Colin Allred ad is fabulous. He is running against Ted Cruz for Senate.

[applegrove]

This is Colin Allred. He is a Democrat. He is the U.S. representative from Texas's 32nd congressional district. He was a linebacker in NFL, but quit the league to go to law school. He then went on to work at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. He then practiced law as a voting rights litigator. And now he's running to defeat Ted Cruz.

"We don't have to be embarrassed by our Senator. We can get a new one!" #TXSen

1. OMG this is a great political ad

If I lived in Texas, I'd definitely stand in line to vote for him.

Best of luck to Colin Allred

2. Great ad. GO, Colin!

3. May the best homo sapiens win!

4. Donated - we desperately need to get rid of Ted Cruz.

[sheshe2]

5. Wow.

I just fell in love with him. I hope Texas does as well.

6. Unfortunately

This is written to appeal to people like us at DU. Not sure this appeals to the people that will vote for Cruz. It will probably raise money for his campaign. They'll need to get to a place though where their ads influence those fence sitters that might actually be ready to switch.

8. It won't be SEEN by people who will vote, period.

These announcement videos are intended to create blogosphere "buzz" and encourage some fundraising. They're never intended to convince voters, most of whom don't hand out on social media and political sites.

When he calls me, I'll listen to his pitch, but the fact that -I- don't like Cruz won't influence my opinion about whether he's beatable.

12. It was seen by me

And I will vote. And I will donate to his campaign. And I will vote for him. We can't give up We can't stop trying. We can't stop hoping. We must fight the good fight against all odds.

17. "We can't stop hoping."

But we CAN start prioritizing.

I'll be repeating my mantra that, with finite resources, the dollars you give to a pipe-dream race are dollars you aren't giving to hold on to the Senate seats in MT and OH, or winning back the House.

7. I'll send him money

For the love of God Beto needs to stay out of this race.

[SilasSouleII]

13. Yes, agreed

9. Colin is a good man and a former voting rights attorney

[ancianita]

10. He's just the man to get votes in the state rated the #1 hardest to vote in.

A bold, courageous and inspiring man.

[BOSSHOG]

11. The billionaires who own the bitch

(Cruz) will open their accounts. They don’t want Allreds in the House or the Senate. This will be fun to watch. I predict Ted won’t debate him. And yeah Beto, get on allreds team.

[judesedit]

14. Awesome, awesome, awesome...

[liberalla]

15. Great ad! That is an impressive man! It would be great if TX would drop cruz!

[wendyb-NC]

16. I hope he wins

Cruz has overstayed his welcome, if he even ever was. He needs to go.

Colin Allred, is the ticket. He'll stand up for the needs the citizens of Texas, the guy who's in there now, can't begin to imagine doing.

Beat luck! He’d be a great step forward.
