TX Lt Gov is now tied

National media, of course, ignoring TX races that DEMS are doing well...of course, given they don’t know what to make of Beto, I’m not surprised.

TX *LT GOV* is a big deal....and it’s frigging TIED right now.

Pete Sessions (r) is losing by SEVEN.

And...I want a LIST of the national DEMS who, per CNN, tried to convince Beto to share his war chest because THEY thought TX was a wash. We. Need. Names. They need to step down or be voted out (depending on what position they hold).

Gov is a hood ornament. Dubya had to play nice at one point cuz he HAD to..his Lt was a Dem. The ONLY thing that made him run for the WH was when the Lt became a repuke..OMG, THAT Lt race was a bloodbath..mainly cuz dubya would not have left his term as gov cuz with a Dem Lt gov if he stepped down it would have been a Dem taking the Gov office. So once the repuke won that Lt race, dubya made his move.
