Maybe the DNC has some sort of a future after all. Yes, Clinton is a terrible person and likely would have been a horrible, divisive president. However, the Ellison/Sanders/Fauxahauntus clan are just flat out left-wing nutcases that embrace the philosophy of communism. They were rejected by the public last year, and were managing to destroy the party. Hopefully they will just go away and some adults can rise to power in the DNC.
Good thing that the Dems are being assisted by Steve Bannon. The guy is out there throwing molotov cocktails at the GOP in his attempt to destroy the party. Trump can't help them--he has no idea what the policies are, no influence and has managed to alienate both parties.
I'm hoping Bannon gets a lot his wackos running for the midterms. Between's Trump's idiocy and the GOP civil war, the Dems have a really good shot. There are plenty of young solid Dems making plans under the radar, and they have nothing to do with Perez, Sanders or Clinton.
The are 7 or 8 candidates in the Democratic primary against Culberson. A couple stand a really good chance. The district went for Clinton. It would be the first time in my long life to live in a Democratic congressional district.
If the Texas Ds turnout, Beto can beat Cruz. He is really good.
It all depends on turnout. The Rs have convinced Texas Ds there is no point in them voting. Cruz was elected with a less than 30% turnout.
Well one thing for sure is they need to prioritize their issues...it can't just be amnesty for illegals, transgender bathrooms , and free college. Those were the highlights from the 2016 campaign and it didn't sell
But you didn't care enough to vote for the elected primary candidate in the general.
Of course I did. That is why i didn't vote for Hillary. I wanted a true alternative to Donald.

Had Bernie run as an independent, would you have voted in the Democratic primary?
I'm not sure you are thinking your answer through. Whether I vote in the primaries would have been determined on who was running. If it was someone I support, I would have. As an (I) Bernie is in whether I vote or not.

I don't know anybody who supports amnesty for illegals. Plenty support some sort of path to citizenship for the collateral damage done to people by parents who brought them here as children.
Others can be sent back or given a green card if they have an employer. I know of nobody who suggest automatic citizenship for them.
I'm sure some do. They think they can save the world one person at a time.
And as always, business owners want to keep labor cost down for everybody. They would go for some work permit.

That's nonsense - you do understand that there are records kept by the Texas Secretary of State ..
The total number of votes, 7,993,851, was 58.57 percent of the registered voters. The voting age population was estimated at 18,279,737. Cruz won by 56.45%.
Now it true that not nearly that number voted in the primary - they tend to think that it doesn't matter if they vote. In the case of the Democrat running - that is the case. The turnout was so low when Cruz ran in the GOP Primary for the Senate because the voters thought there was ZERO chance that David Dewhurst would not win.
Even Dewhurst was sure he would win.
Of course - Ted Cruz would have never won the 2012 Election without all the Lawsuits that the Democrats/Eric Holder brought to delay the elections and give him the TIME to gather support. Bottom line - Ted Cruz is in the US Senate today because of Eric Holder - which I think is a total HOOT!
[color=Due to legal turmoil in the redistricting process, filing deadlines were changed twice, and the primary date changed once. The original filing deadline was December 12th.[5] That deadline was first moved to December 15th and then December 19th by a federal court due to delays caused by redistricting legal challenges. When a final map was issued, the December 19th deadline was once again moved to March 9th to allow candidates more time to file in light of the delays and map ambiguities. The primary date was first moved from March 6 to April 3 before finally settling on May 29.[/color]
Those are my very favorite elections - the elections in which one of the Candidates is so Arrogant that they believe they can't lose .... i.e., David Dewhurst, Hillary Clinton, Eric Cantor, Leticia Van de Putte
As for Beto - he will win the typical Texas Counties that Democrats win (he will certainly win the D Primary) - the Rubber Meets the Road is the General Election and while Ted Cruz has lost support in Texas - he will win the Election IF he doesn't get primaried. Beto will win Dallas, Bexar, Travis, El Paso counties and may even pull out Harris County ..... but no Democrat can win a State election with just the Large Population Counties - it takes more than a dozen Counties out of 254 to win a State wide Election in Texas.

That must be why they refused to let retired congressman Jim Wright vote because his drivers license had expired.
It also helps if the candidate for lt gov owns radio stations in Houston and Dallas. Then gets his BFF forever to file as a D. The BFF says, oh no. he can continue his radio program while he runs. The labor lawyers in Austin sure got played on that one.
