This same scenario destroyed Clayton Williams resulting in Ann Richerds election to Texas Governor. Republicans may have just been given a gift.
That Democrats sheets are showing!
Your typical republican voter is not in the business of lying to get what he wants so he does not recognize it in others. When a republican is smeared with racism he typically loses some support from good people who fall for the smear. Your typical democrat voter is in the business of lying (espescially to himself) and like one theif recognizing another, they realize the racial themes are just lies. If they don’t understand it intellectually the get it instinctively. What is the saying, “Don’t con a conman?” My guess is the lib will see no fallout from this.
