When your own family goes on TV and says "This guys a gently caress up, do not vote for him", how badly did you ruin Christmas/Thanksgiving over the years?

I was waiting for some out of context bait and switch.

But no, it’s just Beto saying black men shouldn’t be killed in their own home without a warrant and then shamed for having some weed in the kitchen.

I still can't figure out if Cruz is playing it exactly right or exactly wrong.

Beto's problems are that he's not winning hispanic voters like you'd expect (he's only up about 50-35), and he's very much a liberal deep in the heart of Texas. Beto's main popularity base is nationwide, but he's JUST popular enough in Texas to make it close (polls are a mess, Cruz +9, Beto +2, etc.). That said, it helps that Beto is not a rampaging dickweed like Cruz.

Cruz's bet is that Texas is still Republican as hell, so all he has to do is turn out the conservatives and that's that. Therefore, Cruz is chucking out lots and lots and lots of really, really, really dumb red meat. It doesn't matter if he truly believes that the Dallas cop should keep her badge and gun (said today during the debate), he thinks that dumb bullshit will turn out his voters. He's running his strategy, even if it looks like he is goddamn terrible at everything.

This might be like the 2016 Missouri Jason Kander (D) - Roy Blunt (R) Senate race. Kander ran an absolutely fantastic campaign, with national attention, and roughly the right messages for the state, but Missouri is still Missouri and he lost by 3%. Even with commercials like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wqOApBLPio
