I posted about the Democrats chance to gain the senate with no response.
Here is Beto O'Rourke, who I think will beat Ted Cruz to gain a seat for the Democrats:
O'Rourke is the real deal and will be a star immediately if he wins. I think the fact that he running as a true progressive in Texas and having a lot of success should give establishment/centrist dems some pause about the kinds of messages that actually resonate with voters in redder states. Although, I suppose O'Rourke does benefit from having one of the most spineless, unlikable opponents out there.
Some of my favorite things about this race so far:
-Rafael "Ted" Cruz claiming that O'Rourke only goes by Beto for political gain.
-Cruz attempting to smear O'Rourke with the fact that he was once in a band and cool. (They are both only in their mid 40s, but Cruz loves posing as 75 year old.)
-Cruz appears to have gained 30-40 pounds over the last year or so.
