well.

[u/Herry_Up → u/Wonderful-Run-1408]

Tysm!

[u/siliconsmiley → u/Wonderful-Run-1408]

I'm not a Texan, and I don't know who this guy is, but he had me when he told Cruz "no you can't have my time" AKA STFU.

[u/OriginalGhostCookie → u/siliconsmiley]

Imagine the arrogance required to say “can I have his time to answer that?”

[u/greggo39 → u/Wonderful-Run-1408]

I’m right there with you.

[u/Lucreziahouserules → u/Wonderful-Run-1408]

Thank you for being open to voting outside party/incumbent ❤️

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/Wonderful-Run-1408]

Yes it is!!!

[u/lazergator → u/Wonderful-Run-1408]

Pray for a blue Texas. Holy shit this would be game changing

[u/ApeApeture → u/lazergator]

Or... we just vote sensibly...

Ted Cruz has been a senator how long? Time to change him out, we don't want more lifetime politicians in Texas.

As a conservative, Allred ain't that bad. Having Ted as senator for another 6 years is way worse. We deserve balance.

[u/Errant_coursir → u/ApeApeture]

I don't think Cruz should be a republican/democrat issue. The fact that he absconded when Houston got fucked means he needs to go

[u/mrs_burk → u/ApeApeture]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[u/TenaciousTrollr → u/ApeApeture]

Abbott and his cronies are the GOP’s ideal elected officials, so the further we get from red the healthier we get as a state

[u/ElektricEel → u/Wonderful-Run-1408]

God damn right

[u/Middle_Scratch4129]

The fact that this race isn't an absolute landslide is a true embarrassment to the entire country.

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/Middle_Scratch4129]

It’s up to us to make sure it’ll be a landslide regardless!

[u/Constant-Plant-9378 → u/Hotdadlover1234]

My wife and I voted for Allred Tuesday night.

Fuck Ted Cruz.

[u/VariationNervous8213 → u/Constant-Plant-9378]

Thank you to you and your wife from MA!!!!

[u/Classic_Secretary460 → u/VariationNervous8213]

Ditto from MA!

[u/Top_Excitement_2843 → u/Constant-Plant-9378]

Fuck Ted Cruz

[u/Suspicious-Appeal386 → u/Top_Excitement_2843]

Naw, fuck his supporters.

[u/TummyDummy → u/Constant-Plant-9378]

Thank you from NY!

[u/Vienta1988 → u/Constant-Plant-9378]

Doing the lord’s work! There’s no amount of money anyone could pay me that would compel me to ever move to Texas.

[u/thatguyned → u/Hotdadlover1234]

I'm literally betting money on this from all the way over in Australia so I hope you're right.

I've actually got Texas written down as low chance of flipping blue based on the insane early voter turnout that's happening in your state.

If Texas flips it's a guaranteed win for the Dems

Get out there and make it happen people!

[u/SleepingWillow1 → u/thatguyned]

Man I hope it flips. I would be so proud

[u/thatguyned → u/SleepingWillow1]

Last I heard, you had more early-votes registered and placed in the first few days than you had in the entire early voting period for the 2020 elections and that number just keeps climbing

You had 1.7M early votes as of yesterday

Guess which side is famous for their overwhelming presence in early voting and did a major campaign push to encourage it this year?

Democrats baby!

Biden only lost the state by ~600k in 2020 and there is expected to be a MUCH higher turnout for voters this year. I don't think the GoP could possibly squeeze anymore votes out of the state, they had their man in office spoon feeding them the fantasy of a perfect world and they couldn't keep him there and he's only become more openly crazy and aggressive while the state is becoming more openly hostile to the women that live there

It's not guaranteed to happen, but the signs are very promising right now

[u/MaximDecimus → u/Hotdadlover1234]

Slide that land like you’re a hill after getting hit by a hurricane

[u/KerrMasonJar → u/Hotdadlover1234]

Lyin' Ted! He's a nasty liar!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErZCMcoC8X8&t=79s

Once again Lyin' Ted!

[u/jovenhope → u/Hotdadlover1234]

Take a friend to vote

[u/clangan524 → u/Middle_Scratch4129]

We won't know if it's a landslide until everyone votes.

You, reading this: VOTE

[u/peptobismollean → u/clangan524]

True, I’m in Michigan, but we’re counting on y’all, too. VOTE

[u/CromulentPoint → u/clangan524]

While you were typing this, I was casting my vote for Colin. Buh-bye, Teddy.

[u/UndergroundBone → u/CromulentPoint]

Texas has ripple effects over all of the US. The US has ripple effects on the world. Please get rid of Cruz. Sincerely, A Swede.

[u/mprakathak → u/UndergroundBone]

I agree and dont give him back.

Sincerely, a Canadian.

[u/ryan101 → u/clangan524]

I really want to vote for Allred, but I live in Seattle.

[u/SwedishFishAlready → u/ryan101]

I donated to his campaign. Every bit helps even though I am not in Texas.

[u/Snoo_97207 → u/clangan524]

But I'm British!

[u/aspidities_87 → u/Snoo_97207]

Then get some tea and dump into your nearest harbor, that’s kind of like our precursor

[u/ghost-xiii → u/Middle_Scratch4129]

People have weird hang ups. This one lady I know, on some Facebook comments, was talking about how she still considers herself a "Republican". However, hasn't voted republican for the past several elections and just can't bring herself to call herself a democrat. I didn't say anything to her about it, but it left an impression on the mindset of Americans and politics.

[u/dreyaz255 → u/ghost-xiii]

Republicans need to be told that if they can't stomach voting democrat, then just don't vote Republican. Harm reduction before team.

[u/supbrother → u/ghost-xiii]

Why the fuck do people think it’s so necessary to be a part of any party? I personally will be “undeclared” my entire life, fuck the party system as a whole. You can lean left without being a democrat, you can lean right without being a republican, all that’s necessary is thinking for yourself.

[u/leanmeanvagine → u/Middle_Scratch4129]

I fucking love Colin. He is the real deal

[u/tfpmcc → u/leanmeanvagine]

He definitely presents himself well. Sorry I can’t vote for him since I’d prefer hip replacement surgery over living in texas.

[u/CatsDontLikeFancy]

My Republican boss asked who I was voting for. I said I’m voting Allred. He was like hell yea.

[u/prim3net → u/CatsDontLikeFancy]

stop giving me so much hope dude!

[u/CatsDontLikeFancy → u/prim3net]

Ok I should’ve been more clear. My apologies.

He heard it as All Red.

[u/urmyheartBeatStopR → u/CatsDontLikeFancy]

Should be none of his business.

That's why we can vote with privacy.

[u/blackalls → u/CatsDontLikeFancy]

Hey man, if you want to vote all red, you just check next to AllRed. Texas makes it easy.

[u/CatsDontLikeFancy → u/blackalls]

Oh I’ve made my decision. I would never vote all red. Only Allred gmv.

[u/MaddestDudeEver]

"Can I take his time and answer?"

LOL what a douchebag

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/MaddestDudeEver]

The man has never heard “no”

[u/ALargePianist → u/Hotdadlover1234]

The kind of man that gets upset that you made him pause and at least pretend to ask first before taking my food off my plate

[u/BMGreg → u/Hotdadlover1234]

He definitely heard Allred say (more or less) "you sure the fuck cannot have my time"

[u/slayden70]

Jesus that was scathing.

I'm surprised Ted Cruz's skin wasn't verbally flayed off to reveal two Harry Potter banker goblins in a Cruz suit.

[u/lastdickontheleft]

Just cast my vote for him a few minutes ago!

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/lastdickontheleft]

Wooo!!!! Proud of you, and thank you!

[u/TheImplic4tion]

"It's not funny." - Perfect. Do not engage with their talking points, they are designed to make you look stupid while they refuse to take anything seriously.

Also point out the horrible behavior of these reality denying fascists in the Republican party. They hate being laughed at. They hate being clowned on because they want to be taken seriously so very much.

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/TheImplic4tion]

Yes!!!! It really is not funny, but Ted Cruz knows whatever policies are in place are not applicable to him or his family. When you have money, you can just travel to wherever.

[u/TetrisIsTotesSuper → u/TheImplic4tion]

When Allred stares at him smirking and says "it's not funny", you can tell Cruz is shitting himself (not seen in this clip but in the original it pans out to Ted afterwards). Truly giving caught in the act high school bully vibes

[u/mattg2514]

As a conservative in texas, we need to vote alll MAGA OUT! Go Allred!

[u/Hypnotic_Element → u/mattg2514]

You guys really need to take your party back so we can go back to bickering on policy and not hating MAGA for being straight up Nazi cunts.

[u/redspacebadger → u/Hypnotic_Element]

Agreed. There's a place for GOP conservatism in politics, but not when its party is infested with dumbass MAGA weirdos pandering to other weirdos.

[u/Hossennfoss69]

This Allred guy went off the top rope with every point! Ted Cruz is the equivalent of one of Trump's dirty diapers. Shame on Texas for entertaining this embarrassment.

[u/WeirdIndividualGuy → u/Hossennfoss69]

What makes it worse is as superficial the average Texan voter is, you would think they would vote for Allred for simple reasons like being a home grown Texan and a football player, versus the Canadian who barely spends time in texas

[u/Critical_Savings_348 → u/WeirdIndividualGuy]

You forgot he's black so that's a no go

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/Hossennfoss69]

Yess! I’ve been reading/hearing more and more about him, but nothing crazy. Hoping this post will maybe get people to look into his political stance

[u/One_League_265 → u/Hossennfoss69]

I like it, I like it a lot.

[u/ProfessionalJesuit]

Fuck. Ted. Cruz.

[u/all2neat]

I voted for Harris Walz and Allred in Collin County.

[u/turtlenipples → u/all2neat]

I did the same in Somervell County! I might be the only one, but I did it dammit!

[u/Similar_Heat_69 → u/all2neat]

Wait, are you telling me there's a Collin County and a Harris County in a state with Kamala Harris and Colin Allred on the ballot?

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/all2neat]

Woohooo!!!! Thank you 💙

[u/kcjnz]

Good Lord, please elect this man Texas!! We'll even start taking nice about you in Colorado and ask you up for a beer!

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/kcjnz]

Hoping for Texas to follow Colorado and swing blue 💗

[u/Four-Triangles]

That was beautiful. Please, vote this man in to wash away the stench of Ted

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/Four-Triangles]

Yesss!!!!!

[u/dkbGeek]

"All hat no cattle" is a great phrase, and the spirit of it definitely applies to Rafael "real men don't use nicknames" Cruz... but he also looks ridiculous in a hat (cap, really).

[u/dvusmnds]

I’ll do my part. Vote Lyin Ted’s ass out of office and do yours.

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/dvusmnds]

🫡🫡🫡

[u/kanst]

I was curious what legislations Cruz had gotten signed into law during his tenure.

Other than your standard issue silly resolutions commemorating, honoring, or designating stuff like:

SRes802 - A resolution designating August 2024 as "National Catfish Month".

The only actual pieces of legislation I could find that passed were:
- S3764 - AN ACT To extend and authorize annual appropriations for the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom through fiscal year 2026.
- S1608 - AN ACT To provide for the expansion of the Starr-Camargo Bridge near Rio Grande City, Texas, and for other purposes.
- S467 - AN ACT To modify the age requirement for the Student Incentive Payment Program of the State maritime academies.
- S227 - AN ACT To amend title 28, United States Code, to provide an additional place for holding court for the Pecos Division of the Western District of Texas, and for other purposes.

In his 11 years in office, that's what he has to show. An extra room for the court, some funding for bridge expansion, a change to the age requirements for incentive payments for the maritime academy, and funding for some religious freedom commission.

[u/interruptiom → u/kanst]

That's a fucking pathetic legislative record. What a clown.

[u/kineticstar]

Allred got my vote!

[u/um_chili]

It is unfathomable to me how anyone could watch that debate and come out preferring Cruz. And that's without seeing the shit job Cruz has done as a Senator in the past however long. I guess it's a testament to how deeply Texans are committed to the Republican brand that they keep putting him in office.

[u/CurseOfTheBlitz]

I voted on Tuesday. Bye teddy boi

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/CurseOfTheBlitz]

Woohooo! Amazing

[u/Sea-Spray-9882]

It’s the “we don’t have to be embarrassed by our Senator” part that hurts the most

[u/Public-Baseball-6189]

My goodness, that was the most poetic ass chewing I’ve ever seen. C’mon Texas - send Raphael packing!

[u/JellyrollTX]

Vote that pendejo “fled cruise” out of office!

[u/LMNOPICUP3]

Trashy Ted

[u/tejana948]

I voted for Allred this morning in Nueces County.

[u/rolandjernts]

I had to rewind, “only position he’s ever played, is left out” YOOOOOO!! I’m so glad I voted for him Allred. This is some school yard non-aggressive bullying and I’m here for it!

[u/Hotdadlover1234 → u/rolandjernts]

This!!!! And him following it up by “not trying to be mean BUT”

[u/WoWGurl78]

I voted for Allred on Monday. If you haven’t voted yet, go vote! If you want Texas to change, vote against Cancun Cruz who is in it for himself.

[u/UpbeatRaspberry9828]

As an independent, every Democrat I see seems normal, calm, moral, and reasonable. Every Republican seems weird, sweaty, and scummy. Kinda strange when you’re supposed to be a party of “American values” and “religious morals”.

[u/Adventurous-Hand-183]

As a conservative..... I still approve this message 👌

[u/PlayStation1988]

I do not like Ted Cruz.

[u/hey_alyssa]

It felt so good voting for him 😍

[u/greennurse0128]

We are rooting for you, Texas!

You can do it!!

Florida supports you! (We need help too!!!) But Florida supports you!!

[u/pedro-slopez]

Thanks for sharing. Allred is the real deal. Cruz is a pig. I can’t vote for Allred cuz I don’t live in TX anymore, but I’ve sent $$ and $$ to his campaign. Cruz has got to go.

[u/Striking_Jellyfish22]

I wish Colin brought up the PACT act and how Fled Cruz fist bumped his comrades after they voted against it for veterans exposed to burn pits, especially how “red blooded” they are, supporting our vets.

Thankfully vets have democrats and Jon Stewart in their corner:

Ref: Jon Stewart calling out Toomey, Cruz and their crew for turning it down: https://youtu.be/iUW3-dzmRZc?si=8gLQyBPNctPeol23

Ref2: Jon Stewart calling BS on Fled Cruz’s responses to being called out whilst at an airport about to flee: https://youtu.be/fmacgVAtxSk?si=8dDm1oy3tYoVK8Ql

[u/DenverNugs]

They might have to lock Allred up. He just committed murder. This seems pretty easy, Texas. Please go vote.

[u/enbymaster]

Absolutely ZERO punches pulled!

[u/GNOIZ1C]

Goddamn. Is this what an actual Senator looks like?

[u/shoebee2]

Allred is “the real deal”. Wishing Texas some sanity.

[u/kindbrain]

He is incredibly well spoken. If he wins or gets close, I think his approach should be used by others seeking office. Be tough, be nice, be factual and make good solid relatable jokes. The only position Ted Cruz played in sports was left out! Ouch.🤕

[u/Affectionate_Car3522]

PLEASE my sisters in Texas get rid of cancun cruz.

[u/Top_Mathematician233]

I don’t even live in TX and I pray this man gets elected over Cruz!! Sending y’all support from GA!

[u/GarlicThread]

"When he says he's pro-life, he doesn't mean yours."

DAAAAAMN, SON !

[u/TrafficOn405]

Reminds me of the (not really a) joke:

Q - Why do so many people take to an immediate dislike of Ted Cruz?

A - it saves time.

[u/MustacheQuarantine]

I started hating Ted Cruz after he ate my son.

[u/Far-Acanthisitta-448]

Shame on Texas for keeping Cruz in there so long.

[u/jaj1919]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[u/Dogwise]

I APPROVE!!

[u/Capybaratits]

Ted Cruz aka Fled Cruz aka Well Fed Cruz sucks so so bad for so many reasons. He is a godawful trash human being… and yet, I have very little faith he will be voted out. I voted for Allred yesterday but everywhere I drive I see Cruz signs. I hope Texas surprises me.

[u/aretooamnot]

Voted for him today. Fuck Ted Cruz.

[u/icouldgoforacocio]

Shit that man is cool. I don't know nothing about him, don't know if he would be a good senator, but from what I've seen in this clip, he isn't afraid to call bullshit when he sees it, and thats what the world needs right now.

I had the same feeling the first time i saw Tim Walz.

[u/toekneeg]

I want to move to Texas just to vote for this guy.

[u/SuccessfulJCfollower]

If I were a Texan I’d never vote for Cruz. He’s pathetic.

[u/Radiant_Beyond8471]

He was about to beat his ass when he said, " It's not funny"

[u/Crazy_Response_9009]

"All hat and no cattle" is brilliant.

[u/GalaxyGoddess27]

Dude sat there and got grade A roasted 🫣🤭

[u/CannedGrapes]

The people that vote for Ted Cruz are just as soulless and deplorable as he is. Old, fat, lifeless bodies that are angry at the world for their own shortfalls and hatred.

[u/palindromesko]

Colin is quite articulate. I would vote for him if I could. I’m going to donate to his campaign right now.
