PEREZ: “I mean, I think what it shows is Ted Cruz is desperate. I mean, look at this, Beto O'Rourke has run a remarkable grassroots campaign. He's not taken money from the special interest that have lined Ted Cruz's pockets for years and years. Ted Cruz has 100 percent name recognition. And frankly, I think that’s our secret weapon as Democrats, because people know Ted Cruz and he’s not fighting for ordinary Texans, he’s -- he's fighting for special interests. And -- and Beto is going to fight for everyone in every zip code. That’s what his campaign has been. He’s been going to corners where, frankly, Democrats didn’t show up.”
