That guy loves getting his beaten by Culberson, and he STILL doesn't live in the district.PDiddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05851660342241127485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-54822703482394940082016-02-26T13:39:30.278-06:002016-02-26T13:39:30.278-06:00Thanks!

I've come to believe that the best possible outcome of the November election would be Bernie in the White House and a conservative Republican Congress that won't even rise to its feet when Bernie comes to make his State of the Union Address. If you recall, the last time that the federal government claimed anything like a balanced budget was back in Slick Willie Clinton's last couple of years with his Republican Congress. We need more of the same.<br /><br />So I'm feelin' the Bern, but I didn't want to vote for just Bernie. I wanted to help the Democratic Party select a slate of whacked out lefties who would have no chance against their Republican opponents for state offices. You've given me one. Again, thanks!mikejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01819651219822075922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-27688959861005788062016-02-17T19:10:33.511-06:002016-02-17T19:10:33.511-06:00As to Garcia he has to be hoping for high turnout ...As to Garcia he has to be hoping for high turnout similar to 2008 and it does not look like it is happening. Unless people are waiting till election day, which I doubt. There just does not seem to be much enthusiasm out there in the Democratic side. If the poll above is correct about Texas, Sanders may not put up much of an effort. Would not blame him a waste of resources.memehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744596237327127713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-8298472211506026652016-02-17T19:05:56.237-06:002016-02-17T19:05:56.237-06:00Brandon posted a pic of him standing next to Sissy...Brandon posted a pic of him standing next to Sissy Farenthold on FB & Twitter as if.... Sissy has now and always has endorsed Ann Harris Bennett for Tax Assessor Collector - Voter Registrar. He's even copying how she puts out her endorsement memes & copying Anns' "In it to win it" in public. Has he ever had an original thought? I'm just waiting for him to start copying Ann when it comes to her advocating for Medicaid Expansion. Watch for it....<br />The party establishment was crazy not to support Ann Harris Bennett for Tax Assessor Collector - Voter Registrar. With her numbers in the past three election cycles it was just down right stupid to miss an opportunity to support a qualified, viable Democrat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451655589431904902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-17443578399312365722016-02-16T13:17:50.311-06:002016-02-16T13:17:50.311-06:00Sounds kind of serious.

Other than Hawk knocking off Watkins for DA (and that wasn't really a political race, it was Watkins' ethical screw-ups), in Dallas, the D party generally continues to expand. Fort Worth side of the Metromess, it still struggles a certain degree, to be sure.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-50384699060032350102016-02-16T08:02:04.732-06:002016-02-16T08:02:04.732-06:00'an' extraordinary amount'an' extraordinary amountPDiddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05851660342241127485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-74005768245900725562016-02-16T08:01:23.715-06:002016-02-16T08:01:23.715-06:00I think you stand a good chance of being correct a...I think you stand a good chance of being correct about your November prediction, Manny. There's a real schism happening in the Democratic Party, and a extraordinary amount of condescension to one faction from the other that's going to make patching up differences very difficult after the fight concludes (again, I believe it's about 30 days away, give or take a week).<br /><br />As for Garcia, it's not my place to call for anything from him. His supporters stand with him for various of their own reasons and he still has a lot of support. We'll see whether it's enough support to defeat Green or not.<br /><br />PDiddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05851660342241127485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-15522697317210358262016-02-16T07:01:32.975-06:002016-02-16T07:01:32.975-06:00You certainly forgive much quicker than I do.

Garcia should apologize to the immigrant community for his role in safe communities.<br /><br />My hunch is that come November there were will be less Democrats sitting in county offices.
