They look like bagged corpses like the kind you'd see in Mexico. As far as "who's idea was this?" It was Rick Perry's idea. Perry had a fascination bordering on the sexual when it came to toll roads and he had 14 years to indulge it. But now the cost has been pinching the suburban white voters who make up a lot of the GOP who commute 40 minutes to work every day.

https://twitter.com/madlinbmek/status/968873372665958401 loving Dawnna Dukes man quote:One reason, many of their supporters say, is that they’ve simply shown up, while Dukes stopped appearing at most public events since her November interview. Her absences have been so frequent that rival campaigns are said to keep a running spreadsheet to record information about every Dukes no-show. I swear to god if she wins the loving primary

Interesting dot map of DFW in the 2016 election: http://personal.tcu.edu/kylewalker/maps/dfw_election.html#9.5/32.9475/-96.8959 A little weird. There are votes in the middle of Lake Lewisville. BrutalistMcDonalds fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Feb 28, 2018 |

Just briefly skimmed the LWV guide, why is Sema Hernandez the only Dem candidate running for senator that bothered to respond? I'm pretty unhappy with Beto's voting history and lovely absences and her responses all sound pretty much what I want from a representative, so is there any reason I shouldn't vote for her instead? Checking her social media she seems to engage in a lot of the left vs. center slap-fights which I'm not exactly thrilled about but I'd still gladly take that over a candidate I can't rely on to vote progressive or even show up to important votes.

Is anyone here voting for who kicks Culberson out of office? Most of the choices seem at least decent so I'm having a hard time choosing. Conversely, all the governor options seem like garbage except Tom Wakely, but I've never heard of him before.Comrayn posted:She thinks Hillary Clinton had Seth rich killed. I thought that was Moser. And it's probably why I'm not going to vote Moser for TX-07 but there are less options to choose from with Senator and ultimately I don't find believing a crazy conspiracy theory about a rich person who is already safe in society as harmful as not showing up for the Keystone XL Pipeline vote or approving this year's NDAA, both of which had/will have a much larger impact. I guess I could leave that part of the ballot blank but that seems like a waste.

He's actually a friend of my wife's family via school ties but he also just seems like the best candidate as well.

I've met the fella and he doesn't seem all that bad for a patricidal drunkard. At least you can count on him to always be in his office and excited to see visitors (even if he is a bit pushy about getting a few peanuts for his trouble).

It's not exactly a great sign, but even more pathological and insane beliefs which have caused real and massive harm and killed millions of people aren't considered disqualifying for Democratic politicians so I don't see why this should be.

The myths that the political establishment believes in are no better supported but are more harmful. I'd like a not-crazy choice but since I didn't get one, I had to decide whether "a grandma iced a guy and everyone covered it up" is more or less harmful than "  is more important than ICE agents rounding up a million people", and I've already early voted so the decision is made.

If you are dumb enough to fall for one you are dumb enough to fall for more and they are only harmless dumb beliefs as long as the person who holds them is harmless. I’m sick of business as usual why can’t we all get along bullshit while the right gets everything they want too but having elected officials who will sponsor state anti vaccination efforts is not an improvement. The guys who want to bomb all brown people and quietly bring back Jim Crow have just had more time in actual power to accomplish their damaging goals.

Very accurate description of the Texas Democratic Party: https://twitter.com/cd_hooks/status/969621658825904128 The anti-corruption message in the RGV should resonate since Democrats down there are notoriously corrupt.

Usually it takes a federal corruption sting to remove people, as we're currently seeing with a judge who was caught on multiple counts of bribery. Then there was the whole Panama Unit thing a few years ago, which ended up sending the county sheriff and his son to federal prison. The Valley is a pretty cozy (and safe) place to live, but yes, the politics here are awful.

Does anyone know why all these stats are for the "10 largest counties" and not just all the counties? I suppose probably less than half the population lives in the other 244 but I'd still like to know. https://twitter.com/TexasTribune/status/970158026719145984
