I thought it was a pretty good show, but Will Hurd never really did give a good answer as to why he identified as a republican. He tried, but the answer didn't quite cut it.

Anyway, thanks for posting Rhiannon!

Especially since Trump has been attacking our intelligence agencies where he spent most of his career. Maybe that's the only way he could win in his district? I have a friend who was mayor of a neighboring town and is thinking of running again. He's an Obama supporter, has been with his husband for over 40 years and joined me in talking a mutual friend into voting for the Democrat for another local office rather than the Green candidate - so I was kinda flummoxed to learn he ran as a Republican - but maybe that's the only way he could win? It boggles the mind...

And I always post the "official" version since I know it won't disappear, though I don't know why they let out the monologue this time. But I agree it was a good show!
