Beto came within 2 points of Ted Cruz in 2018. And it wasn't due to his popularity. There has always been a lot of illegals voting in Texas. It might finally be enough to tip the scales.

Sure, sure. But Ted Cruz is NOT Donald Trump. Were there literal parades of cars adorned with Cruz flags and banners everywhere?

No.

And...as lame as we now know Beto to be, he was new to the scene back then. And he still lost.

Cruz angered lot of voters when he ran for POTUS right after being newly elected.

Then, he didn't campaign that hard against Beto until the end. Beto had a helluva lot of money, too.
