    I’m sure that will come up in the confirmation hearing, which is why the Senate is so important. And why the Democrats keep focusing on Texas even though Kamala has a very slim chance there. Cruz is vulnerable, and if Allred takes that seat and keeps the Senate in Democratic hands it will go a long way to limit the damage Trump can do by limiting his choices.

      Idk about Allred actually getting Cruz. He’s in Texas, he’s black and polling I’ve seen has been largely unchanged with Allred down 3-5%. As seems usual we’re counting on women and minorities to do enough to stop the worst but I really wonder if we can get the best.

      Voters seem to have goldfish memory every election about how conservatives keep fucking us everytime they’re in power.
