(43,534 posts)It totally fits with his "misadventures."
There are Democrats protesting the way he bulldozed it along; meanwhile, Newson shows the way. It can be done without being a boor.
Abbott, of course, fell totally into line. Poor bastards. Can't think anything through.

(5,252 posts)By what I've read, they modeled some of these 'new GOP districts' based upon the hispanic vote for Trump in 2026---
completely disregarding more recent polls showing hispanic approval for Trump policies
going into the sub-cellar because of ICE actions and his total failure to improve the economy,
only making it worse instead---
Texas Republicans could well be in for a BIG SURPRISE---
MAYBE THE BIGGEST SURPRISE THAT ANYONE HAS EVER SEEN!!!! (SAD!)

(5,252 posts)By Texas Republicans' evil plan, she may end up out of office for a time---
but that could end up being a mistake---
if relieved of the obligations of office, she could become an even bigger national spokesperson
than she is already becoming!!!
The battle of the Alamo, after all, was a tactical defeat for the Texans--
but a strategic victory!!!!
There was a Crockett there as well,
although the modern Crockett is an improvement on the old version,
which is only right.... (although he did side with the natives against Andrew Jackson, there's that)...
