        What if that’s what they expect you’ll do?

          All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy’s? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given.

    Good, fuck Elon Musk. Anyone who gets his seal of approval is immediately suspect.

    Losers tend to find each other easily in the crowd somehow.

    That’s nice and all, but basically all the other guys he was rooting for were victorious. Real distressing freaking primary.

        Yes they will. It’s Texas. The last election the Republicans swept most the Races by 10 points. They’re all going to win.

          I’m still holding out hope for a few of the Democratic nominees.

          I’m mostly holding out hope for Allred to unseat Cruz. I think if just that much happens, the tides may start to shift slightly in Texas.

          He turned a deep red district in Dallas blue in 2018, and he’s retained popular support there. Of course, this is just me being optimistic and hopeful.

          I’m sure something will come on the news within the next week to remind me how much I hate this state and that the US should just throw the whole thing away (actually the entire SE US would be nice to cut off like a cancer).

          I hate that you’re correct.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
