  1. Travis county went for Beto 74.3 - 24.6%. As an example Harris: 58 - 41.3%. All I'm saying is if the other urban counties would vote as blue as Travis then Democrats might be able to overcome the massive advantage in rural Texas. The other way Democrats can win is having rural counties more vote closer to say 60 - 40%. That ain't going to happen though.
  2. Agree. While all the big urban counties have turned blue (Tarrant voted for Beto), only Travis county votes with a percentage that would make Democrats win statewide office because scores of rural counties vote 80%+ red.
  3. And they still do.
  4. Cornyn and the Duck Dynasty clan belong to the same church, the one I grew up in and it is dying as I type.
  5. Roy beat Kopser by 2.6%. He is vulnerable in 2020.
  6. Damn, we should have hired the Army Corps to widen I35 from Austin to Dallas 40 years ago!
  7. Will be interesting to see what happens if an opening on the court happens 11 months prior to Nov '20.
  8. Some people cared about "the emails" and Benghazi for a while.
  9. GR Horn is using the Trump playbook: Create distraction and conflict over some bullshit.
  10. I don't think walls are immoral, nor do I think current walls should be torn down and how many Democrats have you heard say that? IMO, Nancy was talking about the racism that is apparent in this president, how he has used hispanics in his speeches for 3 years to scare old white Americans and that is immoral. Trump supporters on here are stuck on this one comment, wordsmithing it like they did "You didn't build that" when anyone with any sense who listened to Obama's speech that day knew he was talking about the roads and bridges that have been built to get to businesses.
  11. FYI you can't lose someone you never had.
  12. mistake
  13. God told him to.
  14. God doesn't like Tennessee?
  15. And what does that prove?

  17. You think the Ca ballots were counted wrong at some time? Seriously?
  18. You should try it out.
  19. Nephew played at Rice and is a head football coach and athletic director at a Houston high school.
  20. Beto resigned from the House.
  21. What in the hell does expressing gratitude to our veterans have to do with whether they voted for Trump? If your mom voted for Clinton then you wouldn't celebrate her birthday or Mother's Day? Grow up and/or think.
  22. Republicans tried too hard.
  23. It's Happening! We are getting a redo. ?
  24. Hmm, makes me think you make stuff up. I don't, I'm 67, too old to make up shit to post here. I escaped a small racist rural east Texas town in 1969 to attend UT. The county went 85% Trump/Cruz and 15% Clinton/Beto. I've got friends and siblings still there. I visit frequently. I do know that the mostly women who were posting about the military killing everyone in the caravan would NEVER do it.
  25. Some people may not be familiar with rural east Texas which is where I am from and the Confederate flag waving Trump supporters who take the view that the people in the caravan should be shot. And they are evangelical Christians which is in-congruent to my evangelical rearing back in the 50's and 60's.
