Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Word is coming in that Joe Biden will not be coming to the spin room after the debate. Maybe it’s not a huge issue, but every candidate attended last night, and all tonight’s crew are expected to make an appearance.
A note on the spin room: it’s a slightly obnoxious name for an area in the press filing area, which is across from where the debates take place. After the candidates get off stage they come and stand in the spin room and are mobbed by journalists. (Some more than others – late last night I saw Jay Inslee essentially wandering about on his own.)

1As Senator Harris noted, tonight has been allowed by the NBC crew to descend into a food fight. She was politer and said something (paraphrasing) to the effect “Americans do not want to hear a food fight, they want to hear how we’ll put food on their tables.”
Let’s hope the second hour is better tonight. It was last night.
2Sen. Gillibrand is confirming my fear about her physical voice being able to withstand a national campaign. Had the same fear about Sen. Sherrod Brown, who is not running.
Withdraw after tonight: Michael Bennet, John Hickenlooper, Marianne Williamson, and Andrew Yang.
3Biden did his usual “Barack and I” routine and stumbled over facts and figures. Harris has her usual good tree top answers but details not as forthcoming. Bernie kept to his talking points. Not seeing a Castro moment like last night.
4Did a quick cruise of some of the on-line polls. The bots are out for Andrew Yang tonight. It was Tulsi Gabbard last night. The only thing they have somewhat in common is a strange Libertarian cast. Or, simply the bots are simply out to create confusion and promote chaos.
5Kamala Harris came through as most articulate and took on Trump and Biden.
6Biden looked confused in the 2nd hour; couldn’t hold the tide of the next generation.
Why is Marianne Williams up there anyway?
Lose Yang, Bennet, Swalwell, Williamson, Hickenlooper, Beto,
Tulsi Gabbard, DeBlasio, Tim Ryan, Inslee, Moulton…
Let Bullock in for the next debate.
These 2 debates reinforced my preference for a Warren/Harris ticket.
7My big five are Harris, Warren, Buttegieg, Castro and Booker.
8It’s a long way to November 2020 but my current list is Harris, Warren, Castro and Buttegieg.
9Great night for Kamala!
10Harris/Buttegieg … would love to see that combo!
11Biden looked like he couldn’t hear a lot of the questions and only reacted after looking to see what the rest of the folks had done! I.e.: raising his hand … and then being questioned if he had actually raised his hand.
I think he made a very poor showing!
Williamson and Yang … good grief! Too many need not carry on!
The run of the mill republican voter will be scared stiff about Harris. Even more than of Clinton.
12My dream team would be Harris/Buttegieg.
13Harris, Warren, Buttigieg, Booker.
