In a different state he'd be called to the mat for his antics. Texas Republicans, well, to put it as nicely as I can, they're too stupid to even realize the people they're voting into office are laughing their butts off at how easily manipulated they are at every turn. I mean, they don't even make their candidates work for it there. The only time they pay the least bit of attention is in a primary race, after that even if it's a well documented fact that is brought up against the Republican candidate, they all just stick their fingers in their ears and start screaming "Evil Liberal lies!"
We could take the state if we could just get people down there voting, but that's about as easy as pulling teeth on a crocodile. Too many people think the "fix" is in no matter what they vote for, and as such just don't bother. It's a self fulfilling prophesy if ever there was one.
