    Why does Texas so overwhelmingly vote for this crap? Do they ever get tired of losing for the sake of “owning” teh Libz?!

      I wouldn’t call Republicans winning by 10% of the vote to be overwhelming. I think that kind of narrative only serves to help Republicans by reinforcing the idea that it’s hopeless for democrats to win. Also doesn’t help that a lot of media only talk about elections and not the 2 week early voting period that we have. It’s so bizarre that early voting isn’t as well-known, given that TX was one of, if not the first, state to enact an early voting period over 40 years ago. NY only just started early voting a couple years ago!

      The Texas cities one democrat, but the rural areas go stupid. So we elect stupid. Keep trying, though.
