I know Cruz is a big time evangelical panderer, but is there any other reason people vote for him? I do not see the appeal at all

I refuse to accept this. Surely even a hardcore GOP fan would want to put a better candidate forward. How does this weird creep get put out front?

Tribalism is THE major force in US politics. Pretending there's a better reason for this poo poo might be comforting, but it doesn't change the facts.

I'm trying to understand this but my brain is just refusing to accept it. You still have to be popular within the party to rise and....why Rafael, of all people?

Of course I'm clearly not the target market so I don't think any amount if explanation would ever click in for me

I might have voted for a more boring, centrist Democrat just because I hate Ted’s face so much, but Beto made people excited in a way that made me uncomfortable. I mainly voted for Ted out of spite.

But yeah, the response to Beto getting within farting distance of Cruz was always going to be "if only he'd been more centrist." Idiots.

When he literally goes on at length on his campaign site about how he reaches across the aisle lmfao

Do you now inexplicably have a vague mixed up southern accent despite living in major cities your entire life?

I'm a native Masshole but I do say "y'all" now and use other local turns of phrase. I like to think that's just me integrating though :v:

wait, so is the standard that is has to be a smallish place with a college or smth? because as far as i'm concerned any place with a good size college qualifies, and college station sucks

And yeah I'd put Waco on there cause there's not much else going on with Waco apart from, like, there is the Dr Pepper museum I guess and some fossils

Yeah, wife and I were discussing this and if Baylor disappeared holy hell this place would contract like crazy. It's not the shipping and industry powerhouse it once was

Y'know - I totally get 1% grifters. you come in, lower taxes, give out all sorts of cash from the public coffers to your buddies, etc. That makes sense to me. It's reprehensible at there's logic.

This poo poo is just Racist Grandpa's brain is finally leaking out his ears and he's gonna run the country into the ground over what the leprechauns are telling him. It speaks volumes that no one - not even the grifters are moving to remove him from office for being legendarily unfit.

There's a lot to hate about that bill, but the "save Chick-Fil-A" bit gets on my last nerve. It's a wildly successful fast food business, you aren't loving saving it by forcing a private entity to host ONE restaurant. The fact that they treat this as some kind of emergency is just the corn on the poo poo
