And is incapable of being honest. He will lie about anything to make himself look better, and is a fraud. Vote him out of office with that other serial liar Ted Cruz.

Given everything that we've seen and heard, I have absolutely no idea why anyone who is conscious would vote for either of them. Beto came historically close when he ran against Cruz, and he's rapidly catching up to Abbott. When Beto unseats Abbott, here's hoping that voters will realize that Cruz can be replaced, too. He's certainly given the voters more than enough reasons, yikes!

Beto and Mike will make a formidable team.

If 50% of Democrats/Democrat leaning voters turn out, we can do this.

Vote the Downballot and flip every seat with a Democrat running.

Those girls come in handy when Texas politicians get caught.
