But if TX & FL re-elect their current slate, can we dispense of the idea that they can be turned Blue? Seems like money wasted whenever it’s spent there, and we lose. Whether it’s by 2% or 8%.

and I still don't see the "purple" dems keep talking about. There are folks moving in from out of state but I suspect there are more rethugs moving in than dems. We will see.

those non-political types to come to their senses and actually participate, and vote based on more than Fox News bullshit.

the failing electrical grid. I expect a large portion of Texas to freeze unnecessarily again this winter.

so winter is a bit late. It will take another long duration event where the temperatures are below freezing in order to test the electrical grid. Meanwhile, I'm still wheeling myself around the apartment turning off all the lights and devices that my brother leaves running thoughtlessly.
