Pollster Ivan Moore predicts that Republican Senator Ted Cruz will lose his Texas Senate seat to Democrat Representative Colin Allred in the upcoming election. The close race could determine which party controls the Senate. Though some recent polls show Cruz leading by between one and seven points, others suggest Allred could outperform him.

Moore made the bold prediction via Twitter.

Ted Cruz’s political existence has always been a series of bizarre dramas, but the latest twist in the narrative—his opponent Colin Allred being endorsed by the *Dallas Morning News*—is nothing short of poetic justice.

Watching the debate, it was evident that Cruz was more slick in his responses, but Allred didn’t back down. He painted a clear picture of Cruz as someone who is all talk and no action, labeling him as “All hat, no cattle.”… Continue reading
