Prediction- Wendy Davis will be Governor of Texas one of these days

[malaise]

She whipped their sorry asses.
She also showed Dems how to deal with them.
That was a major victory today.

1. Her next try can be in 2020. Good luck to her.

[TexasTowelie]

7. Actually the next time will be in 2018.

That is also when Ted Cruz will be up for reelection. It would be nice to take out two for the price of one election.

[yeoman6987]

10. Thanks for the update

Oh I hope Cruz is kicked to the curb. I can't stand him.

[Skittles]

2. Ms. Davis is awesome, and Abbott is a piece of SHIT

[TwilightZone]

6. Couldn't have said it better myself.

[malaise]

9. I hope you are fully aware that

shit is the end product of a very important process in the life of animals - you are insulting shit here

[Gabi Hayes]

21. Mary Roach! is that you?

ever read any of her stuff....science related, very entertaining. lots of yoks

mars, food, corpses, digestion, military science (not about armaments, killing, etc., but uniform design, food development, medical treatment...fascinating)

she should do some work on PC lunatics run amok, maybe?

[malaise]

22. No bro

Will have to add her to the list of things to do after this nice project I'm about to start

[Gabi Hayes]

24. yo bro.....feel the green

in my face and in your pocket!

[malaise]

28. LOL

We'll have to do something about that

[leftofcool]

3. Or in Hillary's cabinet!

[AwakeAtLast]

17. Ooh! I like the way you think!

[malaise]

23. No she's too important for the rebuilding of the Democratic base in

Texas

[onehandle]

4. Texas will be Blue sooner than they* think.

*Pathetic extreme conservative GOP gun nuts

[pinboy3niner]

5. From your keyboard to God's ears...

[floriduck]

8. I really hope you're right. I think she's awesome.

[Gothmog]

11. She was hurt by voter id in 2014

I like these charts



Such chart is consistent with the real results of Texas when you compared 2010 to 2014



Voter id laws depress voter turnout according to the facts

[malaise]

29. Good stuff

Thanks

[Wounded Bear]

12. All evidence points to the fact that she would be a good one...

She's a treasure, to be sure.

[sangfroid]

13. I have no doubt you are absolutely correct

nt

[Night Watchman]

14. With Trump as the 2016 GOP Nominee.....

I like her chances in 2018!

[Gabi Hayes]

15. hey! check your PMs

you're gonna LOVE this

[herding cats]

16. You know, I saw people here talking ill of her during her last run for governor.

No, I'm not kidding, it stood out to me because of my Texas roots and how much better she was than the other choice. She's hands down, leaps and bounds to the left of Greg Abbot, the person who ran against her and won.

Stuff like that makes zero sense to me on a board for Democrats. Yeah, she's more middle of the road than most Progressives would like, that's what it takes to bring a red state back into the fold, though. Truth is, she's way more liberal than the person who beat her. She would have been a huge step in the proper direction if she'd have won.

We need to wise up and learn there's a world outside our own private bubbles. Myself included. Sometimes it's alright to give your time and money to a candidate that isn't 100% inline with your views if they're more like you than the alternative. Actually, is more than alright, it's necessary!

[LanternWaste]

18. She's a rare public voice of the Democrats in Texas

She's a rare public voice of the Democrats in Texas, and she's much savvier than people give her credit for. From her position as my city councilperson to my State rep, she's a treasure!

[Gabi Hayes]

19. hey....one more time

check PMs

[malaise]

20. Just did

[bigwillq]

25. That would be cool (nt)

[still_one]

26. That would be nice, but I suspect it won't be soon

[DamnYankeeInHouston]

27. I worked very hard to elect Wendy.

I had the feeling I was working harder than she was. She did very little campaigning. It was very disillusioning. She may have felt it was a waste of time, but she could have put on a much better show.

[malaise]

30. That's painful

Thanks for info from 'inside'
