  9. Honestly I do not remember much about Wendy Davis. I never listened to any of her speeches, or read anything about her. I sure didn't donate to her campaign. I was in a state of complacency figuring Texas Dems were up to their old tricks of running some shocking "in your face female" to wake up that side of the vote (Lupe Valdez?). I was in that state of complacency because both sides seemed to be approaching politics the same way, with hand extended to the PACs. My vote did not matter, so whoever Wendy Davis was didn't matter either. I do know who Beto is, and I was aware of him early on. Because he was different, he seemed to be doing things the right way. He was positive and was reaching out to the people all over, of all shape, color, age or class. He reawakened the idea in me that we are a government of the people, not over the people. So no, I didn't know much about Wendy Davis, and I would bet that I know so much more about Beto is because he broke rank with the Texas Dems and is doing things his way. I think there are a lot of people just like me who are being rejuvenated and feeling their voice and vote can matter. And I think it will be enough too. There was talk back up the board about the outside money coming in, and making Beto seem like some sort of plant by the SJWs and Hollywood. I think that Texas should wake up and be proud that we have the chance to be represented by someone who the whole country would want representing them. That Texas can provide a senator that can lead the way out of this morass our government has fallen into. We whine about PAC money, Beto doesn't take any. We fume about lack of debate and compromise across the aisle, Beto is throwing down the gauntlet there, pushing for discussion and movement on critical issues. There is a country out there thirsty for someone like Beto. We have our own Mr Smith we can send to Washington and we should be damned proud to do so. To start healing this country by sending the best people we have to represent us. Yes outside people are recognizing him, and donating money, because they want to see more leaders like him in DC.

  17. As a longtime lurker, I tend to just stay in the shadows here and refrain from making any comments but holy hell, this was the post crazy enough to wake me from my hibernation. Your takes are awful. You do realize he slashed prices on almost every in-stadium item and also introduced cheaper pregame beer prices outside of the stadium, right? Was that done with the wealthy people in mind as well? Although I guess the beer price thing wouldn't impact you consider you're one of the 3 people in the country who don't like alcohol mixed with their college football.

  20. just like most conversations in our modern society its all woefully over simplified all we need is intelligent regulation that achieves the core goals of what our government and society are to stand for. liberty, opportunity, consumer choice, small business, the list goes on. Yelling "no regulation" is like yelling "Free Market" from the likes of Pepper Brooks and all the other 25 year old newly discovered Young Republicans who are so happy to have discovered a new ideology. I know because I have been on similar wavelengths before. Life is complicated. Ideologies get in the way of the folks trying to communicate and make things better. Happy no nuke Friday my friends. Stay thirsty this weekend, its gonna be a good one.

  24. I would like to thank the aggy community for their amazing hospitality shown to me last night. College Station, Texas isn't on many maps, so coming from northern Louisiana, I had to stop and ask directions. My first stop was in Tyler, where I stopped at a used car dealership. Who would have expected that I would have found an eccentric multi-millionaire who sells used cars just for fun. His son played quarterback for A&M, so he knew exactly how to get to College Station and gave me directions. He did get me to College Station, but not to the stadium. His directions were to the College Station jail. Once I arrived at the College Station jail, the police officers knew exactly how to get to the football stadium. They mentioned they used to go there quite often for business, but since their recent large donation from the university, they now mostly just go there for free bbq. I finally made it to the middle of the barren prairie where their football stadium is located. I instantly contemplated turning around and heading back to my comparatively opulent Louisiana trailer park. (to be completed)

  26. In the 26 largest counties with 75% of the voters Republicans won by 332,590 votes in 2012, but the Democrats won by 262,992 votes in 2016. The Libertarian vote increased by 161,147 votes at the same time representing potential swing voters. Statewide the Libertarian vote went up about 195,000. If you look at actual data Democrats have made inroads. In the 228 smaller counties the Republicans won by 929,129 votes in 2012 and 1070171 votes in 2016 a 141,042 improvement. Based on linearly extending the simple 2012 to 2016 trend and assuming a 60% midterm turnout for both parties the Democrats would win the big counties by 559,543 votes. A 60% decrease in smaller county turnout from 2016 would give the Republicans a 642,102 vote advantage there for a net win of 82,559 votes statewide. This is before factoring in what the swing Libertarian vote does, or if there is a blue wave, or that 10% of Republicans have abandoned the party, and many other bad trends for the Republicans. A recent poll put Cruz's support in rural areas at 66%, when the R advantage in the 228 smallest counties was 72.5% in 2012 and 74.6% in 2016. If Cruz only has 66% support in the 228 smallest counties, not all of which is rural by the way, he only wins them by 443,205, once again assuming a 60% turnout by both sides. I am starting to think there is a realistic possibility that Beto will have a 800,000 to a million vote advantage in the 26 biggest counties, and the rural vote will be unable to make up the difference. That comes to a 6 to 10 point win. I am hoping that this will lead the Democrats to victory in the Lt. Governor and Attorney General races, along with flipping 3-5 US congressional seats. It is regrettable that the Democrats failed to run a decent candidate for Governor, because Beto's blue wave might have pulled a good candidate across the line.

  29. So what you are saying is that young women in that age bracket are swayed by looks and emotions? That they couldn't have a thought in their head that might concur with any of Beto's platform planks on education, health care, immigration, teachers, vets, women's rights, and on and on? Maybe it's time we stop looking at younger women as vapid airheads that trend to every new shiny object that comes along. Yes, there are plenty of Kardashians out there, but I think we should recognize there are plenty who aren't and give them credit for being capable of intelligent thought.

  33. Pretty sure Herman wanted to be asked. He tells you why in his response. He’s willing to cooperate fully with the NCAA about OSU if the NCAA reaches out to him. There’s shit they are doing at OSU that they are not doing at Texas. This is his response to the Meyer and OSU bullshit. OSU and Meyer never heard the southern/Texas expression “pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered”, me thinks, but there’s a shot they’ll have a better understanding shortly.

  34. Can we stop comparing Wendy Davis to Beto? Davis’ big moment was before she even ran for governor. One filibuster versus what Beto has done on this campaign...there’s no comparison. Trotting out Wendy Davis as why Beto can’t win is tired and ridiculous. Her campaign has literally nothing to do with this election.
