Former Cruz Spokesman Says O’Rourke Could Win

Rick Tyler, who served as Sen. Ted Cruz’s communications director during his 2016 presidential race, told MSNBC that Cruz could lose his re-election race.

Said Tyler: “It’s possible — people say no, it’s not possible because again you look at Texas and say ‘it’s a red state and it’s never going to happen’ but Beto O’Rourke has consistently out-fundraised him two-to-one, and he doesn’t take PAC money.”

He added: “It should be a 10 to 15 point race, it’s not, it’s a zero to four point race.”
