I can relate to the reports from your old neighborhoods.

I grew up in Milwaukee. The neighborhood I grew up in was Polish, Italian, German & Jewish. It is now 100% Hispanic.

Turnout was low; it was a special election. Cloud should win the seat in November for the full term.

Farenthold had been in the seat for less than a decade.

In a 9 person race you loss 55 to 32 and you want to claim victory you are a fool. Even if all 7 of th other candidates were left of center and splitting the left vote you still didn’t get a majority combined.

People are stupid.

Know it. Runs north from Pelham parkway.

Been out of the Bronx since 15 in 1964. So I only remember spots where family and friends live/lived. I don’t relish going in there anymore.

“Farenthold had been in the seat for less than a decade.”

Since 2010. Still too long. Just look at what he thought he could get away with! And yet, he’d still be getting re-elected if it were’t for his thinking he could get away with sticking the taxpayers with his sexual harassment litigation expenses.
Just glad the Republicans didn’t loose a seat over this a$$nhole’s behavior.

“There was no way the Democrats were going to win this seat. “

But there was no way he should have been able to get away with what he did either. The fat pr!ck!
