So bad turnout for R and it's possible

Holy poo poo

Possible but highly unlikely as a lot of typically red states would turn blue before TX and I don't think Clinton is campaigning seriously in the state.

It is incredibly easy to vote in Texas due to the lengthy early voting times. I can usually go vote on a whim and finish within 5 minutes of entering the polling area. So turnout probably won't be much different from previous elections.

psst Mark Kirk is confined to a wheelchair

This is pretty effecting

quote:

his is how Mark Kirk wants you to see him. It’s a Ju­ly morn­ing, in a first-floor foy­er of a chil­dren’s hos­pit­al. A dozen on­look­ers are watch­ing him as he treks up a flight of stairs. But Kirk, a Re­pub­lic­an sen­at­or from Illinois, isn’t alone on this jour­ney. Trail­ing him, step for step, is a man named Eddy Brown. The 68-year-old Brown suffered a stroke in Feb­ru­ary; it left Brown’s speech slurred and his walk­ing im­paired.

Now, Kirk, dressed in a navy t-shirt and shorts, is chal­len­ging Brown to over­come his par­tial para­lys­is and reach the second floor. “Eddy, fol­low me,” Kirk says, turn­ing to make sure Brown is still with him. Brown’s reply is quick: “I’m with you, broth­er.”

The climb isn’t easy for the sen­at­or, either: In 2012, just a year in­to his first term in the Sen­ate, he too suffered a stroke. Today, his left side re­mains par­tially para­lyzed. He is of­ten con­fined to a wheel­chair and needs an aide’s help with some ba­sic tasks, like get­ting in and out of cars. As a res­ult, Kirk’s own trek up the hos­pit­al stairs re­quires a meth­od­ic­al ap­proach: lift­ing his right leg first, paus­ing for a second, and then swinging the af­fected left leg over.

But on this day, the 55-year-old Kirk is not a vic­tim; he’s the guide. And his protégé is fol­low­ing him up 21 steps, to the second floor, where cof­fee, re­fresh­ments, and the ap­plause of spec­tat­ors awaits. At the top of the stairs, as Kirk and Brown con­grat­u­late each oth­er, Brown’s wife, Mary, be­gins weep­ing—over­joyed, she says, to see someone show­ing that her hus­band’s life isn’t ef­fect­ively over.

Still want him to lose though. But he seems like a good guy.

Which seems a bit high, given other polling we've seen. But this is certainly an argument he can make to Jeff Flake et al, you know, if he was a normal candidate capable of persuasive arguments.

Trump believes that the world is going to end in a nuclear hellfire, leaving only wolves and urban youths to roam its remains.

Frankly I'm surprised Trump hasn't talked about BLM at all.

I assume it's because even he is smart enough to recognize that minefield? I legitmately don't quite get it, it's right in his rhetorical wheelhouse.
