“Now is a good time for #3 to flame out.. his supports will go to #2.. i wonder if he was a tea party ringer”

No, leave him in until the primary is over. He is a “niche candidate” who has substantial appeal with those living near the border. He will garner votes that Stockman and others would not get. Everything now should be centered on denying Cornhole a primary victory without a runoff. The Tea Party should have had a number of “single issue candidates” on the ballot to siphon off the votes of these people who might otherwise vote for Cornhole.

Perhaps among Anglos living near the border, but not necessarily with the Mexican contingent down there, which is a numeric majority. You don't get elected in the RGV unless your last name is Juarez, Gutierrez, Villanueva or Valdez. Rhetoric such as that used by Mapp will lose him far more votes in the Valley than it will gain him. Guaranteed.

I forgot it’s a run off state. I was thinking winner takes all.
