A ton of volunteers. I bet Beto will get his pop-up offices. Releasing the campaign plan so publicly is the kind of stuff that draws volunteers into doing it. I think it's an exciting way to organize, and a good look at the talk-to-everyone strategy at any rate. Plus he has money.

By ensuring the voters of Texas know that he stands for the anthem at the oblong sports all game which he totally is a big fan of.

quote:

While the paucity of Cruz signs does not appear to reflect a lack of enthusiasm on the Republican side of the race, the decision has nonetheless begun to have a psychological impact in some communities, energizing O'Rourke backers and, at the very least, unnerving some Cruz voters.

The topic has come up repeatedly at Republican gatherings in recent weeks. On a telephone town hall Cruz held with supporters earlier this month, one caller introduced himself as an Uber driver from Keller who said he travels "all over the Mid-Cities and Tarrant County and whatnot, and Beto signs are everywhere." The man told Cruz he has "not seen one sign for you other than the one that's on my back patio." He asked whether the lack of signs was due to the Cruz campaign taking Republican-leaning Tarrant County for granted, or whether the campaign simply lacked the money to offer its supporters signs.

lol of course he is. And he's going to make a big show of standing during the anthem and whatnot. And it's the only place he won't be booed because for some dumb reason Ags insist on hissing to show disapproval.

Because Cruz doesn't get to unilaterally decide the debate schedule and locations. Beto's trying to get at least two in spanish, too.

Hmm upon further research

quote:

Rather than "booing", Aggies "hiss" to express disapproval. Aggies are not supposed to boo as a "sign of class", and are not supposed to hiss a fellow Ag.[5][9][11] Hissing is a part of a yell called a horse laugh, and usually is accompanied with a hand signal that consists of one's fingers open and palms clasped together, shaken backward and forward.[18]
vs

quote:

After the second verse is sung twice, Aggie fans link their arms and legs, and sway left and right to replicate the motion of a saw blade; this is called "sawing Varsity's horns off" (before the Texas football team adopting the Longhorn as the official mascot, the team was simply known as "Varsity"). When this happens during football games at Kyle Field, this causes the entire west upper deck, including the press box, to sway. This often unnerves sportswriters who haven't covered an Aggie game before
I've been to a lot of games at Kyle Field and it is insanely cool looking.

Yeah the second thing there is cool, though I don't think it sways anymore since the rebuild.

But hissing is dumb. Just boo and yell gently caress off like a normal person.

i just made up that hes going to an a&m game because i wanted to make a basketball ring joke. i dunno if he would do it. but putting lyin ted on the screen to assholishly say "please stand for the anthem :smug:" like the smarmy gently caress he is would be a very aggie thing to do.

They do that stupid saw the horns thing off at their own graduations, and I always find it incredibly sad that A&M is so obsessed with UT that they would be doing that poo poo at their graduations. They're like a spurned lover
