  1. Tarrant is about to go to Biden
  2. Running Candace Valenzuela for a swing district is really going to haunt us. That was ripe for the taking but nominating an extreme lefty was foolish.
  3. All the money that went to Florida, Harrison, and McGrath should have been dumped into Texas.
  4. I think the concept of “advise and consent” will be bypassed over the next couple of years.
  5. Based on expectations, obviously, not a good night for Dems. I haven’t had a chance to look too closely at anywhere else other than Tarrant. Dems picked up 2 constable seats and Biden may win based on yet uncounted absentee and mail votes. Tarrant Dems wanted to do much more and it’s easy to be disappointed but the trends are still continuing towards a Democratic County.
  6. Need to talk about economic issues and healthcare. “Systemic racism” just isn’t a good issue.
  7. Lesson from last night, minorities, especially Latinos don’t want the Dem party to shift further left.
  8. I said this earlier and bears repeating, no modern presidential campaign has won without a ground campaign. I was conflicted on it but ultimately thought it was right with Covid. However, I think it’ll be the difference maker in a close election.
  9. Been at what should be a favorable Tex box for the gop. Judging by my experience it isn’t the turnout they want.
  10. They had been forming for quite awhile. The worst didn’t happen till about 9p when it became apparent there weren’t enough votes left in key places.
  11. Hitler started out very unpopular and remained so for a very long time. He took a very small minority and gained power by intimidation and violence. The resistance ignored him and thought him too crazy to gain real power until it was too late. That’s the comparison we’re drawing. No, it’s not exactly the same, don’t get hung up on that. It’s the resistance to democracy that’s concerning.
