(9,129 posts)A golden opportunity for a serious Texas Democratic senatorial candidate arises, and the Texas Democratic Pary looks likely to be stuck in cloud-cuckoo land. So farthe leading contender in the state Democratic primary is a Lyndon Larouche Democrat and low-information Texas voters are about to cause the Gene Kelly effect to happen yet again.
For those Texas DU'ers who haven't voted yet, PLEASE vote in the primaries for someone like Ms Maxey!

(430 posts)All three names mentioned above are of people not colloquially worth a bucket of piss.
Stockman, unless he does something maniacally stupid, will be nothing but a footnote in years to come. Cornyn is an evil-hearted creep.
Cruz, in years to come, by some historians will have an interesting paragraph, or chapter written about him. Cruz has both delusions and ambitions beyond the average political critter, but he is nuts. We are talking wacko, he is in the establishment party, and he worked the establishment route (including Princeton), and he has no problem with irritating his fellow Republicans.
Cruz makes interesting eruptions in a day's disposable "news", but he chips away at his own foundation.
