The dreamy Don Huffines is in the polling lead to get the GOP's nod in the Comptroller's race. That's how far right Texas voters are going. Ben Rowan has a piece that's somewhat mocking of all three candidates. When Christi Craddock is your LEAST nutbar ...
From that? This:
There is only one certainty: No matter how conservative an elected official is, there is always someone further to the right of them. Much of the grassroots right wing in Texas believe Abbott—who has signed a near-total abortion ban, a bill letting Texans carry firearms without a permit, and legislation mandating the Ten Commandments be displayed in public school classrooms—is a quisling.
Is your takeaway.
(I have long called Huffines "dreamy," because married and all, well ... you know ...)

Rethuglicans SHOULD nominate Bo French in the Railroad Commission race. He's so nutbar he'd make Wayne (Not A) Christian look sane.
Forrest Wilder has an in-depth profile of French, so nutbar that even Danny Goeb called him out — for antisemitism, the one sin that you can't commit in Texas wingnut circles, unless you're Nick Fuentes and Matt Rinaldi is protecting you. And, two years ago, the Dreamy Don pulled out of an event where he was at.
There's yet more Bo French nuttery in the Gene Wu article at the Monthly.

Trump's campaigns steal use of copyrighted songs all the time, so he should STFU when a Rethuglican, unendorsed by him, uses his image in a primary that has a Trump-endorsed candidate as well.

Nationally, Thom Hartmann goes duopoly-sheepdogging. "Shock me."
