Don't get too hype about those TX numbers, PPP already has a D house effect and those are commissioned polls by a liberal org. so it's going to be more pronounced.

Way too late to replace him on the ballot but I don't think it'll matter since, as we've seen, GOP voters don't give a poo poo about sex pests as long as they have an R next to their name.

My second thought was that my vote doesn't matter, because I live in Texas. It doesn't matter if I voted for one or the other, because on election night, when I see Texas on the TV in the common room, it's going to turn red. I was right, but not as much as I thought I would be.

I'm teetering between "what a fuckhead" and "this has to be satire."

I mean it is kind of an argument for splitting the electoral votes so every vote starts to matter more but that's probably not what he was getting at.

So, what are the odds on Cruz giving Beto some good moments to campaign on today in the Kavanaugh hearing? I know he ceded his time to the pinch hitter the GOP brought in, but, I mean, it is Ted Cruz.

I have no idea, this thing has passed into the realm of absurdity, with two people actually I Am Spartacusing assaulting Ford. I have no idea what will happen or how it will play.

My sense is that the extremely well credentialled and educated witness will make a good impression and Kavanaugh will be objectively terrible (Kaso....which?) but the GOP will say that the opposite is true

Texas Tribune posted:

"Can you commit to serving out your term?" the Tribune's Alana Rocha asked.

The Texas Tribune thanks its sponsors. Become one.

In response, Cruz began: "You know, as we stand here today, the Texas Board of Education is getting ready to vote on a proposal, a recommendation they received, to delete the word 'heroic' from the description of the defenders of the Alamo."

His reply, which went on for two minutes but did not answer the question, concluded with, "We should be standing up for who we are as Texans and Americans."

Asked the same question, U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke was unambiguous.

"I will commit to serving every single day of my full six-year term for the people of Texas," O'Rourke said.

Cruz is a bad parody of politicians in general come to life.

I tried fixing the link but it just did the same thing again. Maybe something weird about my phone and the awful app: https://www.texastribune.org/2018/09/27/beto-orourke-ted-cruz-president-2020-senate-race-texas

Apparently the prosecutor's not working out like they'd hoped. She's being respectful, but she's trying to interview Ford like they're in a deposition, which doesn't really work when you have to stop every five minutes to let the democrats talk.

After all this bullshit with Kavanaugh, I may not vote for a national-level Democrat for a very long time. I'm certainly not going to vote for O'Rourke now. If he wins, I want no responsibility for it.

I probably still won't vote for Cruz. I still don't like Cruz.
