Late in the morning of November 22, 1963, Jack Kennedy learned that the Dallas Morning News was full of editorials denigrating him, but that the afternoon paper supported him. Kennedy: "I'm sure the people of Dallas are glad when the afternoon comes."

I'm sure they still are.

The Texas Democratic Party is not a strong base of support for Beto. Gerrymandering has really done a lot to keep the Party down, and O'Rourke has done some self-inflicted damage, too. For instance, when he supported his driving buddy, repub Will Hurd, for reelection, refusing to campaign for the Democratic candidate. That left a sour taste for many Democrats. He doesn't have the type of deep connections throughout the state that you need to win a governor's race.

Texas builds roads then leases "maintenance" to for-profit toll road operators so that roads that the taxpayers paid for in the first place now cost them to drive on. Yet they go on about "low taxes" because they shifted tax bills from the state government to a for-profit corporation.

Sorry to hear that. My parents voted for Trump in 2016, but after four years of his stupid babble they swore off voting for him ever again.
