Beto is going to win.

[pamela]

That is 50% affirmation to the universe and 50% gut feeling.


Beto will win.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. How much I hope you're right! n/t

[Adrahil]

2. I would love that!

He’s a gem! Nothing but positive thiughts till Tuesday!

[Dem_4_Life]

3. I agree 100%

So much more enthusiasm here than even when Obama won!

[pamela]

16. I've never seen anything like it.

I belong to an RV group based in Texas that handles mail forwarding for Texas resident, fulltime travelers. Lots of excitement about Beto and ZERO for Cruz. This group usually skews R and that's an understatement. I also have never seen this much talk about voting in the midterms.

Beto will win.

[american_ideals]

56. Please please please

Go hard now.

But even if Beto loses, he's galvanized a lot of people. He'll have a chance of becoming President some day.

[WheelWalker]

4. I'll second voice that !!

[LincolnRossiter]

5. Beto is so awesome. I'm not as optimistic that he'll win, but he has a chance...

I just feel as though he was born in the wrong state. This guy in Georgia, Florida, NC, AZ, or CA would be lightening in a bottle. But maybe he's right where he needs to be. Even if he doesn't pull it off this year, maybe he'll still be the one to break Texas open.

[nolabear]

6. Lord I hope so! Just watching him gives me hope.

He’s the best I’ve seen in a while. If he and Gillum win I’ll be a happy woman.

[nycbos]

7. Do you want to tempt the wrath from high atop the thing?

[elleng]

8. LOLOL!!!

[pamela]

17. Lol-love this

Ok, I'll go outside, turn around three times and spit.

[TommyCelt]

72. :O

Spit...curse...do EVERYTHING!

[mvd]

9. I think you could be right

This has a good chance of being a race where we do better than the polls show. They can't gauge all the new enthusiasm. I really like him and maybe could be a VP candidate in 2020 if willing.

[monmouth4]

10. If Beto wins Texas and Gillum wins in Florida, they could change the South in a big way. n/t

[PeeJ52]

31. Don't forget Abrams!!!

That is one sharp lady...

[40RatRod]

45. Yes she is one sharp lady...

I had the privilege of voting for her today. Unfortunately, this is Georgia. People I would consider intelligent are still voting for Kemp. I just can't understand it.

[monmouth4]

49. Definitely, love her. n/t

[Takket]

46. and even if Beto loses.......

the reality for the GOP is that the demographics of Texas are changing, and if they lose Texas....... they can pretty much forget about ever holding the white house again.

This is one of the reasons they are so dead set against immigration.

[Qutzupalotl]

11. I feel it too.

If not senator in 2019, then president in 2021. He is the right person at the right time; one who understands what America was founded on, and who remembers a time when we aspired to be better.

[pamela]

60. Senator 2019

President 2028 after 8 years of President Kamala Harris.

[Bradshaw3]

12. That would be the cherry on top of a Democratic wave

That young man is impressive. Very inspiring.

[Glimmer of Hope]

13. Come on Texas!

[Satch59]

14. He's so impressive! Always wonder if college kids are really polled?

He has huge enthusiasm with them and there are a LOT of big colleges in TX!

Chris Matthews I think has got "that tingle up his leg"...he's in love it seems...

[Mystery sage]

15. I agree

Smokes in deep the optimism drug~~ahhh I hope Beto crushes Cruz hopefully the 10 points cruz is leading in gets his people to not worry themselves to the polls (as he seems to be taking a victory lap) and turn his victory into a -10 defeat when the only poll on election day shows Betos win.

Go Beto our Texan Pride.

[Bfd]

18. Yes. The BETO SONG. Play it whenever doubt creeps into your head like a Ted Cruz bad dream

[cannabis_flower]

48. Love it..

Love the Cruz control scene where Ted is in a car with a fat cat!

[Bfd]

55. I love it too. A feel-great song that never gets old

Ha!
"Here ya go BETO"

I feel like we've been given a political breakthrough today.
Its been so long..

[Le Gaucher]

19. Hear !! Hear!!! From your Mouth to God's Ear!!

[joet67]

20. good

hope you are psychic

[kyburbonkid]

21. Make it happen and VOTE!

Go Texas go.

[Blue_true]

22. He is closing strong.

I hope that cause the weak for Ted and on the fencers to flip Beto's way.

[muntrv]

23. GOTV my friends.

[Stargleamer]

24. 100% Beto deserves to win

I know of no other Senatorial candidate who has ever tried so much to win as he has

[Garion_55]

25. if there is a God, yes.

but satan might get his way again too 8-(

[colsohlibgal]

26. He Is Closing Strong!

The tragic events of the last few days and the erratic desperate behavior of our juvenile acting fuhrer seem to be giving us a big boost in the home stretch. We surely need to at least take the House to check that loser.

[Mr.Bill]

27. I watched him today with Chris Matthews.

The idea that that anyone could vote for an asshole like Ted Cruz after listening to Beto is very disturbing indeed.

[walkingman]

28. If the people will get out and vote - it will be so wonderful to rid ourselves of these nasty folks.

[DontBooVote]

41. I live in NE Tarrant Co. Texas (red hell) and...

I've lived in these parts since before I cast my first vote in 1982 and I have never, ever seen an election like this! The energy here in Texas is incredible and, from my own observations volunteering for our local and national candidates at early voting locations, Beto is going to win and we might even take away a state rep and senate seat. Dems seem to be voting and, if I'm estimating, we're at about 54% vs. their 46%.

Vote Texas Democrats, VOTE! Lives literally depend on your vote!

[elleng]

42. Oh THANKS, Boo! VOTE!

Welcome!

[DontBooVote]

44. Thank you, elleng!

[pamela]

43. Welcome to DU!

Thanks for that info. I'm seeing that excitement too!

[DontBooVote]

59. Awesome, pamela! And thanks for the welcome :)

[Stonepounder]

29. I watched him on Hard Ball tonight.

Holy mackerel! I've read about Beto and seen short clips. I've been for him even if I'm not a Texas resident. But seeing him in person, listening to his passion, his enthusiasm, and his genuineness is totally awesome. He's a progressive who knows he can't get everything he wants and is totally willing to work across the aisle to find common ground and compromises that can work.

I think we are going to show the world a slate of amazing candidates for the Democratic candidate for President in 2020!!!

And GO BETO!!!!

[DeminPennswoods]

50. The college kids sure seemed to love him

nt

[BlueTsunami2018]

30. Few things would give me greater pleasure.

Than seeing that smug piece of shit Cruz go down.

Go Beto!

[grantcart]

62. I think he is going to win but even if he hasn't he has ended Ted Cruz

Effort to seek higher office.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

32. Upset of the evening

I agree he will surprise everyone. I'm hoping Steve Kornacki chokes on it.

[Raster]

63. I'm sure Log Cabin Steve will have a pearl-clutching moment or two.

[vercetti2021]

33. He'll win by 2

Fuck every poll especially that CBS one

[MadDAsHell]

34. Bookmarked. nt

[ashredux]

35. I just moved back to Texas

I made sure I could get registered so I could vote for Beto...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. I really think traveling to every county has crystalized his message

[appalachiablue]

37. Beto is terrifc! what I've seen of him in the last debate, on Hardball tonite.

Bravo to Stacey Abrams in Ga., and Andrew Gillum in Fla. too!

[Tiggeroshii]

38. Make some calls. Knock some doors (if in texas) and donate!!

[uponit7771]

39. His message to students is encouraging, you might be correct

[marble falls]

40. I'm with you. Voted for him today.

[pamela]

57. Mailed our absentee ballots Friday.

Ranked up there as one of my all-time favorite votes.

[marble falls]

58. I'm pretty skeptical of young ex-entertainer politicians, but I gotta say ...

he's composed, well spoken, deeply thought out, unbaitable. I think the fact he's so poised and will not rise to to baiting has kind of unnerved Cruz.

[VOX]

47. I agree, but my incurable "magical-thing" mechanism shouts, "Don't put a whammy on it!"

So I have no specific opinion at this time (like hell I don't, GO BETO!).

[Cary]

51. I will add my vibes to the effort

Perhaps we can all make it happen? The experimenter can affect the expiriment and Heisinger's Uncertainty Principle and all of that.

[peacebuzzard]

52. He is really starting a winning momentum

So positive! Wishing for a Blue 🌟 state

[IrishEyes]

53. I really hope so but we should still work like hell to make sure.

We have to fight until election day.

If he wins, I might move to Texas.

[Turbineguy]

54. That would be nice.

[mudstump]

61. I hope he wins...we

need a win desperately both in terms of numbers in the Senate and for our emotional welfare.

[oasis]

64. Thank you.

[R B Garr]

65. Love it! He is beyond impressive!

He has such a future!

[pdsimdars]

66. That would certainly be a sign from the Universe.

[Vinca]

67. I hope so. He's the best candidate who has appeared in years.

[BlueJac]

68. I hope so!

[disillusioned73]

69. I hope so..

[dem in texas]

70. He has a tall mountain to climb

Beto's my guy, I voted earlier this week, straight Dem ticket. The main problem for Beto is there are thousands more registered Republicans in Texas than Democrats.

In past elections, the Democrats have had good people running, but all were dull as dishwater. Finally we have a candidate with the "it" factor.

I am rubbing my rabbit's foot. throwing salt over my shoulder, keeping my fingers crossed and asking everyone I know to go vote for Beto. And Lupe Valdez, and the Dem who is running against our soon to be attorney general felon, Ken Paxton.

[lillypaddle]

71. From your mouth

to god's ears.

[leftieNanner]

73. I'm sending out the same vibes to the universe

We are going to take both the House and the Senate!

And Beto is awesome!

[Catherine Vincent]

74. God I hope so!

[LiberalLovinLug]

75. I don't think he will win, but he'll move the needle, which is great

Its way too close for any Democrat to win down there. The latest polls show Cruz ahead, and we know that all they need is to get within a few points behind even and combined with voter suppression, machine tally changes, reduced voting hours, closing polling stations, fake news spread on FB, and a constant stream of fear blasting from all of Texas's daytime talk radio "Caravan!!!!" or whatever is the fear de jour.

Because it seems to always work out that when there is any close race, somehow its the Republican that wins out. Even if the exit polls go the other way.

But what will come out of it is Texan's introduction to Beto. And the new face he put on the Democratic party for average Texans. The fact that he will come close will be a step forward. For his stature in that State. In fact, this sets up Beto for a run at the Presidency with a lot of cred built up back home. If not in 2020, then 2024, or 28 depending.

[Liberal In Texas]

76. Here's hoping. n/t

[Blue Owl]

77. And Cruz is gonna luz

[stuffmatters]

78. I just can't fathom how anyone with a brain or heart could vote Cruz over Beto

C'mon Texas, make America proud of you!

[BlueDog22]

79. I Don't Know

But he is in striking distance.

[TygrBright]

80. From your keyboard to the Divine Monitor! n/t

[AlexSFCA]

81. I have the gut feeling too

and if he wins, he is our next president, no doubt. If you can win Texas, you can win anywhere
