ZitatSAN ANTONIO — After a brief scare and a whole lot of liberal money flowing into Texas, Republicans think Sen. Ted Cruz has almost finished off his vaunted Democratic challenger, Rep. Beto O'Rourke.
While Cruz, R-Texas, and his allies are not saying publicly that they have the race in the bag, they are coming close with less than three weeks until Election Day and not even a week before early voting kicks off.
On Wednesday morning, Cruz told reporters that his opponent has grown "desperate." O'Rourke, D-Texas, had launched a trio of attack ads — on immigration, education, and healthcare — after leveling multiple broadsides in Tuesday night's final debate.
A victory for Cruz would be doubly sweet since it would help secure Republican control of the Senate, but also because there are a number of reports the Dems and their Liberal supporters have poured a ton of money into the O'Rourke campaign, even to the point of starving other contests. It would be a delight to see that all go down the drain.
We believe the survivors. Unless they fought in Benghazi.~~Navy Seal Robert J. O'Neill
