Matthew Dowd, the chief strategist of former President George W. Bush’s 2004 reelection campaign, dropped his bid for Texas lieutenant governor on Tuesday, pointing to an emerging field of diverse candidates vying for the number two position in the Lone Star State.

In a statement announcing his decision to end his candidacy, Dowd, who was running as a Democrat, cited an opinion piece he wrote for ABC News in 2018 titled “Us white male Christians need to step back and give others room to lead.”

In the article, Dowd called for more diversity in electoral politics, writing “white male Christians still dominate the rooms where most decisions are made. This must change in a much more dramatic way.”

He said he was compassionate from the get-go. Some people didn’t listen.

Please- the company i’ve been employed for the past 35 years had a “buy black” campaign in September. I was dying to ask, “when will you have a buy white campaign?”

I’ve taken them to task in the past with their one sided racial hypocrisy and will do so in the future. Since I’m close to retirement and have a large pension coming my way, i have to pick and choose my battles.

But I DO miss Mr. Tippy Toes, Low Energy Jeb, the Guac Bowl Merchant.
