I guess being belligerent, crying and shouting about wingnut Revenge of the Clintons conspiracy theories, and lying to the Senate under oath about "boofing" and "the devil's triangle" gets you on the Supreme Court these days.
Oh, and did you hear old codger Grassley putting his foot in his mouth? He was asked about why there aren't women on the Republican side of the committee, and he said well it's "a lot of work", but added " it's a lot of work for men too" after he realized how that sounded. Then he blamed voters for not voting enough women to the Senate ( but voters dont vote people to the committee), and said someone has told me they have been trying to get women on the committee but they don't want to do the work.
People who are stuck in the 1800's shouldn't still be in government, because a lot of them seem like they're not getting enough oxygen to their brains.

You don't run a candidate that loses. He needs to win first and foremost.

Changing demographics in Texas will give Sema Hernandez the Senate win against Cruz in 2022 if Beto doesn't win. She will get Senate in 2020 if Beto doesn't run. She took 25% of Texas in the primary with just 10K in campaign donations this term. Beto O'Rourke 61.82% 640,769 Sema Hernandez 23.72% 245,847 Edward Kimbrough 14.46% 149,851 Total Votes 1,036,467

Cruz wouldn't be up for re-election again until 2024.

Hispanics will outnumber whites in 2024 Texas.Nikki Haley will need to run president with getting Asian to move over to republican. A female republican will need to run senate instead of Cruz in 2024.

If Republicans were to elect a female President before the Democrats it would be the greatest troll in the history of American politics.

I've been saying for years they will. There is a pattern among other countries for this to happen then a minority/female is never elected again and everyone points to the one election as a 'hey we aren't bigoted/mysoginistic'.
Defecits ballooning. Is this the rights Utopia? Or does it look like Kansas? I don't understand conservative economic policy. And why they keep saying it works. It never has.

They don't really give the slightest shit about the deficit and never have, they just use it as an excuse to cut spending and immediately forget about it the second they want to cut rich people's taxes. All their shit about "trickle down effects" are lies made in bad faith.

This is freaky. We have homegrown terrorists now that are right wing conspirators.
What a strange time to live in.

It was like the Oprah Winfrey Show today, "You get a pipe bomb, You get a pipe bomb, And You get a pipe bomb!"
The Clintons, Obamas, Soros, Wasserman-Shultz, Biden, Brennan, CNN, and Waters got two pipe bombs in the mail today.
Notice a common thread? They've all been targets of Trump's vitriolic rhetoric!
Some idiot took up the attacks and made them a Physical Reality. That's what happens when you are a public speaker whipping people into a frenzy and giving them things to hate.
unfortunately, Trump waited until others spoke out against the action - the White House released two statements and Pence spoke out in public, AND THEN Trump followed everyone with a tweet "I wholeheartedly agree" and posted Pence's statement as a video.
He waited until he had a scheduled signing of an Opioid Bill to make a statement condemning the actions of the bombers (using someone else's words about uniting the country against violence, written FOR him of course)
Then tonight he had the perfect chance to take charge and be really presidential at his rally speech tonight, but he dropped the ball.
He started out good with the words of condemnation and stating that this will not be tolerated and we shall track them down, yadda, yadda, yadda...and then went straight into blaming the press for their bad articles and fake stories in making this kind of atmosphere for something like this to happen.
He blamed the victims, and didn't even name anyone or show concern for their well being - and didn't even own his part at all!
=======
but in good news, no one was hurt. And the FBI now has at least 6 unexploded devices to examine. (one was exploded under safe conditions by the bomb squad, and the one sent to Biden was returned to sender because of address error - so they were still tracking that one down as of now)
they'll be able to try to find DNA and fingerprints, and find out where each component was made and purchased. plenty of security camera footage to look through, not to mention the internet trails - they'll check and see who looked at that style of bomb etc.. they'll track them down, no doubt.
how smart were they? doesn't everyone know that the mail doesn't go straight to public figures by now? Secret service and security flag them first, DUH! They don't get their own mail.

Ted Bundy was a member of the Washington State Republican Party - had a lot of high contacts and even worked on a campaign. He was a serial killer - but struck a lot of terror in young white college age women (his preferred target). He also helped man the phones at a suicide hotline with Anne Rule (author of several TRue Crime books - including one about Bundy called The Stranger Beside Me). Fun Fact: he was born in Vermont, probably a 15-20 minute ride through traffic from where I'm sitting right now. yes. yes I do know way too much about serial killers
