Cruz called out his supporters to show up in massive groups to turn down against those US Democrats who constantly seek to turn Texas into California.
Abbott commenting on the situation said that although the national Democrats desire to change Texas blue, he has firm belief that Cruz would prevail.
Meanwhile O’Rourke objected the undertones of the party supporter in Abbott’s and Cruz’s message. In the Houston Chronicle interview, he said that the election was not about Texas being governed by democrats or republicans. Adding to it, he said on Sunday night in Sugar Land, that Ted Cruz was forecasted to win the election as Beto was considered to be a hostile to Texas values.
O’Rourke said that he doesn’t care about the political color of Texas as he could not condemn about the party the public chooses.
