it's crazy but I can be disappointed he and the florida dude are both actively avoiding saying m4a but sticking to the 'affordable healthcare' bullshit and also want them to win over their ghoul rear end republican enemies.

Also yes considering m4a has like near 90% cross party support if he does fail to turn voters out him running from an incredibly popular issue should PROBABLY be in the post mortem

there was the poll a few weeks ago that said a majority of republicans supported m4a so beto not supporting it is bad politics if he wants to win over republicans

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.

How the gently caress does anyone look at that and not get creeped out? Wtf is up with the poo poo dripping off the heart supposed to be about? Are they bleeding or melting?

Seriously sometimes I really can't wrap my mind around how these loving people think. It's like they are particularly stupid aliens trying to mimic human behavior, badly.

very well respected and highly paid consultants tell people "if you support medicare for all they're going to call you a socialist"

these same well respected and highly paid consultants have gotten their asses handed to them for years and fail to mention that they're going to get called a socialist anyways.

It's not about pandering to the #MAGA trucking company owners who just want the right to have their drivers work 30hr shifts again. It's about not pissing off power and having his own party either pull their support or actively start to sabotage his rear end.

Best Beto/Cruz chat has to be on Nextdoor. I only stay on it for the lost pet notifications but occaisionally see some crazy posts that are worth the admission fee. Currently, in one my nearby neighborhoods someone claiming Beto supporters defaced their Ted Cruz yard sign.



It seems as credible as the girl who had a backwards B carved into her face by crazed Obama supporters in 2008 but hey, what do I know.

Now, if it was mocked up to suggest Cruz was the Zodiac killer, I might believe it was a Beto supporter :)

West Texas sign update:

I've seen several Beto signs around town in the last month. However, there's been a sudden upcropping of Cruz signs in the last week or so. I guess they finally got their order placed. There's probably an equal amount around here now.

Still haven't seen any bumper stickers for either one though.

One sign I've started to see mixed in with the usual clusters is "Vote Republican: Keep Texas Strong" which is interesting. Pure partisan affiliation. Don't know if it's a wise message or not.

One of the county activists just wrote she has ordered 1000.

the circle with the plus sign over it was the zodiac killer's symbol that he used to sign the letters so yeah that and "we know" seems to say that

I was looking at the symbol as the crosshairs of a gun sight. Blah, hope it wasn't Beto supporters but looks like it might have. I still don't put it past Cruz supporters from doing that to gain false sympathy.

Allred's going to win. I've figured Sessions must have terrible internal polling with some of the GOP people they've brought in to fundraise for him.

After Michael Avenatti turbo-dunks on the Democratic primary field, we'll be able to have politicians who don't do performative :decorum:, but before then I would expect Beto to side with Cruz crying about his dinner getting ruined or AOC to put out a nice statement about McCain rather than making GBS threads on his corpse.

The Democrats have not yet reached the point where they can shed their skin and just nakedly grab at power with both hands all the time. But soon.

I'm more concerned by the people trying to claim that it's justified by some vague moral calculus from the extrapolated harm caused by policies Cruz supports.

No, dumbasses, it's justified by the fact that it's a public place and Cruz chose to make himself a public figure, which means he is entitled to a lessened expectation of privacy.

BTW Dan Brown was the former host of APMs Marketplace and KUT brought him in a few years ago so they'd have a notable name (He started with Texas Music Matters) and now they do the Texas Standard, which is your standard way overproduced public radio garbage newsmag and if it dies I say I'm glad of it.

So did Culberson's, and as a resident in one of the probably swingier parts of TX-07 (still plenty of old white folks around here but it's increasingly diverse/young), I'd say it's still probaby 55-45 Culberson.

We joke about the yard sign metric, but anecdotally in my neighborhood the count 2-3 weeks ago was something like: 8-10 Beto signs, 1 Cruz sign; 4-5 Lizzie signs, 0 Culbereson signs. I've since seen close to half a dozen Cruz signs and 4-5 Culberson signs as well (and one Abbott sign). So, the Rs aren't losing enthusiasm around here at least. We've had a couple door knocks from some D campaigns (no Beto or Lizzie ones that I know of, though), none from R ones at least.

TX-07 is going to be super close I feel.
