I don’t underestimate the people of Texas, I am a people of Texas. What I DO see is the calender. Cruz was a relative unknown, but he WAS known. Cruz was one of the attorneys in the Heller case.
Stovall and that other dude are practically unknown in Texas. I just don’t believe there is enough time to make a difference. I will do what I can in my circles but I’m not optimistic.
Yes, the calendar may be working against us in some respects. But people’s memory is very short and maybe they won’t forget what an incredible jackass Cornyn is.
As involved as I have been in Texas politics for the last ten years, neither I nor most anyone I knew knew much about Cruz, although with a lot of my friends it was “anyone but Dewhurst”.
Never say never, never give up. We’ll just have to see how it all shakes out. I haven’t missed voting in any election since 1960 but I can guarantee you I won’t vote for Cornyn.
