  1. Not very encouraging. Hoping to see a couple of things in the general election: 1. Republicans have a bunch of olds that vote in every election, including dog catcher. Dems want a shot to take trump out and will show up when he’s on the ballot against a dem. 2. This primary was weird and fragmented with nobody starting any type of movement. Hopefully Biden will be riding a wave of anti trump momentum into the general. 3. It’s going to be tough because trumps people WILL show up.
  2. I voted for Donna and have been impressed with her message and engagement on social media. Her quick tv AD looked robotic imo. Hopefully she wins and works this out because carter always has effective ads. He’s always in a cowboy hat with a truck not doing a damn thing while optimistic music plays in the background. He’s such a senile old fuck.
  3. Williamson county will be an interesting one to watch. Trump won it 52-42 in 2016. It seems to have moved much more to the left in the last 4 years. There will be over 200k votes so it’s a big one to at least break even in.
  4. Hillary won bexar county 54.5 to 41. Hillary won Harris county 54.2 to 41.8. Those are pretty good margins. The margin would actually be wider if with higher turnout as democrats are more likely to be have their vote suppressed.
  5. I’m going to sue Tom Brady alleging he is harassing me because Gisele doesn’t want to have sex with him anymore after taking my 10 inch dick in her ass. Surly posters: “seems legit”
  6. Sure are a lot of people willing to hear one side of a lawsuit and make up their mind about what happened.
  7. I already voted for Liz but for the purposes of this poll voted “was Liz, now Bernie”. I don’t particularly love Bernie but dislike biden and have concerns about his mental faculties. I honestly don’t think he could make it through a term at the rate he is deteriorating.
  8. I’m in western Wilco and voted yesterday. It was quite busy and the lady working said that it had been that way all day. Props to the workers for running a really friendly/efficient machine. It was hard to tell whether more R or D ballots had been given out because they had gone through so many sticker pages of each. In general I’ll take high turnout as it favors Dems. Wife and I both felt strange walking up and requesting a D ballot after spending so many years on the other side. I’ll fire the surly libtard pac thread up again after we know who wins the primaries. Let’s see if we can’t just swing a close general election.
  9. Elementary school administrator here. Yes, even young kids can cause a severe amount of damage to property, other students, and even staff. Calling the cops is typically not the right answer. Cuffs are never the right answer. Even with students in a state of crisis being removed from school directly to a mental health facility, we have never had to use cuffs. People need to understand that there are two very different sets of laws governing schools and their students. Special education and general education. Let’s say a student is in special education with an emotional disturbance diagnosis. This student cannot be suspended for more than 10 days in a school year without a manifestation determination hearing to determine if their behavior was a result of their disability. Guess what......every possible behavior is due to the disability and that kid is ours for the rest of the year. The only way that kid is leaving my campus is if they have an offense classified as non-discretionary such as bringing drugs or a weapon to school. We can physically contain a kid using SAMA techniques, but only if they are an immediate danger to themselves or others. Walking around and smashing computers? Nope, doesn’t cut it and it’s a fast way to get fired. You know what my only option is? Calling the cops when the level of property destruction gets to be over $100. If the kid is under 10, even they can’t do much about it. Punch a kid/teacher in the face? Spend the afternoon with me and they will be back in class tomorrow. Special education laws add great protection for some of our most at risk students. However, they have gone too far in protecting some really egregious behavior and allowing it to happen every day, year after year. That’s not helping the special education child develop a sense of reality about how people will deal with that behavior outside of school. Im going to cut this post off so that it doesn’t get into TLDR territory but I’m happy to answer questions.
  10. Pete is a weasel but he entertains me in this shit show.
  11. Jesus, terrible by the mods
  12. Steyer: well I think mod: thank you mr steyer, moving on now
  13. I’m a fan of Liz but that was a bit much for me.
  14. Warren after bloomerberg again.
  15. I threw up a little in my mouth.
  16. This. I was still weighing my options until a few days ago. Still plan to vote early but wanted to see how a few things shook out in the presidential primary first.
  17. When should we expect polling that will include the debate and its potential bump? Interested to see if it translated to anything. Also and word on a fundraising bump? I am constantly blasted with Bloomberg and Bernie commercials.
  18. Trump is -240 on my book to win.
  19. They get money off welfare while voting against such programs because its socialism.
  20. The Bloomberg line where he tried to downplay his sexual harassment as “only some jokes” was truly cringeworthy for me.
  21. I’m back. She’s the best candidate in the race and she will get the two votes from this house.
  22. Pete is that annoying guy in high school that didn’t do any work on the group project because he was busy promoting himself at a student council meeting. But he made sure that he got a killer spot in the presentation and took all the credit by being a smooth talker.
  23. Last couple of digs not withstanding, Liz is having a great night. Not sure it will translate to the polls but it’s a good night for her. Needs to finish with some positivity though.
  24. Wife and I went through all the candidates to decide who to vote for in the primary. We both like warren the best but aren’t about throwing our votes away. We ended up deciding to just roll with her and hope things somehow turn around. It’s a long shot but this race has been schizophrenic so far.
  25. Sounds like you are leaving right around then but Lone Star Park starts live racing in mid-April.
