I can’t even imagine. I hope they sue him into the ground. How many of those kids would be alive?
I mean if the GOP weren’t always looking for victims to sacrifice to their gods, all of those kids would be alive today. It would be their last day of school today, yes? Someone would have forgotten their library books at home. Someone would have had butterflies in their tummy about the last day. They would have been looking forward to spending a night at a hotel to swim in the pool.
But they’re all dead now, and the GOP likes it that way.
Sue for what?
Y’all need to wait for the facts to come out. Good or bad.

Great because then Beto could run an ad with Abbott saying Texas deserves better and O'Rourke says, "I agree and here I am."
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.
I guess you felt it was too soon?
Politics have rules. One is you can’t as the non incumbent do anything political before funerals at the place where stuff happened. You can go somewhere else or you can wait. Incumbents can go and do stuff like Abbott was doing. Not fair but that is what the public accepts. Has not changed since 1900. Remember Beto has to convince center right independents to vote for him. They are the ones that follow the rules. An activist on the left or right says screw the rules. Their base loves it. The center never does.
Which rock have you been under? All political and "appropriateness" rules have been out the window since 2016.
Sure. But this is not an appropriateness rule. It is a political rule. Even where the the country has changed these rules have not. For the bases sure but not the middle. The middle responds as they did 50 years ago. Not sure why people don’t get it.

I have been running campaigns since I was 18. I am in my 50s. All over the country for both parties.

Beto is a GD hero! I only wish he had pushed Abbott’s wheelchair off the stage or better yet a cliff.

I've not been a particular fan of Beto but I am after this. Good for him! Will send him a donation today.

So while the town is Hispanic/Latino, they probably run a lot more conservative than your average American. The town went for Trump by a big margin, I think
Right. Because the GOP cheats. Paxton, that famous misogynist criminal, admitted that the GOP’s hardcore cheating is what has kept the state looking red.

Well, then they got the government they voted for and sadly, their kids paid the ultimate price for it.

Abbott was standing up there telling lie after lie. He said the local and state police rushed in to safe the children. Looks like CBP got the word out, armed up and went in to save the children while local and state law enforcement tackled parents. WTF? When will the people of Texas wake up?
Go watch the press conference. It looks like a few of the people on stage know the truth and are uncomfortable.
