A big surprise in Texas, Silvestre Reyes of El Paso was defeated in the primary. The district was once competitive, but isn’t usually now. Businesswoman Barbara Carrasco is the GOP nominee. Maybe she can win over some Reyes supporters, as he and O’Rourke visibly disliked each other.
“The district was once competitive,”
Was it?
I think it’s too far a leap now.
Still it’s nice to see a rat who thought he had a job for life go down. Sadly though he’ll get a new cushy job as a lobbyist. I think Charlie Stenholm went with the horse meat lobby. I wonder what Reyes will choose.
