11. I hope you are right!

Nov 5

As Rep. Allred said to Senator Cruz, “you need to lose your job!”

If Senator Cruz does not, it will be clear to everybody that there is nothing a Republican can do that is so bad the people of Texas will care. I so hope that is not the lesson the gop learns in Texas in this election!!

The Texas GOP truly needs to joust with humility. The Texas GOP is actually killing women now (!!!!)! and blaming ob/gyn’s while they are doing it. I do so hope “the eyes of Texas are upon” this and that they are going to send some of these nihilistic fools packing.
