Run-off elections tend to trend towards the incumbent because of the low information voter. These challengers need to make themselves taller and wipe Grahamnesty out in the primary. Make him the lowest vote getter! Even if it requires the challengers to tag-team and eventually rally behind the strongest of the group. We don’t need no more stinkin’ Grahamnesty in the US Senate. He needs to retire to some gay bar down in Miami.

“Run-off elections tend to trend towards the incumbent because of the low information voter.”

That may not apply in this political climate but we’ll see!

“Run-off elections tend to trend towards the incumbent because of the low information voter.....”

Maybe you need to have a chat with now Senator Ted Cruz...

I was one of about ten people in attendance at a whistle stop of his in Temple, Texas on his way to a larger meeting in Austin during the Primary. He did not cut us short...

After the beautiful and charming Sarah gave Ted her endorsement, Ted moved to the head of the pack of challengers.

His plan was to be second in the primary and win the run off.

He stated that he had a very good chance to win if he made the run-off because the incumbent could not get the 50.1% needed in the Primary and that a lot of his supporter’s would not come out for the run-off. Meanwhile over 50% of the voters voted against the incumbent and they would be more driven to vote again for a challenger near to the views of their previous choice...

Well Ted Cruz, being one of the duller blades in the box on Capitol Hill, lucked into being right again. Ain’t it absolutely amazing how that man continues being so lucky on his pronouncements with so many other genius types surrounding him trying to lead him onto the road to enlightenment.

At any rate, I ended up casting the three best votes and making the three best donations in my life. Even if I have the opportunity to vote for him as president, these will still be the best because they got him started.

BTW, The Cruz’ signs we had along our mile+ fence line are now family heirlooms...
