TT's travel well. Both of ours went cross country with us in a small rv. My Princess Leia is 13 years old. She's a sweetie.

Obviously there good folks like you in Texas, but I'm afraid there's just too many goobers and spoiled suburbanites in the state. Beto is a great candidate and I hope he inspires enough people to prove me wrong!

It is a hopeful development. The trick is going to be to build on it of he loses. Texas isn't so much a red state as it's a non voting state. A lot of why people don't vote is there is no candidate to vote for. So if he does lose, learn any lessons from it and try again and harder next time. Just quitting is not really an option anymore.

Let me correct my comment. He hasn't spent much time campaigning in the western counties in the 4th district, most of which are very red farm counties.

Yes, part of western KS is in the 4th district.

I find hope in the fact that Beto has done as well as he has. In Texas of all places, too.

And don't forget, in 2020 we may treated to the sight of Cruz trying to primary Trump, if he smells enough blood in the water at that point.

Sadly I don't live in TX or I'd be standing in line now. The Hill is calling it for Cruz by 10 points. Something tells me though that things are not what they seem this election.

You know, I've lived here longer than that. I don't expect or hope for "those selfish racist dumbasses" to do anything. I'm just hoping the majority of Texans will finally vote.

Omg! Sorry about Bojangles. What your doggies name? II love the breed. We have been in this hotel for a couple of days and he has been a champ. I’ve thought about getting another, but Grover is definitely king of the castle.
