The Cook Political Report on Friday updated its rating for Texas's heated Senate race, moving it from "leans Republican" to "toss-up" amid new polls showing Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D) in a tightening race with Sen. Ted Cruz (R).

The change in rating Friday came amid two other Senate race changes, with the prediction website changing the race for Sen. Jon Tester's (D-Mont.) seat from "likely" to "leans" Democratic, while the West Virginia Senate race moved from "toss-up" to leaning in favor of incumbent Sen. Joe Manchin (D).
=======================================
Interesting projections from very knowledgeable & experienced source.

Also has approx 4 mil more on hand than Cruz does. Thing is, IMHO Cruz pissed off the base with the long ago shut down, and no plan, not endorsing Trump at the Convention, then seeing that Trump owns the Party base, set things aside and became a big time Trump supporter.
Add in he is not liked by people in general.

Cruz is a typical stuffed shirt politician who will do or say anything to keep his cushy job.
 
Let's see in the upcoming weeks how Beto's remarks yesterday about how cops are the new Jim Crow play out.

It will be an interesting mid terms, and the power rests in who controls the Senate.
Dems have about a 1 in 5 chance of taking the Senate. Next mid month we may have a better idea of what races are tight to possible change in Party

The Wall Street Journal coined him ‘Kamikaze Kruz’ for shutting down the government with the Tea/Freedoms in Oct. 2013.

DEMs didn’t capitalize on that $24 Billion blunder, and got wiped out from November on with the ACA roll-out.

That same winter, McConnell stalled all federal judges, forcing Reid’s hand in December.

Ain’t historical revision fun? We don’t do adminstration overlap like the dictators.

Enjoy the House hearings in 2019, such as into Teapot Zinke. America is well aware of how today’s conservative repubs campaign.
