6. She sounds like a remarkable women. It's too bad she's running in Texas.

I don't really think a woman has a chance in the increasingly cartoonishly hypermacho Lone Star State. The state that elected Anne Richards governor has decayed into a reactionary cesspool of toxic masculinity.

And let's face it: military service, once seen as an inarguable asset for any political candidate, has now become a staggering liability, especially for Democrats. Look how the repukes pissed all over the Vietnam service of Al Gore and John Kerry. They even savaged their own, John McCain, after Cadet Bonespurs said all of those putrid things about veterans, POW's, and sufferers of PTSD.

There once may have been a time when any Republican sneering at the service of any candidate of either party would be denounced in the strongest terms. But now, with Trump-worshipping meth addicts and trailer-dwellers calling the shots in the GOP, anyone with any service under his or her web belt gets smeared against the wall like so much shit.
