Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Nobody likes him, not even his own constituents. They're just idiots who vote R without even thinking about the alternative because reality causes cognitive dissonance.
Cruz always struck me as the kind of guy who wouldn't give a damn if he was removed from congress. He often splits from his party and does stuff to piss off his own voters.
If a Democrat wins a statewide election in Texas that would send shockwaves through the American political norms. It'd be the Georgia 2020 Senate elections and runoffs but on steroids. Serious Republicans know that when (not if) Texas becomes a presidential election swing state it's just about over. The Democrats could ignore Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida to focus solely on winning Texas... meanwhile a cash strapped GOP would have to fight in Texas while also spending money in all those other swing states. They haven't had to really fight for Texas since like 1980, they might not even have the ground game infrastructure to pull it out of a tail spin if Texas goes purple. The Republican party would still be around in the Senate, House, and governor's mansions, but hope for a Republican president would be over for like a decade at least... if the party doesn't crumble from such an event, with donors fleeing to found new parties.
Brb, moving to Texas.
Why do you think the Republicans have been so focused on turning Florida and Texas into such distasteful MAGAt breeding grounds? They know if they lose either one, they're done for.

The last time we were sure that we were gonna flip Texas blue was November of 2016. Nothing is done until the voting and the inevitable Republican post-election violence are over. This is fundraising propaganda designed to frighten his party faithful, not an accurate statement about how he currently feels in this election cycle. But it is possible, and would be pretty amazing if we could make it happen. Vote, donate, do the work.
Here in Texas, we can vote all blue AND Allred, at the same time.
You should be this man's campaign manager, because that might actually work on Texans
Maybe he could run off to a tropical destination while this blows over, too.
Ted is one of the biggest AIPAC recipients this is great news.
I’ll be doing my part to see this asshole off to Cancun or wherever the fuck else for good.
Vote, y’all!
Please, and fuck Ted Cruz. Piece of fucking shit.
Rafael Cancun?
Turd Cruds
Fled cruz
I enjoy calling his office and asking how much money the RNC has sent. They sigh, I giggle.
Ted Cruz is a spineless snake-swine with no sense of morality and definitely no desire to do what's right for anyone but himself.
Anywhere else in the world he would expect to lose it
Slowly going purple. Their cushy time is over
Time to donate!
Fuck I hope so
