“Because any Dem is going to lose a close one to Paxton, I’m gonna throw my vote away in the R primary and watch the nut jobs win the nomination by double digits, hurr DUUURRRR!”
Those kind of power grabs have only worked in the past when the head of state and party in power are popular. Chavez and Orban both eroded the institutions when they had general popular support. And it took several years.
Your takes are generally pretty bad and this one is no exception. Talarico’s response was solid if not perfect. He did what every Dem running statewide should, and that’s acknowledge that Allred’s 2024 campaign was garbage. It’s now up to the intelligence of Texas Dem primary voters.
I’ve warmed to Crockett as a candidate since she came on the scene this week. She has a unique political talent of being able to hit hard without coming off as a nag. Think of a friend or big sister rather than your mother.
She has to walk a tightrope, sure, but she seems capable and so does Jimmy. We are lucky to have two good candidates this go around. I hope someone good challenges Abbott so we can have a solid ballot top to bottom.
Cuellar won’t matter by 2027. Dems are going to net 20 - 40 seats in the midterms. The House then won’t be like the Senate was in 2021.
14 point flip, almost the same as last weeks election in TN.
Fuck it. He’s tarnished now. Primary his ass. Who was it who almost beat him back in 2020? Where’s she at?
If he loses he’ll run as an indie to try to throw the seat to the GOP but at least he won’t win.
Every R outside New England runs behind Trump, and that’s with him carrying them across during presidential elections. In off-year/midterms we should expect them to do even worse.
The Cal board is buzzing about hiring Desean Jackson, who has turned around Delaware State in his first year. He’s too green, but that would be a splashy hire.
Don’t know who I want at Cal, but Lupoi hasn’t impressed me. Bama and Oregon have him on as an ace recruiter, less as a manager or Xs and Os guy (Saban and Lanning or others seem to have handled that). Cal needs a HC that can do 2 out of 3 by themselves.
I want an OC that has succeeded under a defensive minded HC or vise versa.
I’ve been to Target several times this year and the employees were still majority minorities as they always have been. Clearly their anti-DEI policies aren’t apparent. They seem to have appeased Trump with nothing but lip service and shed maybe 20% of its customers in the process.
Good job, idiots.
I don’t think he figured when he gave his blessing to vote for it that nearly every single Republican was going to do it. He probably thought maybe 20 or 30, giving him an out to veto. What a dumbass.
He can’t pull out of the tailspin without an assist from the courts tossing his tariffs aside and working with congress to undo much of the OBBB crap. That’s really the only way the economy improves to get him back up to 42% approval before the midterms.
I really think this dude is cooked.
