    Since always, but especially since trump.

    He would put the democrats at more risk by being a senile dumbass. #joe30330

    We should start a surly “PAC”. Not a real one but start a thread where people can discuss their favorite local candidate in a tight race, as a group we pick a couple, and donate. I bet there are enough surlists that would do it and move the needle for a person running for the Texas House.

    I’m informed enough to know the guy in Dayton did that amount of damage in 1 minute. People like you want to play semantics while we scrape bodies off the sidewalk. You aren’t interested in solutions so fuck off.

    If you are of the persuasion that people should not have AKs, then you have to come up with a plan to get them away from the public. Fully automatic weapons have to be registered and there are supposedly 638,000 out there. Nobody knows how many semi-automatic “assault rifle” type weapons are out there but the estimate is between 15 and 20 million. So, that’s a lot of guns and we don’t know who has them. I guess Beto’s plan makes as much sense as any but it would be require going all in. The far right would go absolutely ballistic and I would expect the number of guns turned in to be very small. If you were going to do this you would have to: 1. Ban new production 2. Do a mandatory buy back 3. Wait 50 years the guns to naturally decline in numbers. Side note: this is exactly why gun nuts have been against a gun registry forever. They want to keep their AKs even when the become illegal.

    I hope Bonnen sticks around until Dems take over. He is by far the most reasonable option that we have. The education funding bill was far from perfect but would have been unthinkable under a different speaker. Empower Texans won’t be happy until every student is in an unairconditioned shack learning that Jesus rose a t-Rex. Yes, it’s hyperbole but this stuff happens with state money in places like Louisiana. Guys like Bonnen are actually the best hope for republicans in Texas for the long run. The more influence guys like Patrick have, the quicker their demise will be.

    Beto is leading the way while the media refuses to call out trump to the full extent that he is responsible for this. The media has been looking for any credible evidence about Russia for years but you get a smoking gun in him inciting racist violence and all but ignore it. Doesn’t make any sense. The guy fucking said why he did this.

    If Wisconsin goes red but the other two go blue, how likely is a 269 to 269 scenario? Actually looks really plausible to me unless I am missing something. https://www.270towin.com/maps/BPjlE

    That guy sure seems to know a lot about how to get videos of young girls on YouTube. Just sayin.

    Beto needs to keep the rage going. After taking on trump and the media, he should make the NRA and how they own the republicans a big part of his campaign.

    I have shifted my position on joe biden in the days after the debate and mass shootings. old position: anybody but joe new position: fuck joe biden

    Yep, pretty much every country has every issue that we have other than one. Declining religion, video games, mental illness, social media. The only thing that separates us is easy access to military grade weapons so that our nut jobs kill 20+ instead of somebody losing a finger in a UK knife attack. Any politician that doesn’t directly address this as a gun problem is either on the nra pay roll or a complete moron.

    I could see the presidency coming down to the Milwaukee suburbs. It’s pretty scary.
  14. Larry T. Spider
    I live in 31 and my sense is that trump will hurt the republicans chances there. Beto brought out a lot of suburban women and they aren’t going to pass up a chance to vote against trump. Bell county is the tougher part of the district but it’s only a matter of time before wilco Dems will outweigh them. Never would have thought I would live to see the day Wilco is leading the democrat charge but this area has changed significantly.
  15. Larry T. Spider
    Probably none but that doesn’t stop them.
  16. Larry T. Spider
    I would like to think that you are right but I just don’t think Texas is quite there yet. Unless something happens and it’s a national landslide, I see trump winning Texas by about 5. That would take a pretty decent crossover vote against a guy that isn’t really known or hated. I would have to think the number of people willing to vote trump/beto would be small.

    Cornyn is a buffoon but he’s somewhat more likable than Cruz. What makes beating him seem more likely than the last result? Beto has to come back with a win and he would be an underdog in this one. I actually would rather him go after a house seat that’s more winnable. The senate will always be there.
  18. Larry T. Spider
    If Beto runs with cornyns response as a major theme of his campaign, he’s running against a republican incumbent on a gun control platform. In Texas. I would support the shit out of him but I just don’t see it working. Texans (for now) are more ok with their neighbors being mowed down by white nationalists than reducing the number of AKs out there.

    As noted on other threads, I am still a Beto guy. Quite possibly the last one left, like the Japanese soldiers dumped on pacific islands to continue fighting many years after the war was over. BUT, I’m ready to jump all in on warren when the inevitable happens. I made a mistake and wrote her off after the DNA bullshit but have really listened to her in the last month. Her policy knowledge is impressive and is incredibly consistent. You never have to worry about her changing with the political winds. I find her personality more engaging that I orginally thought. Im ready to throw down the gauntlet with trumptards. Let’s put a high quality liberal out there vs the worst president in history and dare America to vote for trump. If we win, then we get a really solid, trustworthy president with immense policy knowledge. If we lose, then America was fucked anyway. We can’t overcome an electorate that would choose trump over warren.

    I think all trump cares about is attention. He will debate unless he can get more attention by not debating.
  21. Larry T. Spider
    The key to dealing with trump is attacking right back when attacked. Make it a short cutting jab, then get right back on topic. You can’t let him beat you up and not respond, but you also can’t get into the weeds with him. That’s his wheelhouse.
  22. Larry T. Spider
    I bet yang knows what joe means with those numbers.
  23. Larry T. Spider
    Warren has to be the biggest winner from tonight.
  24. Larry T. Spider
    I actually paid 50 bucks for that scam. I think I was 13.

    Booker has had a really good night. Not sure if he will get any traction though.
