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.
