Democrats are hoping to flip Senator Ted Cruz's seat in Texas. Rep. Colin Allred joins José Díaz-Balart to talk about his debate with Cruz last night and to share more on his policy views regarding immigration.
There’s a reason no Democrat has accomplished a statewide victory in Texas since 1994. Pulling off such an upset would require a uniquely talented politician running an almost perfect campaign. That candidate would need to display discipline, calm and poise. Be telegenic and quick on the feet. The candidate would need to be thoroughly Texan and have an identity infused with elements of the state’s cultural zeitgeist.
On a different Fox appearance, Cruz lashed out at his own party — attacking Minority Leader Mitch McConnell by name for not spending on his race and accusing him of only spending his $400 million on the senators “who obey him.” Why has this race been different? It’s true that Cruz is flailing. But while the senator has refused to clarify his own positions and been ruthlessly mocked in the press, Allred has put together an exceedingly impressive campaign.
