Look, White Castle is like a slump-buster.  Sometimes it's just necessary.  I can't tell you how many times a mega-hangover was avoided by rolling into a White Castle ~ 2 AM and ordering a half dozen sliders.  Those things serve a purpose.

Yeah, no.  Gonna have to disagree with you there. White Castle is never necessary.

 

On a road trip to the Northeast several years ago, I indoctrinated my spouse (born and raised Texan who can appreciate Whataburger) to White Castle.  Oh, I knew what we were in store for, having eaten it before...and she had heard of it...but I insisted that we try it just so she would fully understand the general grossness of it.

 

In her words, she had to get a shake from the McDonalds across the street just to wash away the aftertaste.

That's been answered a thousand times. If you don't know the answer by now, you're clearly not interested in it.

I was just doing some quick back of the napkin calculations from yesterday's turnout patterns among the big counties. By my estimate, if Cruz's support is four percentage points less than the dotard's in Collin, Tarrant, Williamson, and Hays counties (and the libertarian garners 3%), then it is very possible that Beto would eek out the slimmest of victories.

Change in Republican support (2016 -->2018) necessary for Beto win. COLLIN: 55.2% ---> 51.2%; TARRANT: 51.7% --->47.7%; WILLIAMSON: 50.9%--->46.9%; HAYS: 46.9%--->42.9%.

So, basically turn three "purple" counties "blue": Tarrant, Williamson, Hays, and turn one "red" county "purple." Given that the rapid population growth in those counties is largely due to folks moving in from other bluish/purple states, I don't think that possibility is totally out of the question.

God forbid Texans get cheaper and wider access to healthcare without the threat of bankruptcy. Hopefully we can all look forward to another bill or two actually passed in the senate sponsored by Cruz? His past successes for the state certainly merit 6 more years

How is healthcare getting cheaper under Beto and the Democrats?

Hell with Cruz you barely get someone from Texas voting. I'm truly sorry that you think that an absentee canadian-born carpetbagger represents Texas.

That’s an odd group of counties to focus on. Williamson is 12th and Hays 24th in population.

Dems had all three branches plus a filibuster proof senate.  

And gave us the piece of shit ACA.  Which absolutely butt fucks the middle class

R's have all three branches, have campaigned against the ACA non stop since 2010....and it's still here.  

Looks to me like the R's are responsible now for the ACA butt fucking the middle class.

Not sure what you're saying there, but yeah, I agree folks need to get out to vote.

The point in my post was that I extrapolated yesterday's turnout to 2016 voting patterns in the big counties, but then shaved four percentage points off for the Republicans in those four counties and it was sufficient to tip the balance over to Beto. And, there's a specific reason that I picked those four: they're the closest to tipping from traditional red to blue counties and have been trending in that direction the last few cycles.

We all know the big cities in Texas are new blue (with Fort Worth being the last holdout). We also know that Austin and Dallas' growth is spilling over into the suburbs and that is irrevocably changing their voting patterns (just like Ft. Bend has switched Democratic in the last few years).

So, what I'm saying is that there is hope, and for god sake: GO OUT AND VOTE!!!

Who gets free medical care in this country?

Ironically, the people without insurance who default on their medical bills. And then we all end up paying for it anyways. And insurance companies arbitrarily increase the price of service so they can skim off the top. Sure am glad we killed the single payer option during compromise efforts in which hundreds of republican amendments to the ACA were voted on over the course of weeks while it was getting "jammed through".
