  1. It sure is, Cletus. It sure is.
  2. Can he read? Man he is struggling. And his face is so mottled it looks very weird.
  3. I think it’s both. Look at Taylor Rehmet’s win in the Tarrant County special. He benefited from higher democratic turnout, sure. But he also flipped a few Republicans, and other stayed home. It’s why I like Talarico’s strategy better- he wants to expand his coalition. She says wants to motivate low-propensity voters, which, as we’ve seen, has not worked out for Democrats in Texas … ever.
  4. maybe god chose to give us the miracle of a vaccine you fucking moron! the “Two Boats and a Helicopter” joke is a timeless classic for a reason
  5. Not by accident either
  6. The GOP is definitely behind some of it, but I’ll tell you, Christopher Bouzy and his bots are doing Crockett no favors at all, and she should fire them. That said, deeply invested very-online Democrats are some of the most irritating and hysterical people on earth, so it’s no surprise they are being so bitchy.
  7. Send him … THE LETTER OF REPRIMAND!
  8. As we move towards the election, two things: 1) I will enthusiastically support whoever wins the nomination. 2) even thought I don’t like a lot of the substance, each of these campaigns are challenging the other and that’s very good, because neither of them are in any way ready for a general election and will be able to take lessons learned from the primary and apply them.

  10. I disagree. I think it’s her failure to mount a campaign, enlarge her coalition or lead. Ideology is irrelevant.
  11. After 30 years of sales and marketing, I agree it’s a challenging profession. But that is the job, and Democrats don’t approach it as sales and marketing, so they lose.
  12. Well look, it’s a red state. But the idea that Texas won’t elect a black woman is as silly (and frankly as racist in it’s own self-defeating way) as the Clinton campaign’s implicit but very clear argument that America wouldn’t elect a black man in 2008. It would and did. And what happened? He flipped a number of Republican states blue and at pushed the vast majority of counties in America outside of Appalachia towards the Democratic Party, see image below. I remember phone banking for Obama and hearing stories from people calling Missouri and Southern Indiana and hearing people say they were going to “vote for the N-.” I’m never going to say that race and racism aren’t a major force in American politics, hsitory and culture. But good candidates and good campaigns can win anywhere, because winning defines “good.” Texas Democrats may have internalized victimhood, but Texas can be won.
  13. Not shocking, but still amazing.
  14. Not sure where else to put this

  16. I don’t see any evidence that Tim Scott benefited from black voter support in material excess of a genericRepublican. He won in South Carolina with white support. And both Texas and South Carolina has elected female governors. Texas problem isn’t a uniquely terrible electorate. Our problem is a uniquely broken state Democratic Party.
  17. Actually I don’t agree. If South Carolina can elect a black man, Texas can elect a black woman. But she would have to run a great campaign which JC hasn’t so far.
  18. No doubt! But the point is that any election at any leverage is inherently an electibility contest. If you don’t win the primary you don’t get to be in the general, and only the voters get to decide what matters. So, the idea that “electability” is somehow deeply coded racism in the context of a democratic primary in Texas 2025 is bullshit. Electability matters! We’re in an existential crisis and Dems haven’t won a statewide election in 30 years. Maybe she should have mounted a campaign…
  19. Those people don’t vote in Democratic primaries. I mean come on people. This isn’t a fucking question. It’s a electability contest. That’s what a fucking primary election is.
  20. Hillary Clinton ran this play in 2008. It didn’t work. And let’s be really clear here- if they won’t come out for Talarico, did they come out for Colin Allred or Kamala Harris? Crockett’s entire argument right now is that she’s so famous and popular she doesn’t need to mount a campaign for the nomination, but that her fans will only support her and nobody else. Ok, great. Let’s see those supporters beat Talarico. If they can’t, I’m not worried about them putting Paxton or Hunt into office either. The bottom line is that you are what the election says you are. If she can’t beat JT, she can’t beat Paxton. And likewise if JT can’t beat her.
  21. The demographics have been there for 25 years. It didn’t play out that way because 1) there’s no such thing as a Hispanic voting bloc and 2) Democrats institutionalized losing over that period. That said, Texas will not be flipped by “driving up turnout” or bringing low propensity voters to the polls. Two things will flip Texas at the statewide level: 1) winning percentage 60%+ of persuadable whites and Hispanics, ie the 8-10% of the electorate that are true “swing voters” who don’t identify with a party 2) low turnout among Trumpy low propensity voters and rural voters.

  23. Colin Allred’s next bench press video is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥
  24. You laugh, but Porter Wagoner was the coldest to ever do it:
