NYTimes doing a live poll of the Senate race right now https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/upshot/elections-poll-txsen-2.html

Cruz is winning as expected but Beto is killing (+12!!)in the "Only voters who say they're almost certain to vote" turnout model.

They've interviewed 28 18 to 29 and the next category is 30 to 64 which is massive grouping of very different people. Personally I hang up on these things when they call.

Both shutup. Beto frankly would be a milqtoast lib. But he's a milqtoast lib from texas. Him winning would be a slap in the face to all the people who say you need fuckers like Bresdan andMachin to win in the south. That is great. Like Beto is pretty much a Booker. But then that means that people from bluer states now can be pressured if red states can produce Beto we can ask why a blue state can't produce someone at least as good as him. Also, great to see Cruz lose.

That is an insult to Beto. Booker is a senator from New Jersey he can't do anything but shill for finance. And never forget friends no matter how trash Beto is, you will be hearing and seeing less of Ted Cruz (and possibly imploding his marriage) is that not worth it?

I think that's true; it's just another example of Boomers being utterly unable and unwilling to consider any kind of long game when it comes to anything.

The thinking is basically, "Donald Trump will harass and humiliate the people I don't like, and it gives me such a thrill that I don't care if it poisons conservatism for a generation and hastens the rise of socialism over the next couple of decades."

History will look back on the amount of actual Socialists the Republicans made by calling Obama one and laugh.

Young people hate Donald Trump, I think the damage that the GOP has done to itself by electing him is going to hurt them for a long long time.

Bush wasn't that well liked either and Trump is worse. Man Bush into popular Obama into Trump is making way too many Dems and that's not even getting into demographics.

For sheriff in the Dem primary, Michelle Barielles Vela is currently under indictment for perjury and evidence tampering, and that’s only the first of a dozen headlines that suggest she should never hold any authority whatsoever. As far as I can tell, Pete Lozano was a lifelong Republican who supported the Republican candidate (who was wretched, and lost, and then was made a US Marshal by Trump) last time, and seems to have switched to Dem for this election because he has an axe to grind with Salazar, the incumbent. The others are lower profile, so that’s as far as I got in researching the candidates before deciding I’ll probably just vote Salazar. I don't know if he's actually good, but some of the enemies he’s making seem like the right kind of enemies, and the other candidates seem demonstrably worse.

Oh Michelle's that idiot who resigned from her spot and didn't know how elections laws worked so she technically couldn't run or something like that right ? Didn't she get charged with like corruption or something in her old spot and that's why she ran

I figured since it was sheriff my choices were bad and lol called it, Salazar seems ok ,Tervino is pulling the praise officers in public at all times line so that's a no.

I think Rafael Alcoser III and Freddy Ramirez look decent enough . I will admit to having no idea about county chair politics or railroad commissioner so no idea for that one either.

I'm not trying to be a dick when I ask this, but is Sema Hernandez even running an actual campaign? She's raised all of $7,500 this entire cycle and I never hear anything about campaign events with her, just see her on twitter all the time. There was a Ramirez event in my town (that I couldn't make) and I've seen some Hegar events nearby.

I don't mean this in the centrist "serious candidate" mantra re: her policies because her platform is great, but it just doesn't really seem like she has any kind of plan to try and actually win the primary.

Classic American leftist, god I hope the next generation of leftists get that we have the moral high ground and nothing else driven out of them because Gen X has it in spades.

This is the same for me, a lot of smoke - but no fire. On the other hand, people in political positions tolerate a lot of poo poo from abusive bosses - campaign workers aren't allowed to unionize and every Dem campaign in TX would hire scabs in a seconds. Elected officials are verbally and emotionally abusive and campaigns themselves are extraordinarily high stress with long hours.

I'm very glad I sold the gently caress out and don't work in that business anymore, but I tend to believe the things I hear about lovely bosses in politics. Just vote for Royce West - been a good D operator in the state leg forever. Reward him with a run at a statewide.

Royce West's position on M4All was the deal breaker for me he seemed nice otherwise
