I welcome her to the race, although i thoroughly respect her decision to wait until Castro decides, one way of the other. Personally, i was hoping Beto would challenge Cornyn. I think he’s got the best shot at that seat. Better than Cornyn, himself!
She’d be a better Senator than Texas has elected in a while.
which part of “she lost by 20 points to Greg Abbott” are people not understanding?
if she lost that badly, its pretty clear she’s not much of a candidate — regardless of how good a Senator she would make.
Not sure about that. Lyin Ted beat Beto by more than 500,000.
I did not realize Joaquin was thinking about challenging Cornyn, and I live just down the road from his constituency. The only chance we have of turning Texas purple is to have a powerhouse top of the ticket in 2020. Beto pulled a lot of people to the polls who had never voted before. His coattails were wonderfully long, making for some close and successful races. The next presidential candidate needs to bring Beto level energy to the whole country. That will sweep a lot of good Dems into office with them.
First I’ve heard about this. All I can say right now is: Wendy, do not hire the same campaign people you used last time. They suck bad.
If you run, you need to run an entirely different campaign - you kept going right last time and you were entirely too apologetic about everything.
Yeah well the GOP is still running in stark terror over losing that closely to Beto so apparently there is more than one way to see that.
I’m not familiar with Ted Cornyn. Who’s he?
Seeing her name enter the discussion got me thinking about the new (old) Republican stand-by argument, and that is abortion rights. If that’s really where Republicans want to go in this next election, i think Wendy would be a damned good candidate to stand up for what’s right. I can’t really think of anyone better, actually.
Well, yes, the Texas electorate wouldn’t be the first one to reject a good candidate!
Do Not Want.
A candidate whose signature issue is abortion is the wrong person to run for - and win - a statewide in Texas where they’ll have to rely on a significant number of Hispanic Catholic votes.
Also, she’d need an entirely different campaign strategy than last time.
I don’t think that will work with so many Hispanic Catholics being the Democratic base in much of Texas though. A statewide candidate has to win every one of those to have a chance and I think a big part of what tanked her last time was the perception that she was “the abortion lady.”
Whoever it is needs to recognize that Cornyn is an ignorant thug and act accordingly.
Como?
