TXGOP Behaving as Badly as Can Be for Primary Votes


The shitshow circus came to town.


Beginning today with the ridiculousness of those who seek to be our representatives in Washington in the House of the People.  See if you can spot the irony that Chip Roy cannot.


Yes, we're eaten up with stupid down here in Deep-In-The-Hearta.  Some folks say it's because we don't vote.  I say it's because the wrong folks do.


When I started this Wrangle, Dan Patrick was the state's worst offender among his foul, rotten ilk.  (My, how quickly things change.)  The Beast thinks Patrick's mail ballot shenanigans are as likely to have affected his party's voters as they have the Donks.  That's possible, but I doubt whether he cares.   Fucking with people and things is what he does, be it friend, foe, or someone/something in-between.


Lots of insiders speaking off the record in that story.


But did he have a bad week?  I suppose it remains to be seen.

I'll have to go longer on Governor Helen Wheels and Attorney General Lazy Eye in another post because they have disgraced themselves further even since I began to compile this one.


"You know what, we have a pretty good governor down here in Greg Abbott," Nugent says in the short video shared on West's Twitter. "I worked hard to get him elected. But if you were a pretty good bass player you couldn't be in my band. Pretty good doesn't cut it."

[...]

Stephen Willeford, an NRA firearm training instructor who shot the Sutherland Springs church shooter in 2017, also announced his endorsement of West this week. “His beliefs regarding the constitution, gun rights, border policy, and fiscal conservatism are the values that will continue to guide Texas in the right direction,” Willeford said in a statement released Tuesday.


And last, the local yokels.


I have more to add but not the will to do so.  Social justice, environmental, and calm-me-downs are in the queue.

Texas Chainsaw Early Voting Massacre Wrangle


Or is it?


That's the data from Longhorn Derek, and it's also Kuffner's point this morning, i.e. 'all caught up'.  Frankly when the state ranks in the bottom five in voter turnout and the media is begging people to vote because everyone knows that the ones who do are crackpots ... maybe "we're on pace with previous years" isn't good news.  For anybody.


Nobody like Turd Blossom, but nobody ignores him either.


Democrats are wailing loudly about rejected mail ballots.


But turnout in the RGV's GOP primary doesn't seem affected.


Turncoat Pena, hoping to get on the appeals court down south.


I should probably mention that this development comes as a shock to the TDP chairman.


Shell Seas watched the debate between Gilberto Hinojosa, Kim Olson, and Carroll Robinson and has a lengthy, insight-filled review.

I have so many posts for 'Texas Republicans behaving badly' that they will appear separately, following this one.  Let's look at the latest polling.


No real movement in these numbers over the past thirty or so days.  Texas 2036 also shared the results of their fourth Texas Voters Poll.


More of the latest developments regarding Texas women's reproductive freedom in the Social Justice Wrangle, forthcoming.

And SocraticGadfly offered a trio of politics and voting posts from last week, but candidly none of his unhinged, incoherent, rambling rants make any sense.  Go read them if you like but keep in mind he's a former Green who has now apparently decided he hates the Greens and just voted in the Republican primary.  (You've been warned.)

Sunday "Is It War Yet?" Funnies

I don't care for Gen. Tso's chicken either.
Welcome back, after his gap year, to Two Party Opera.
And congratulations to Desi Doyen for thirteen years of the Green News Report.
