Maybe all the Beto hype in the media is clouding my judgement but this race is starting to make me nervous. As usual, it will all be about turnout. Even if they have an overall numerical disadvantage, the side with the most motivated supporters can give any candidate a fighting chance. Beto has a lot of money and some powerful forces behind him. I am especially worried about that big chunk of voters who are kind of in the middle and not especially committed, ideologically speaking. We all know there are a lot of people for whom a candidate's personality/likeability is the deciding factor - Cruz loses likely those votes. The race has not even really started yet so hopefully Ted can still rally the troops. My point is we better not just scoff at Beto, dismiss him and sleep on this - it looks like his momentum is building.

The influx of liberals from liberal states and the influx of illegals and the support of them by their sympathizers. There’s plenty right here on the green screen.

However, I think the mere fact Cruz offered these debates is enough reason to show that there is concern on his part. How in the world did Texas get to this point..

Jerp, Personally I've never thought Cruz was unlikable. But I get your point.
Folks who can't think logically or follow his reasoned arguments think he comes off as arrogant and lawyerly.
Not to dredge up old wounds but slanderous crap thrown at him from a certain other presidential candidate did a lot of damage to his stellar reputation even in the minds of people who agree with him on every issue.
Ted is a good friend to every freedom loving American and I hope people don't sit out on our side because of nasty politics.
