Long Shots Carry On Despite Stacked Deck
Being a Democrat in a Texas election is like being the fastest sprinter outside of Jamaica or the best beach volleyball team outside of the United States. Unless something odd happens, your medal will be silver or bronze.
Eventually, a Democrat will win a statewide election in Texas. It could happen this year, though that seems highly unlikely given the recent history of elections here, the relative organizational strength of the candidates statewide and the fact that the incumbent Democrat at the top of this year’s ticket — President Obama — lost soundly in Texas four years ago.

How interesting that you always bleat "the republican is too far right to win". How about the typical democrat is too much of a lying marxist traitor who views our constitution as nothing more than toilet paper for his treasonous backside to win.

Paul Sadler reminds us that Democrats Built Texas. We put the educational system, infrastructure, and many other things in place that made us "The Great State of Texas" Democrats have a lot to be proud of. It's time to stand up and fight for American Values, which are the values of the Democratic Party.

American Values? I thought those were things like freedom, capitalism, free exercise of religion, basic human rights such as the right to life. All things today's Democrat fight against.

It appears that the NRCC is in a panic over Paul Ryan's elevation to the national ticket. They've sent a flurry of memos since Saturday, and the latest is over messaging on Medicare and Social Security. Despite the fact that the actual memo came from the NRCC, the instructions are straight out of the Luntz playbook, as outlined in 2009 and 2010.
Via Politico:
“Do not say: ‘entitlement reform,’ ‘privatization,’ ‘every option is on the table,’” the National Republican Congressional Committee said in an email memo. “Do say: ‘strengthen,’ ‘secure,’ ‘save,’ ‘preserve, ‘protect.’”
The email read like a warning shot, alerting Republicans that they would soon face a barrage of Medicare-themed attacks and telling them they needed to be ready for the scrutiny that was to come. The internal email, obtained by POLITICO, was a clear and immediate sign that Republicans knew Ryan could create trouble down ballot for GOP candidates in tight congressional races.
See, it is not what is good for the country and it is not what is good for the citizens.... it is just a play on words.... so the Republicans can continue to bamboozle you..... every day.
