Davis' election (or pretty much any major D's) isn't really about winning, its about seeing how effective the Battleground Texas machine is. If the race comes within a few percentage points with high voter turnout from minorities, expect to see tons more money being pumped into Texas in 2016 and a brown stain forming on the seat of every Republican's trousers. Also, I want Leticia van der Putte to win because the thought of Tyler Seiswerda having to say "van der Putte" every so often for the next four years makes me smile.

The Lt. Gov's debate is tonight at 7. Watch on KLRU or stream on statesman.com. Here 's hoping Van De Putte unleashs the Sickest Burn yet again.

Is it possible that higher deliberations on the law will stall its re-implementation until after the elections or can Abbott ram it through fast it enough?

Greg Abbott's accident was always going to be a huge crutch for the Republicans that was just going to disable any attempts by Democrats to criticize him.

I don't think the objection is to ride-sharing as a concept (though the idea of a gig economy becoming widespread is troubling), its that Uber exploits the gently caress out of its drivers.

enraged_camel posted:They are directly related actually. Remember that contractors are much more disposable and they don't receive benefits such as healthcare. So what the spread of the "gig economy" does is skew the power dynamic even further towards corporations (which is why Uber is able to exploit its drivers). computer parts posted:The issues with ridesharing are why it's attractive (cheap rates). Yeah, fair enough. I temporarily slipped into a magical world where capitalism was not an inherently exploitative economic model.

Cruz stepped into an unforced errors there that's a result of his debate training. Beto says he wants to end the War on Drugs and Cruz said "Yes, yes but he didn't dispute that he wants to start a debate on it!" He's focusing on the letter rather than the spirit.
