A take-down of a piece about Beto and then their own take on him.

Born to be in it.

Sigh.

I posted a Guardian column a day or two back that expressed similar Beto reservations.

I find him unimpressive, though he might do okay as a congressman or mayor of Austin.

Rep. Nunes is apparently more sensitive than he lets on. He's suing Twitter and some individual posters for $250 million. I don't think he will get it. Or anything else.

Opinions being silenced?

Whose opinions are being silenced, in your oh so humble opinion, Bambi?

Bambi's continuing series of highly ironic posts about the Right being silenced.  Which poster here has the highest wordcount the past week?   What political party dominates US talk radio?

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

That was my (not so subtle i thought) point.  He needs more time in the trenches.

Yeah..... saw that.

Trump more concerned that the other party is getting free air time.  Doesn't wish it to be criminalized - but regulated.  Wants the election commission to get involved.

Typical.

No one gets more earned media than Trump.

The lawsuit currently filed against Devin Nunes' Cow is, IMO, udderly without merit.  If Nunes' has a beef with his opposition, he is free to answer "his cow" and other critics in the same medium they employ.  This is probably a publicity stunt, and Nunes will milk the situation for all its worth.

You mean like he does?  Yeah, that really should be "regulated."  Just report what the President and Republican leaders say.  The Democrats can take out ads in the papers.

He's Hereford now, but not forever.  Have they polled his constituents?  I expect those figures ungulate quite a bit.
