[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beto is not done because there is a long way to the election.  But this will play only to his base which in Texas is 25% of the vote.  The middle in Texas is about 30%.  That group leans right center.  This will not play with them.  This was a bad day for Beto.   But other events may turn the tide.  If I were running against him in Texas I would wait until September and go up with an ad that has Beto crashing in and the mayor saying this was no place for this conduct and Texas deserves better.

Great because then Beto could run an ad with Abbott saying Texas deserves better and O'Rourke says, "I agree and here I am."[/quote]

The mayor would be saying that about Beto --- kinda does not work in reverse except for the base.   This election in Texas is a fight for the middle.  The middle is further right than the middle other places.  Gun rights in Texas extend well into democrats as well.  If I were advising Beto I would have told him to wait for the funerals to be over and deliver a major address that outlined sensible gun control for Texas.  That could have made some inroads int he middle.  This stunt will not.[/quote]

Sure sure sure. Wait until everything happens calmed down and we are over it.
Good idea.
Honestly if Texas doesn’t give a S about their kids, I guess I don’t either.[/quote]
