Yeah, Beto running is a symptom of a much much much deeper problem in the state party and people should be furious at the party first, not Beto (though its ok to be mad at him too).

Unsurprisingly, the guy who failed to take back Culberson's seat from Lizzie Fletcher is running in the district that was explicitly created for him: https://twitter.com/WesleyHuntTX/status/1460303053744218112?t=yZJ-UQ6JppuKSpTHkv1wgA&s=19

zoux posted:https://twitter.com/PhillipMartin/status/1460279402118402050 I know the thread despises Guillen but, this is a sign of a much deeper problem. The hispanic community is not the white knight savior of Democrats that they always assumed it would be. Guillen is going to be Guillen no matter what letter is after his name. You lose the support of the hispanic community and you''re hosed eternally in Texas.

Well, we'll see what happens. If Guillen loses his primary or general, then we'll see just as many "Democrats haven't lost south Texas after all" takes as we did after the last election. Guillen is consistently the most conservative Democratic member of the House. I think he's even to the right of Lyle Larson in that partisanship index the tribune does. It's not like Gina Hina swapping parties

Unless there's some sort of brand infringement, they have no grounds to. Of course, Austin University needs to go through the Texas Higher Ed Coordinating Board and SACS and get accredited, assure their curriculum meets state benchmarks, etc. That might be the trickier part.

Eh, it's not like all Texas schools must have the same accreditation. It's just a third party vouching that you're actually teaching people the poo poo you say you are. As long as people hiring your grads accept it no one cares.
