I am excited to announce that I will be leading a large resistance rally in Texas at the exact same time of Trump’s (details tba). All groups are welcome to join. We must fight fire with fire and we must send a message that we will fight to make America America again. #Basta

Trump announced his rally in support of Cruz’s reelection on Friday:
I will be doing a major rally for Senator Ted Cruz in October. I’m picking the biggest stadium in Texas we can find. As you know, Ted has my complete and total Endorsement. His opponent is a disaster for Texas – weak on Second Amendment, Crime, Borders, Military, and Vets!

I like the “Make America America Again” slogan. It correctly implies we need to undo some recent harms to the country.
Better take care to wear a Kevlar vest, Michael. Remember, Trump said Ted Cruz’s father assassinated JFK!
Looks like he’s running in 2020.
That guy is the smartest, most incisive, clear-minded person I’ve seen in a long long time. I don’t know all of his politics yet, but I have a feeling we’re going to find out.
He’s starting his bid early. I hope he doesn’t peak too soon.
Just tell us where to show up, and we will be there Mr. Avenatti. Anything to give a big fuck you to trump makes me happy!!!
