Michelle Davis, I hope that you will check out Zack Vance, Democratic candidate for HD-19. Vance ran in the Republican, that’s right GOP!, primary in 2022 for lt gov. He voted GOP in both 2020 and 2022. I live in HD-19, and support the other, real Dem candidate. Thank you in advance! Love LSL, and cite it regularly on my Dem club’s blog and FB

Regarding your question, I don't recommend providing links to the websites of Republican candidates. Let us not give them publicity. I hope too that it may be a sign of things to come that Republicans are leaving a lot of seats uncontested. Let us vote blue all the way through and make sure that our like minded friends and family members do the same.

Thank you for the feedback. Yeah, I don't care about the GOP primaries, but I wasn't sure if everyone else did. Glad we're on the same page.

candidates , are u reading

i think i have figured it out...a few beers, a few convo's ,a few emails, pure insight

the allure of Putin is that he is a white dude dictator ......no R's is gonna swoon for a yellow dictator

so that is the trick.......elide Putin the White Russian with Xi the Yellow Chinaman

Tucker will be heaving up his cavier

let me ammend my basic thoughts with a more considered arguement from Amanda Marcotte Note she gets paid for the deep think, i do it for fun.......

the Putin adoration is part of white christian nationalism. Putin is their guy cause he's white and strong.....like they all aspire to......

i recieved a thougtful email from a candidate........thanks ...if ur listening i apoligize if i hurt ur feelings

but

I don't care about ur thoughts or ideas.....ur a dem,,,,we likely agree on 99% of every thing in life

what i want u to do is put a whoop ass beat down on the ass kissing boot licking trump loving Democracy despising R's , any and all . Total annhilaiton and abject humilation is what i want. Any and all R's are anti constitutional.....Plain and simple..and that is bad and there is no coming back from that

now is time to go after the R jugular....if we survive 2024 election then we can return to ethical and moral politics.

just so u know how venal they are.....#1 Trump hater Cheny won't say she will vote for Biden

kay granger , leaving Congress, seeking board postions and other accoutrements of post congressional life won't call out Trump

i don't trust any one who pulled the R lever since 2016

below is a more strongly worded exhortation to gehring ..he is a vet and should be outraged......so far he hasn't expressed an opinion on the matter

i personally will vote for whoever promises demosntrably to prosecute the war in Ukraine against Putin, D or R.

"Sebastin

get any reporter u can find, grab him by the lapels and scream in his face that R's are rolling over for Putin

my neigbors are Lockheed and NAS JRB and are appalled by R's appeasement of Putin

if u can't get in front of a camera lambasting R's appeasement to Putin, quit the race"

Thanks for the informative article. I especially liked the concluding paragraph that Republicans are leaving much more seats uncontested than Democrats. Hope this is the prelude to more electoral victories for Democrats next year in Texas.
