The other interesting thing to watch is will Bernie Sanders actually come after him hard? You wonder if that will happen - they do seem to be buddies from the Senate. I know his crazies will attack him online (and by crazies I don't mean the few folks here on this site who like him - they don't fit into that category - but he's got plenty of true crazies who love him on social media).
One stunning local race last night was the Republican primary for House Seat 22. Troy Nehls (who quit his job as Fort Bend Sheriff to run for the seat) won and avoided a runoff with like 52 percent of the vote. He beat a huge field of bigger names including Kathaleen Wall who has a rich husband and cute last name, but who is now officially the Hillary Clinton of the local Republican Party having proven no one can stand her. Pierce Bush (grandson of George - one of Neil's kids) also was in the teens in terms of votes, but he's young so it's too early to cast off all his future political aspirations. I still think Dems can win that seat in November (they have a strong candidate who won like 60 percent of the primary vote himself), but Nehls is going to be a much tougher candidate than I would have expected).
ETA - whoops totally forgot to look at the other counties for House Seat 22. Once you add in Harris and Brazoria County votes, Nehls and Wall are now in a run-off. Still, Nehls got like 41-42 percent overall and will destroy Wall in a run-off election IMO. My description of Wall doesn't change. She's the lady who got shocked by Dan Crenshaw in 2018 in a House seat on the other side of Houston. Doesn't matter which part of town she runs in, no one really likes her or is impressed by her money or last name.
how about TT vs Sesshee in bammers....that was a nice surprise....
I'm certain JR was still licking the bbg off the fingertips after that one....
lmmfao
LOL, if there was ever any doubt that Trump was still bitter about that, and that he will never endorse Jeff Sessions, that pretty much erases it.
One interesting point about the race between Sessions and Tuberville. Sessions has been running an ad where Tuberville says on audio tape that we should give all the illegal aliens citizenship.
Tuberville ads claim he is with Trump on immigration, but that tape disproves it. I wonder if that will be enough to push Sessions over the top.
Guess we'll find out on March 31, b/c the winner of that runoff will beat Doug Jones and be in the Senate next January.
I think Tubs misspoke some. He is against illegal immigration. On that recording he also mentions that the border issues are real and that some of those illegals will kill you. I think what meant was that people need to come legally, we need to know who in the hell they are, etc. https://audioboom.com/posts/7515301-02-2...immigrants

I saw Roy Moore only got ~7% of the vote.
Knowing Roy, I'm sure he would have preferred to finish in the teens.
How is that relevant to anything I posted, other than just a cheap shot by you b/c you're a Dem party supporter?
Unfortunately for you, Doug Jones won't get to run against Moore this time. Those allegations about Moore (which are perhaps true but 30-40 years old, and nothing ever came of them after the election) conveniently came out last time after the primary but before the general election. And although the Pubs tried, by state law they couldn't get Moore removed from the ballot. And Moore still lost by only 49.9% to 48.4%.
This time, Sessions or Tuberville will beat Jones by 10 points.

Serious question: Have you ever taken a Civics class?
Yes.
Then, surely you know that the electors are the only actual votes for POTUS, right? And the electors are decided by the states. The states would be those land masses on the first map. So, in effect, the land does vote. The "people," with data skewed toward coastal liberals do not.
On a positive note for Bernie (and it's real hard to find them right now) it looks like Bloomberg and Warren have a really good chance of not clearing 15% in California. If that holds it helps Bernie get a much larger chunk of the delegates.

Of course I do.
This is what I was trying to counter:

Thanks. All I've heard before is what was in the political ad. Context matters. But he still said those coming across the border looking for work can become citizens, all but the criminals. I disagree with that. They need to come in the right way, like all those who did so legally. Otherwise, why have borders or laws? And in that influx of illegal border crossings come the ones who do harm to us.
Will be interesting to see how it all plays out between Tuberville and Sessions. Right now, it's really close, I think.

"You folks." Maybe you can't read, either. I'm not one of those "folks." I'm indy. Both parties can go to hell. I just call out BS when I see it.
You threw in that jab at Moore, which had nothing to do with what I posted, just b/c you can't help your Democrat Party self. Then come back with more garbage about Pete, whom I also didn't mention. You're the one making sex jokes, not me.

I smell a rat here from the DNC and the establishment. Biden was rejected by voters in the first three states that he did not got any delidates in a couple of states, and all of a sudden people coming out of the woodworks to vote for Biden? There were some Republican pundits like Matt Lewis switched parties for the Democratic Primaries to vote for Biden to stop Bernie. The never Republican Trumpers are joining forces with the DNC to tip the scale to get Biden elected. They did the exact same thing when they joined forces with Hillary Clinton. The Republican and the Democrat establishments are working closely together. I do not think many of the Republicans in the Senate and the House supports Trump at all and is secretly working to get Biden elected.
I watched Cenk's meltdown the night of the 2016 election. That was funny. He could not comprehend how Trump won. He's wrong this time, too.
I don't think Bernie has anywhere nearly enough support to get 1991 delegates before the convention, and even if Joe doesn't make 1991, he will most def win a brokered convention.

Bernie wouldn't shut up about how great Fidel Castro was.
He also said that Mao's China had "democracy at the local level."

And David, that is what is called the Deep State. These are not Republicans or Democrats for party affiliation. They are bought and sold to corporate multi-nationals who want business as usual for themselves in Washington.
