Agreed

He's actually only running for vice-president. I say that as a Texan.

Hurd doesn't represent the RGV, technically

District 23 is more what the locals call the 'Borderlands', as I understand it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas%27s_23rd_congressional_district

The RGV is /are the districts in south Texas, encompassing Brownsville, Harlingen, etc.: District 15 (Vicente Gonzalez), 28 (Henry Cuellar), and 34 (Filemon Vela). The TXGOP having gerrymandered the shit out of those districts, you wind up with pretty conservative Ds there.

It is not 'liberal'

nor is it 'progressive', and I would go so far as to say 'undemocratic', to summarily dismiss the views of others by claiming that they are not actual people, or that their views are based on Russian propaganda.

It is in fact garden variety ad hominem. Let's dispense with this McCarthyist nonsense, please.

She's not my cuppa tea, either

Doesn't support either M4A or the GND.

"No distractions", given what's been revealed about her staff, is laughable.

Hard pass. Bottom of my list.
