  1. Gridlock until 2020. Then it gets interesting. 

     

    Historically what is the pattern on returns coming election night. I think that there is potential for some big swings in the prediction markets depending on how quickly the urban vs rural votes come in.

    Beto has run a meaningfully different campaign. I am not sure how that will translate to Senatoring. We probably won't get a chance to find out, but my hunch is that it would be a mild disappointment much in the same way that Obama was not able to convert his aspirational campaign rhetoric into transcending governance.

    Troops, corrupt unaccountable intelligence agencies, and everything involved with our interventionism and bolstering of the military-industrial complex included.

    I’m not naive, and I’ve used Beto as a teachable moment for my kid. Time will prove if he’s true to his principals -we know Cruz at this point.

    I do actually think that Beto is different in a meaningful way. And he is going to fucking lose. Because American (and Texas) politics are totally dysfunctional. The latter is my primary teaching moment to my children.

    Maybe, but my endpoint is not as rough as the children whose parents try to convince them that politicians in DC are their role models.
