any, and I mean ANY candidate who plants an "R" next to their name, has a better than even chance of winning an election. Texas is red, through and through..........blood red.

I'm pulling and voting for Beto!

We have to stop the infestation of republicans.

There's nothing "conservative" or "small government" about these nutjobs. Reagan was a Republican and he was tough on Gorbachev who tried to institute progressive reforms. I remember since I was in Russia at the time, I went with my grandmother who joined a peace group. TFG, on the other hand, loves the current murderous dictator. People need to wake up and realize that these so-called Republicans are not on the people's side, if they ever were.
