Mostly brainwashed people would vote for Beto over Ted Cruz. We saw right through Beto, such as phony. Democrats targeted that race with 70 million and went all-in. Ted ended up winning by around 2%, it was closer than it should have been. Luckily Cruz sent up the bat signal to Trump before it was too late. He went public asking for help. I think Trump's multiple massive rallies helped a lot. It energized the base to turn out.
