We fighters like her not middle of the road people. I f we have learned nothing else over the years we should know by now that moral suasion doesn't work. She isn't afraid to make some noise and has the wit to go toe to toe with anyone. I'm a little turned off by Talarico's religiosity and I don't know if he has the chops to get mean and nasty enough to win in Texas politics. Old Cornpone has got old and lazy but he's still a smart and mean snake. And I am sick and tired of the "wait your turn" bullshit. Beto came close against Cruz and he comes from here in El Paso, which is like the outland. We are closer to the capitals of Chihuahua, Arizona, and New Mexico than our own. Being from Dallas is a big plus when it comes to driving voter turnout. Big cities have a lot of synergy. Anyway, i am glad she's in because it won't be the same old boring shit. We need to attack. The best defense is a good offense.
