Why did the GOP suddenly turn on Gonzales? I thought sexual shenanigans were perfectly acceptable to them. |

This is now the Republican candidate - this MAGA influencer calls the district “deep red” when it’s only R+7 and a lot of those Rs are Latinos who voted for Trump in 2024 but hate his guts now. |
They don’t care that he had an affair. Their messiah was married three times and had continuous affairs throughout each marriage, including with underage girls and porn stars. It’s NBD, Trump normalized that for them. The problem is the affair partner lit a match to herself and died. That’s the issue. Maybe had Stormie Daniels or one of the multitude of Trump’s affair partners iced herself, or more accurately lit a fire as she was doused in accelerant, we wouldn’t have such a despicable and foul person as CIC. |
My point was, whatever he did, the party finds it disqualifying for serving in 2027 but not for serving right now. If something is disqualifying then it should be disqualifying, period. But Mike Johnson can't afford to lose one vote even for the few months it would take for a special election to replace him. |

Yes please. Mom, teacher, lawyer seems like an excellent combination for a representative. |
Interesting that the article doesn't mention the GOP candidate's videos making light of the Nazis liquidating Jewish ghettos and talking about his copy of Mein Kampf. He claims it's all a joke, of course. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/us/politics/texas-democrats-brandon-herrera-youtube.html?unlocked_article_code=1.RlA.27vR.NEBr_lsqgjhf&smid=url-share |
Republicans would’ve continued to support Gonzalez had he won his primary outright, but since it went to a runoff, they don’t want to spend the money and they also know that he’s vulnerable. This is nothing to do with the values. This is just a pure power move. |
| MTG's seat is going to a runoff between Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris. Unfortunately, the Republicans didn't split their votes enough to let Harris squeak out a win tonight. Fuller should win this one by about 20 points. |
Oh good lord A very accurate name. |
