Democrats plot to kick ‘snake’ Ted Cruz out of Texas: Dallas voters tell Daily Mail why Colin Allred is the ‘fresh blood’ they need to dethrone Republican senator

There are nine Democrats running on Super Tuesday for the chance to take on Sen. Ted Cruz in November’s general election — and left-wing voters in Texas want Rep. Colin Allred to be the one to take on the fight.

More than a handful of pro-Trump voters in Texas told DailyMail.com when asked if any Democrats could beat Cruz, “I hope not.”

But Democrats have mobilized for Allred and want Cruz, who is ending his second term in Congress, unseated in the 2024 general election.

Joe Brock, 55, called Cruz a “snake” and Roger Kelso, 78, said his nickname for the senator is “Turd Cruz.”

Gene Schillaci, 66, told DailyMail.com as he left his polling place in Dallas, Texas after casting his vote in the Super Tuesday primaries, that he supports Allred because he “has a positivity about him” that contrasts the ‘negativity of Ted Cruz’. ‘

Democrats casting ballots for the Super Tuesday elections in Dallas, Texas, told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that they want Rep. Colin Allred to win the primary to take on Sen. Ted Cruz in the general election for his seat in the House. Senate

Gene Schillaci, 66, told DailyMail.com as he left his polling place in Dallas, Texas after voting during the Super Tuesday primaries that he voted for Allred. Of Cruz, he said, “I just can’t imagine how they… dug up this guy, you know?”

“I just can’t imagine how they found out – where they dug this guy up, you know?” the Democratic voter added.

Colin Allred, a former NFL player and three-term U.S. representative from the Dallas area, is leading the group of nine Democrats vying to face Cruz in the fall general election.

In 2018, Cruz narrowly defeated Democrat Beto O’Rourke in a general election that was too close for comfort. The incumbent president ultimately won 50.9 percent of the votes, his challengers 49.3 percent.

Republicans are confident that Texas won’t turn blue anytime soon — and with 40 Electoral College votes in the Lone Star State, the GOP can’t afford to lose it to Democrats.

Roger Kelso, a voter from Dallas, told DailyMail.com he prefers Texas Sen. Roland Gutierrez’s platform to Allred’s, but said he’s backing the man he thinks has the best chance to win to impeach Cruz.

“I think the most important thing we need to do is get rid of the man I call ‘Turd Cruz.’ He hasn’t been good for the state, he hasn’t been good for the country,” Kelso said after the vote Tuesday. “And I think Colin Allred would step in and be the guy.”

Allred and Gutierrez are joined in the race by state representative and former DeSoto mayor Carl Sherman; Tax accountant Meri Gomez in the mission area; former Nueces County District Attorney Mark Gonzalez; Katy businessman Robert Hassan; law professor and retired Navy Captain Steve Keough; Heli Rodriguez Prilliman, a Fort Worth entrepreneur; and Thierry Tchenko, a political organizer in Houston.

Artist Joe Brock said he also voted for Allred during the Democratic Senate primaries.

“I definitely want Cruz out. He’s a snake,” Brock said, adding of Allred, “I think he’s a good politician. He is strong. We need fresh blood.’

One Republican expressed confidence that Cruz will not be impeached by a Democrat, simply saying “no” when asked if there was any concern he would lose his seat.

One thing Texas Democrats and Republicans seemed to agree on was that immigration is at the top of their minds as they cast their ballots in the primaries.

Democrats argue that Republicans are blocking any real progress on this issue, while Republicans say the opposing party wants open borders and massive illegal immigration.
