Dana Milbank wrote a piece this morning that I’m going to print out and keep for a while to reread.

You might want to, too.  It’s some fine writing.

Okay, I think taking the Senate is the way to go.

This morning, my ears started flapping and my head almost flew away reading Nate Cohn on the Texas Senate race.  He called MJ Hegar‘s race against John Cornyn as “flying under the radar.”  The thought that we could win a Texas Senate race or that anybody was even thinking about it is stunning.

I’m not a giant fan of Hegar’s.  I know she has failed to connect with black women and that’s a major mistake in a Texas general election. But, she’s what we got because the national party boys took her hand and led her to the top of the heap, and I hate when they do that.  To be honest, it wasn’t much of a heap.

Beto fell victim of rock star ego, thinking he could run for president instead of senate.  I will give him kudos for working 28 hours a day this election, helping other candidates and organizing an effective team to work with state representative candidates all over the state.  The Castro Brothers are sitting around waiting over there in the corner for someone to hand them an election.  They are both nice, smart guys, but there’s not even the scent of courage in their suitcases.

So here we are with a candidate for senate who doesn’t fire up anybody except the fellas who don’t live here and want to use Texas as an ATM machine.

And there’s a slim possibility she might win.

The Washington Post this morning talked about how the replacing a justice might give Trump a boost.  I don’t buy it.

I flat love Houston.

Houston is where this:

Spawned this …

Thanks to Glen for the heads up.

Let’s say you’ve got $100 in campaign donations that you can give without going hungry or having your electricity shut off.

Where does it go?  I’m picking a winnable senate race.

But, then it gets hard.  My heart says Jaime Harrison because Lord help me, I fiercely hate Lindsey Graham, but is that the smartest investment? Mark Kelly has a bunch of money and a big lead.  Cal Cunningham in North Carolina because Tillis needs to go.  We’ve got the race in Wyoming.  I mean, it gets sticky.

To be honest, I’m not in a panic because I don’t think McConnell can get the votes, but I just want to make sure we take the Senate.

Who do we send our $100 to?

“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination." pic.twitter.com/quD1K5j9pz

Remember Graham before Trump had dirt on him?
