Like Mr. Robinson, I don't enjoy seeing people in wheelchairs booed. But if anyone has earned an exemption, it's Greg Abbott. https://youtu.be/3oesSyvh76g

I couldn't agree more. If we can win two senate seats in Georgia, the sky is the limit.

For those who don’t know the story, a tree fell on him while he was jogging in River Oaks, which is the ritziest neighborhood in Houston by far. As a result, the homeowners had a massive homeowners’ insurance policy that paid out. Had he been running in pretty much any other neighborhood, he would have been SOL.

And yes, he subsequently pushed for “tort reform” to cap damages, so nobody after him could get a payout like he did.

In the Valley, Biden would get a warmer welcome. The borderlands are traditionally conservative Democrats. At least some is due to the Bidens simply being Catholics, as well as middle of the road Democrats. It's weird, I know, but out where I'd lived a couple miles from the Rio Grande, it wasn't unusual in people's homes to see a Lyndon Johnson right next to the family shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Forget it, Torby's mom, it's Texas. Beto can't exclude all the gun people if he wants to win.

A big problem is no one voted for a long time except GOP fanatics. Very recently Dems have voted, which is why all the main population centers (except maybe Ft Worth, although Beto carried Tarrant County) are blue.

I've been giving him money. And trust me, Beto is no Sinema.
