I live in Fort Bend County, Texas.  Most experts are pretty sure that this is the year Fort Bend will flip Democratic.  I think local Republicans agree with that because this is the weakest slate of candidates they’ve put up in three decades.

The Fort Bend Herald, a family newspaper who has not had a female or a minority on its editorial board since ducks started going barefoot, probably will be the only newspaper in American to endorse Donald Trump.  I can’t give you a link to the newspaper because they charge ten times what the New York Times charges to view their stories online.  So, I’m just going to steal one on the front page.  They can sue me.  My lawyer is better than their’s.

The Republican County Chair molts twice a year, but it’s great having the extra eggs.

Okay, the Republican county chair has caught whatever it is that Gary Johnson has because there have been bunches of debates, some as recently as 4 years ago.

Democrats have incumbents, too.  They’ll debate.

My theory is that Mr. Republican Gibson saw the Trump / Clinton debate and wasn’t willing to take a chance considering that his two non-incumbent candidate are the most vulnerable.

Plus, then nobody can ask the Republican Party Chairman why at last report, his party is $23,000 in debt.  The FEC says you can’t do that.  That’s not allowed.  They did it anyway.

And to be fair, even the Fort Bend Herald said that debates are good for democracy and they disagreed with the Republican Party Chairman.  For the first damn time in history.

If you see Mike, tell him I said he’s earned the title of The Coward of the County and I know what the failed former Rosenberg Mayor is scared of.
