    It’s refreshing to hear of open minded older folks who are still capable of thinking for themselves. My wife’s grandad is one as well, but they sure seem to be in the minority these days.

    How do you know he’s one of them browns?

    Gross

    Yup, doing the math for my family, I think it's fair to say that in a typical election in the past we would have collectively voted something like 15-5 in favor of Republicans. That number is flipped this year. Hoping there are lots more like us, and I wonder if the polls would pick up on that sort of phenomenon. I guess we'll find out in a little over 24 hours.

    Pretty much describes me, my wife and most of our siblings and their families. Our parents have not made the switch, nor do I ever expect them too. If anything, this year they've dug their heels in even farther in favor of the Republicans. After all, according to my dad (via DeSouza)there are some striking parallels between Donald Trump and Abraham Lincoln, don't ya know.

    Yeah, I was pretty much one of those dumbasses for a long, long time. It's a shame. Mostly born of ignorance, intellectual laziness, religious, family and community influence and a lot of status quo thinking. Glad I've moved on from it.
  7. MidTexHorn
    Hope I'm wrong though.
  8. MidTexHorn
    Yeah, I don't see that happening. Everyone I know on both sides of the aisle except for my brother has early voted and I suspect that's not unique to my social circle.
  9. MidTexHorn
    Holy shit that's good. Would love to send that to the parents, but they'd never speak to me again.

    You already got your "pro-life" Supreme Court justices, now go place a vote for a real Texan who actually gives a shit even if his politics are a bit different than yours. It won't kill you, it might even do some good. Vote Beto.
  11. MidTexHorn
    WTF is wrong with these people?
  12. MidTexHorn
    By the way, maybe you weren't in Oak Hill. Bevo lives way north, and Oak Hill is way SW.
  13. MidTexHorn
    That was a total guess on my part, no evidence at all for it. I said it because Oak Hill reminds me of the middle class/lower middle class neighborhoods in Midland where I see the most Cruz signs so just extrapolated from there. That said, there are way fewer Cruz signs in Oak Hill than in the similar neighborhoods in Midland. Still a surprising number of Beto signs out here, most I've ever seen for a Democrat by far.
  14. MidTexHorn
    Fair enough. Your experience in Oak Hill was definitely not representative, although I do suspect it’s a bit more Trump friendly than other parts of town.
  15. MidTexHorn
    I believe you went to some sort of house party or bible study in Oak Hill and were in a group of evangelical Christians or MLMers ( they’re pretty interchangeable in my experience) who just happened to be big Trump fans and you extrapolated that self selected group as being representative of all of Oak Hill.
  16. MidTexHorn
    Join the club. It’s taking all of my willpower not to post it. Trying to rise above.
  17. MidTexHorn
    No idea what part of Oak Hill you were in, but when I visited my in-laws two weeks ago in Oak Hill there were Beto signs about every third house and they outnumbered Cruz signs easily 20-1. It was overwhelming. In fact, it was almost enough to make me feel bad for my Trump/Cruz loving father in law to be so surrounded by such ridiculous numbers of libruls.
  18. MidTexHorn
    Dismisses the Fox News element way too readily, and rather hyperbolic, but a lot of truth in that article.
  19. MidTexHorn
    Any hope that Rs wouldn't turn out was dashed by the Kavanaugh hearings. Sent people on both sides into fits of rage and IMO helped spur the huge early voting. Everyone wanted to vote ASAP as a big fuck you to the other side.
  20. MidTexHorn
    I have a few Facebook acquaintances who seem quite excited to vote for Cruz. It’s very much a “fuck you liberals” type vibe that I’m getting from them, rather than something personal about Cruz.
  21. MidTexHorn
    Based on my conversations with them, and their disgust expressed about current Republican behaviors, I actually think they'll pull the D lever. The fact that these conversations are even happening is fairly revolutionary IMO.
  22. MidTexHorn
    I've already talked about my wife on this thread. I will mention that there are at least 3, and likely as many as 5-6 lawyers in my lily white Midland law firm who appear to be Beto supporters. I strongly suspect that there's never been more than 1 or 2 Democratic voters in our ranks at any time in the past. Very anecdotal, but throw that in with my apolitical Republicanish wife voting Beto and my Republican sister who never votes in midterms and is voting for Beto and there is certainly an interesting phenomenon among the people who I know. Of course, my parents and in-laws are all in for Trump/Cruz, although their support for Republicans is nothing new even if they are more fervent than ever now.
  23. MidTexHorn
    Beto supporter. 3 guns - Shotgun and small revolver in house for protection, 12 gauge for the occasional bird hunt/clay shoot. Not even slightly skeered that Beto will take my guns.
  24. MidTexHorn
    Anyone seen this new poll that the Beto campaign is talking about. Has him within 3.6%. *edit - never mind, see above*
  25. MidTexHorn
    So is Beto per my former HS classmate who is a cop. I respectfully disagree, but talking points.
