They need term limits for governor in Texas. Hot Wheels is running for his fourth term.

Why does Herrerra look like Jackie Daytona, regular human bartender?

Considering that the Dem primary was basically uncontested and the Pub primary was at least theoretically contested, that last graph is extremely encouraging, IMO.

As I think someone else said earlier, Dems got their dream result in Texas, IMO. A largely uncontroversial primary with a clear winner (and I think the right winner) while Pubs will spend time and money in a circular firing squad in a run-off. Personally I still don't think Dems have more than a 1 in 3 shot of flipping that senate seat, even if the national electoral environment is as positive as hoped (and especially if Cornyn, who I think will be harder to beat, is the nominee), but IMO that's a better shot than they've ever had before.
Goodness I had the same thought! At first I thought why does that guy look familiar but also like an AI? Then it popped into my mind
I don’t dismiss your campaign for Congress years ago. I admire your gumption for running and making your views known.Let Zoo be the ornery Zoo we have come to know and love. His experience and historical knowledge of NC politics and UNC sports makes him a very valuable contributor to the board. He takes me to task from time to time and is quick to dismiss my proxy campaign for Congress years ago, but I take no offense. Let Zoo be Zoo
I do dismiss the idea that the media should have covered a longshot candidate with any depth.

MAGAs will see 143% and claim nothing can be above 100% and so there must be election fraud. Send in ICE to patrol the elections!

"143% the total number of votes Harris won in the 2024 general election."
The beatings will continue until moral improves.

it should be like this nationwide in a few months.
the GOP's policy of harassment and imprisonment and torture of largely innocent Hispanic folks using their ICE and CBP brownshirt thugs just as they were beginning to really make inroads with that community is going to backfire?!

Following up on this, I don't think it's any coincidence that this inquiry was announced as soon as it became clear that Gonzales's primary would go to a run-off:Pretty sure it's a combination of both:

I'm not suggesting congressional Pubs actually have any personal morals here that make them conflicted. They simply realize that even by modern Republican standards, the whole thing is an absolute PR nightmare.
I think some folks on the R side are going to push Gonzales to drop out of the primary runoff, and slow-walk this investigation until his term is up if he agrees.

If he wins a Texas US Senate seat for the Dems, we need him to stay in that seat as long as possible (or at least until a reasonable successor can be determined).
