Allow me to play “Realpolitik.” As uphill a battle as Talerico will be, Crockett would have had to scale Everest. I’m a Texan and I voted for her, but I’m not really blind enough to think she could’ve actually won the state. Black AND a woman AND liberal AND national name recognition? Dead in the water. My big fear now is that the Republican fuckery will turn some Dems against Talarico.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your pup was so lucky to have you, and now two little curb gerbils get to live their very best life with you. You're doing great, even if it doesn't always feel that way. Just don't forget to be as kind to yourself as you are to your animals. Love and blessings to you.

I pray Talarico knocks out Paxton and Crockett comes back and whoops Ted Cruz in 28.

I did NOT know that Cornyn & Paxton loathe each other. Evan ALWAYS brings me the "news"!

The Colbert Bounce, it is real.

I feel like the reason Paxton stepped in on the Democratic primary was in hope that the race would be close enough that the sequestered votes would become a cause of dissention among the Democrats resulting in a prolonged court fight that would last for weeks.

Paxton thinks that in the May runoff he will defeat Cornyn, and denying the Dems an outright winner for weeks would mean that the advantage of going immediately out campaigning would be reduced.

He is just that devious.

Texas was still successful in suppressing the vote. People don't have time to chase down their voting precinct. Our county sends out post cards to eligible voters telling them where to vote.

> Oh one more thing! Did y’all realize NBC News got Steve Kornacki in the divorce? If you were watching MS NOW and saw poor Ali Velshi trying to be Kornacki that was why.

Seems like NBC got the Decision Desk also too, because MSNOW was using AP's projections, not their own.

I think Ali Velshi is good, also too. He and Kornacki are just completely different.

>>Texas GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw lost his primary by almost 20 points, ha ha, hate him!<<

One last time to revisit this campaign video:

I am so pissed off that Jasmine lost. So tired of white people voting for white people.

"...look at MAGA pissboy Todd Starnes..." Bleagh.

The voting shenanigans might not have been enough to affect the Senate primary, but there were other races on the ballot more specific to those counties. Grrrr....

Don’t mess with Ali. He may not have Kornacki’s sparkly personality (no diss to Steve intended), but he’s probably the smartest and most versatile person on the network (tied with Rachel Maddow).

He is another Fetterman.

Contra “Taniel,” Al Green did NOT end up “down big,” he’s in a runoff with Menefee.
