It was a very satisfying moment this AM when I, yet again, pulled the lever against Dewhurst. Lord willing, let this be the last time it’s needed.

I just feel so sorry about this person who made Abortion Barbie Wendy Davis so popular!

Why is it a Greek tragedy?
Isn't he a supporter of Illegals? If so, he made his bed, now it's time to lie in it...
BTW, isn't the President of the Texas Senate also a supporter of the illegals? Hasn't he been screwing over his fellow Republicans?

No big loss on DD. Think of it as enforced term limits. Dan Patrick will have to prove his mettle meets his mouth like Cruz. Irks me that we couldn’t get rid of Cornyn.

I suppose when you are in Washington and surrounded by pompous wealthy jerks that it might not occur to you that the we rubes here in Texas just might not like the guy, no way at all.

Getting rid of Dewhurst sends a message to Cornyn and Rove that we’re still here and we’re not going away.

Boo-frikken-hoo on Dewdew.
I ain’t in love with Dan Patrick, but I’ll be voting for him to replace the worthless RINO, Dewhurst, today.

Five lessons listed and no room for the most important one?
Namely, RINOism doesn't sell well in places where real Americans still make up a voting majority.

...pulled the lever against Dewhurst...Where, in Texas, can you pull a lever any more? In my county it's all electronic voting. I'd love to pull a lever against Dewhurst if I could. I will be able to tap a screen, and I suppose that's something.
That said, I do have a lot of respect for what Mr. Dewhurst did in funding the museum at Utah Beach in Normandy. Perhaps he could spend some more time there after he's done with "government service."

Of course you are not going away in Texas. Just the opposite.
It is the Rove RINO’s Going away.

Dewhurst isn’t nearly as bad as Straus, whom the San Antonio GOP insists on keeping on as Speaker.

If we could have gotten rid of Cornball on March 4, it would have sent a wave across the South and probably engulfed Loveable Lindsey as well. I read today that Chris McDaniel is a likely winner next week in MS but that Mark Pryor leads Tom Cotton by double digits in neighboring AR. Apparently, the Democrats will also keep the AR governorship with Mike Ross, as Asa Hutchinson is a weak two-time candidate for governor.

The polling I saw in AR was very dubious. Cotton will win and Hutchinson should be carried in, if only because AR has realigned (but he is an uninspiring retread nominee that unduly puts the contest at risk).

Me, too. Ever see/hear the Dew talk? He makes my skin crawl. Pure political scum.
