Texas Grab ‘Em
I’m just a plainspoken Colorado criminal defense lawyer, but the way I see it…
I don’t vote in Texas, but my mother was from Texas. So I ask: Beto vs. Ted?
One man with the courage to stand up in this reddest of states for universal health care, for higher wages for teachers, for ending the separation of children from their parents at the border, for keeping alive the hope of citizenship for Dreamers. Whose courage is being noted far beyond Texas.
Another who bows and scrapes to power, so craven he abides humiliation and insult, of his own wife, of his own father. I’m surprised he hasn’t sold his children for your vote.

Pay no attention
Pay no attention
Pay no attention
Complain bitterly about what happened because you paid no attention
Go back to paying no attention
