I endorse whoever can take out any Republican senator, especially in Texas. If that is Joaquin Castro, great. If that is Beto O’Rourke, great. We already have better ideas. We just need candidates with credibility and strong local appeal.
I think they are telling Beto “We’ve got this.”
There was this 70’s Spanish movie called Esperame en el Cielo (the title of a popular romantic ballad). It was about a prosthetics store owner in Maddrid in the 50s . He loves to screw around and attend wild parties at the local bordello.
He bears a physical resemblance to Generalisimo Francisco Franco. The Franco Secret Service is conducting surveillance on him early in the movie and then they pounce and kidnap him. They do sort of a reverse Queer Eye for the Straight Guy remake of him. Turn him into a completely convincing body double for Franco, who has totally lost interest in the pompous day to day diplomatic ceremonies and appearances at public works inaugurals. He also appears on the Spanish Movie Theater newsreels that always include a segment fawning over El Caudillo. In these newsreels, he always makes a secret gesture to his wife (tugs on his earlobe) who misses him and follows him in the newsreels. The woman who plays the wife is the same woman who plays the Mother In Law in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.
The body double begins to resent the conditions of his captivity (no wild parties at the local bordello anymore) and to make mischief with his ability to fool even his kidnapper handlers when he is wearing one of Franco’s uniforms or suits. Anyway, if only one of the Castro brothers holds public office, the other one could stand in and be his body double.
Are we sure we’re ready for twins to be President?
We’d never know who exactly we elected, or who is in the Oval Office signing things…
Beto isn’t running for Senate, he has seen all of TX, he wants to see the USA now, he is running for President.
Seriously, there could be a President Castro?
I mean, after the Bay of Pigs and those thirteen days in October, 1962, and all? Hahahahaha!!!
I know.
If Cornyn votes against the resolution to block the emergency funds, he is going to lose votes, both from Hispanics and South Texas landowners. Anything that gets rid of Cornyn would be a good thing.
