Cornyn is a member of the Church of Christ, which is the church I grew up in a small town near Tyler, population 3000. He and I are the same age and many many of these church members are perfect for today's Republican party. They are anti-higher education. I remember the older members of my church say don't send your children to college because they will lose the faith. I agree that Cornyn is safe for this election. It is Texas and while his opponent has yet to be chosen, it will probably be Hegar and just being a woman will cost her critical voting percentages. People complain all day long about their Congressman but then vote for the incumbent. Rural Texas hates "libtards" and will vote for anyone with an R in front of their name. I don't think Cornyn will run again since he would be 74 at the time of his re-election in 2026 and enough of my generation, the baby boomers, will have passed that Texas should be competitive then. If Hispanics and millennials would vote Texas could go blue this year but I'm not counting on it.

To own the libtards

Abrams lost in Georgia, a red state and voter suppression was the reason. I think she will be the VP nominee.

He isn't following the advice of the guy who said he has an ugly wife by going back to work? Trump said you can go back to work and get better.

In the presidential Republican primary the vote total is 2,000,619 with 71,359 uncommitted. In the presidential Democratic primary the vote total is 1,812,552. Your Dems 1,620,224 is from the Dem senate total. Point is the statewide total between the parties is closer than your post indicates.

She has a great story and what a fighter. I wish she was winning too. Her moving to the left with MFA hurt her imo.

There is a rumor that Bloomberg is gonna drop out.

I watched it on TV and when Georgia punted I stood up and started waving my hands and yelling don't catch it. I'll never get over it.

Travis county is doing a great job of getting out the vote. 99,000 have voted as of yesterday, 80,000 in the Democratic Primary and 19,000 in the Republican one, 12% of the registered voters.

Was it in Columbus, Ohio?

https://earlyvoting.texas-election.com/Elections/getElectionDetails.do In the first 3 days 277,032 people have voted in the Texas Republican primary compared to 211,817 in the Democratic primary. That is 57% to 43% in favor of republicans. I live in Austin but keep up with my east Texas county where I grew up, Van Zandt: Republican votes: 1073 Democratic votes: 98 😖

I wish it were enough. Winning Bexar and Harris 54-42 isn't enough with rural counties going 20-80. Too many smaller counties so the Republican victories add up and the totals put Republicans in.

Oh really?

Too late to register to vote in the March 3, Super Tuesday primary; however, you should register to vote for all Democratic candidates in November.

Who cares about what the Hillary supporters did in 2008? I don't give a shit. It's 2020 and Bernie supporters need to vote blue if Bernie is not the nominee.

My thoughts exactly. Bernie won New Hampshire, yeah, with 26% of the vote, meaning 74% didn't vote for him. Mayor Pete and Amy won 44% of the vote. I don't get the crowing all the Bernie folks are doing. Oh yeah, I remember all the yelling at the Clinton delegates at the Travis County Democratic Convention by the Bernie delegates. In my opinion they were/are insufferable if they don't get their way.

Because she is not a hateful vindictive person who treats her political opponents like a third world autocrat. Guess that never crossed your Trump mind.

Dershowitz kept his underwear on just a little.

16th out of 22 that have been targeted by Democrats to take back the Texas House. Cruz beat Beto here 51% - 48%. This was never going to be close.

Pelosi handed out pens so I must vote for no witnesses, no documents and acquittal.

Probably good advice, thanks. My first vote for president was McGovern, '72 while I was active in the anti-Vietnam War demonstrations. McGovern won both on-campus precincts by 90 points over Nixon but didn't fare well nationally. I'll vote blue no matter who but I had too many run ins with Bernie supporters in 2016 with their bullshit #NeverHillary tags. Cheers.

So you aren't a Bernie Bro? My apologies.

Only a Bernie Bro would think Warren is an establishment candidate. Just saying.

You thought she was winning the nomination before that?

I'm not holding my breath.
