In case youhaven't seen MJ Hegar's letter about Trump...

[TreasonousBastard]

Email from democrats.org I got this morning. Bolded something I didn't know, but is damned impressive.

DemocratsJoin us.

William,

When I read the article yesterday about what our Commander-in-Chief said about wounded and dead soldiers, my stomach dropped. I saw the faces of so many people I lost in my aircraft flashing through my mind.

I medevaced soldiers off the battlefield in Afghanistan. Soldiers wounded so gravely that their lives would never be the same because of their injuries -- and soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country, whose families would forever have a void that can never be filled. Our Commander-in-Chief thinks that they’re suckers.

I’m one of the pilots that got shot down in combat. After we were shot down, my crew and I managed to get our patients to safety. I strapped myself to the skids of our rescue helicopter and returned fire on the Taliban fighters. Our Commander-in-Chief thinks that makes me a loser.

It’s not about the name calling. That’s not the part that makes me sick. It’s the fact that this Commander-in-Chief makes decisions about when and how to deploy our troops -- and he has absolutely no respect for their courage, and no regard for their sacrifices.

It’s sickening, but this isn’t surprising. Anyone who has paid any attention to Donald Trump over the last few years saw him disparage patriot John McCain, denigrate the Gold Star family of Captain Humayun Khan, disrespect and discredit transgender military members, and steal funds from our military bases for his border wall. The list goes on, and on, and on.

Yet my opponent, John Cornyn, refuses to take a stand for our troops. Still.

In the hours after this was reported, Senator Cornyn tweeted numerous times. Not once did he mention the President’s comments. Not once did he stand up for the 164,234 active duty military members here in Texas.

Who will hold Donald Trump accountable? Unfortunately, it’s not going to be John Cornyn. He’s let the President get away with it… again, and again, and again.

It’s on us.

This is a call to action to every patriot across the country: The time is now to stand up for our veterans, our military, and the next generation putting on the uniform. We need to send a resounding message that this is unacceptable -- to send that message at the polls and hold our leaders accountable.

Our country is counting on you to answer the call.

Thanks,

MJ

2. The question is no longer whether Trump supports or respects the troops; he doesn't

The question is whether the voters in Texas have the pep to back their rep. Trump thinks the troops are suckers and losers; John Cornyn says nothing. Texans talk a very good game in support of the troops. Will they vote for Silent John or MJ Hegar, who actually served in the military?

3. Hegar is down by double digits and it's gonna be a tough slog to beat Cornyn

But the orange anus just gave Hegar a bump in the polls.

6. On 538 she is only down 6, prior to all this.

While I agree that it’s an uphill battle, being down single digits versus double digits makes a big difference to anyone thinking about donating.

(and the four most recent polls show her down anywhere from 1 to 7%.)

7. Well, there you go!

I'll be waiting for the next set of polls to roll out. I understand the orange anus is in real trouble in Texas, but having the senate seat in play is just icing on the cake!

13. I saw this yesterday since I'm a donor for her campaign.

If you have stray dollars lying around, she needs more ads to get more recognition throughout Texas.

4. Very impressive.

She "should be" a shoe-in.

8. Every Democratic Senate candidate

needs to speak/write the same way about their republican opponent. You know none of these republican Senators will say anything negative about Trump. This is a huge weak spot that needs to be attacked.

9. I like her. I just donated again to her yesterday.

She's running a good campaign.

Unfortunately ... it's Texas.

11. Think she just earned a contribution.

12. Probably off topic but I find myself remembering how he ordered our troops

To abandon the Kurds as well as our base in Syria. Wasn’t it taken over by Iran or Russia when we left. Horrible horrible CIC.
