  1. I removed Kelly and Hickenlooper. Added Bullock, McGrath, and Harrison.
  2. As you described, it sounds like 2020-2024 have gone as I’ve hoped. Under Democratic control, I’m hoping for our government to function again and pass simple things that a strong majority of Americans agree on: universal background checks for gun sales, allowing Medicare to negotiate with pharma companies to lower drug prices, reduce military spending to reasonable levels, smart criminal justice reform, a return to American leadership in global organizations and some unwinding of the Trump tax cuts which went to far. If a truly progressive candidate wins the Presidential primary, that’s going to be a tough sell. During this primary season, I decided I would vote for Bernie because he would be running against Trump. However, I would have definitely split my ballot at that point and Cornyn would have received my disgusted vote for Senate. In your scenario, I probably split my ballot and vote for the hopefully non-racist Republican Presidential candidate and the Democratic moderate for Senate. I would be hoping for split Government and hoping for the 2 parties to find a way to work in a bipartisan way to solve problems.
  3. Until 2016, I was a lifelong Republican. In 2016, I couldn’t vote for either Trump or Clinton and so I threw away my vote on Gary Johnson. All of my concerns about a Trump Presidency have been realized and I’ve been extremely embarrassed by the Senate Republicans who enable his madness. In 2018, I voted for Beto and Lizzie Fletcher in Houston but stuck with several other Republicans (Abbott and Judge Emmett). After the mishandling of Covid-19 and the protests, I will simplify my vote and vote straight D. I’ve also decided I want to see the D’s in charge of the Federal Gov’t for the next several years. In that regard, I am going to throw dollars at promising D Senate candidates. As of now, I have Kelly, Hickenlooper, Gideon, Jones, Cunningham on my list. Who else should be on the list (Bollier from Kansas)? I will also donate to Hegar or West depending on who wins the primary. I guess I’m a George Will Republican. They need to be punished for abandoning their responsibility to the Republic.
  4. If Clemens doesn't bean Switzer and Toby Keith, I will be very disappointed
  5. If there is a hell, JoePa is there watching tapes of Sandusky raping his children and grandchildren on a permanent loop.
