  1. Nephew played at Rice and is a head football coach and athletic director at a Houston high school.
  2. Beto resigned from the House.
  3. What in the hell does expressing gratitude to our veterans have to do with whether they voted for Trump? If your mom voted for Clinton then you wouldn't celebrate her birthday or Mother's Day? Grow up and/or think.
  4. It's Happening! We are getting a redo. ?
  5. Hmm, makes me think you make stuff up. I don't, I'm 67, too old to make up shit to post here. I escaped a small racist rural east Texas town in 1969 to attend UT. The county went 85% Trump/Cruz and 15% Clinton/Beto. I've got friends and siblings still there. I visit frequently. I do know that the mostly women who were posting about the military killing everyone in the caravan would NEVER do it.
  6. Some people may not be familiar with rural east Texas which is where I am from and the Confederate flag waving Trump supporters who take the view that the people in the caravan should be shot. And they are evangelical Christians which is in-congruent to my evangelical rearing back in the 50's and 60's.
  7. Right. Anyone who thinks this is tongue in cheek isn't thinking or isn't thinking clearly.
  8. A group of my Facebook friends from my rural east Texas town, when it was announced that thousands of military were being sent to the border, wrote that the military needs to shoot everyone in the caravan. Those sentiments got lots of likes. These former classmates of mine are all in with Trump and they are all evangelical Christians. You can think this is fabricated bullshit but it isn't.
  9. You should head to Vegas.
  10. Not so fast. The urban areas which are in the biggest counties in Texas are growing quickly and are increasingly voting Blue. In 2 years Dallas, Harris, Bexar, Travis, El Paso, Fort Bend, Williamson will have a higher number of voters who will vote for Democrats. It is a ticking clock that Texas will turn purple and Democrats will have the numbers to win statewide. It probably won't happen in 2 years but it could if Trump is taken down by his own ineptness or by Mueller.
  11. Oh really? How did Democrats in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan do? Think Trump still has those 3 states which won the election for him?
  12. Republicans keep saying Democrats lost tonight, but they already had control of the Senate. Republicans lost the House, hence Democrats won the House.
  13. Dude. Case was filming.
  14. Did you see Travis County went 75%-24% for Beto? Hint: Travis County ain't aggy.
  15. I see this triggered the conservatives on here to neg me. Boo hoo. I'm from a town in east Texas that had a Sun-Downer sign stating N_**** Don't Let the Sun Set On You In ______________. And in 2018 this is not one black in a town of 3000+. MANY, I didn't say all, that are stuck in that town are poor white trash and they are racists.
  16. I said many are, not all are. Learn to read.
  17. No it doesn't. It speaks to the rural Republicans, many who are white trash but in their minds at least they aren't Black or Hispanic.
  18. Carville said that too. Not true. The early vote is in but not today's which is keeping hope alive. Travis County is reporting only the early vote too and with 100,000 votes today, there is hope.
  19. Beto is a Texan, Rafael is not.
  20. So in 2016, Texans age 18-34 made up 23% of the voters and in 2018 Texans age 18-39 make up 24% of the voters. Doesn't make me think this is that good for Beto.
  21. I'd like to see the % of voters 18-39 in the 2016 general election in Texas.
