I can see the draw for Trump and his personality. But how do people keep electing Ted Cruz? I am a Texan and just don’t get it.

Because there are a lot more republicans in Texas than democrats, and republicans will always show up to vote against a democrat. Has nothing to do with whatever mutant the GOP puts on the ticket. All that matters is the R.

ACD1 that's a good point on the Mexico trip and it reminds me that others like Beto were making calls to elderly people and getting them to safe places or getting supplies to them where they were. You also had people like AOC working with other TX lawmakers to get supplies to those in need. So plenty of people found a way to help out and make sure their neighbors got assistance needed without running away to a vacation.

I don’t follow much about the guy, why do people not like him? I think people center and right should probably answer that one.

What is Cruz good at other than self promotion?

He has no chance at a National level

He has no chutzpah- Trump had that in droves.

Trump as a great confidence man and Cruz lacks confidence. Black and white cases for national appeal

Texans ride hard for people they recognize as their own. Ted’s brand is tainted on a national level but he won statewide office before that.

There’s some interesting state history in this cultural identity that I think plays into it. Learned about it through the biography of LBJ. For sure you’d never find this depth of loyalty in any other cultural region of the country.

M1. Fair point about Bush 43, who isn’t much of a Texan. But even he is more authentic than Cruz (recognizing that that’s a lot like saying the burrito is more authentic Mexican food than crunchy tacos).

TM, I understand and you’re right. I just couldn’t resist making fun of Rafael, Favorite Son of Canada. And, what does that say about Texas voters?

Hi I have asked to be an advisor for a startup. Its in its very early stage pre pre-seed. Its looking like weekly strategy calls and possibly some executional work as well. Like building out a sales process and/or training sales and marketing team members (this might be 1-3hr a week of work).

They are offering 1.5-3.5%. — I am wondering if that’s enough.

In addition to this the founder mentioned that he would like me to consider becoming a co-founder.
