What people in TX? There are low IQ voters who are but no one I know is buying his act.
He’s really not interested in this Senate race. From day one it has been for one thing and one thing only - to get name recognition for his POTUS run in 20. He’s got it. He’s now know across the entire US. Thing is, he has baggage that isn’t pretty. His mama has all sorts of problems with the IRS and money laundering. He’s got that DUI accident that won’t go away. He’s already got campaign fund problems he’s supposed to answer to with a deadline shortly after the election and now O’Keefe has his campaign office folk on video using funds for the caravan. And there’s a dozen other big problems.
He has two things going for him:
One, he’s got that Kennedy look that low IQ voters are falling for. Hmm, his mama’s stepfather was JFK’s Secretary of the Navy. Coincidence?
Two, low IQ voters still think he’s Hispanic. The other day, a black guy called into KLBJ, a popular Austin, TX radio station. He was ranting about whites being the devil so that’s why he was voting for Beto. When the hosts tried to explain Beto was white, he lost it and hung up on them.
He’s not a down home Texas cowboy even if he does throw in a “y’all” here and there in his ads. He attended a ritzy private high school in VA, went to Cambridge and worked in NYC until he realized he couldn’t make it as a small fish in a big pond. His solution was to come back to TX to be a big fish in a little pond. The size of his fish will be his undoing.
“He’s got that DUI accident that won’t go away.”
That would indeed be a problem if he was a Republican...
But he’s not - history has shown if you are a Democrat you can become “The Lion of the Senate” even though you once drove a girl into a lake and left her to drown. You can be “King Arthur of Camelot” even though you are a serial adulterer and a pill popper. You can be “The best President Ever” even though you are a serial rapist.
And, by the way, it’s not only indecency and criminality that are overlooked in the Democrat party - it’s also abject lack of experience and qualifications to be President.
I think the article is pretty much spot on; losing a Senate race in Texas will not hurt his star power in the eyes of the voters he is appealing to.
These voters are incomprehensibly shallow, and will think and feel whatever Hollywood celebrities and late night talk show hosts tell them to think and feel.
Still, I think Trump will beat him hands down in 2020, if we are fortunate enough to have him run for reelection. After the shameful way he has been treated, I would not blame Trump at all if he were to choose a better way to spend his golden years than this thankless and grinding chore for which he has selflessly volunteered.
