took a look at various
regional election filings by both D's and R's in Northeast Texas and

The lingering

Even as the state continues to surge in population and
become more concentrated in key cities and suburbs, any politician would be
unwise to ignore the voices of rural Texans. Texas
Leftist believes that 2018 is the year for Texas
Democrats to leave their urban safe zones and reach out across all areas of the
state. For those brave enough to
run a true, comprehensive statewide campaign, this
dedicated community of voters provides a great place
to start.

Jobsanger apparently wants
Joe Biden to run in 2020. (Editor’s notes: 1. With #MeToo, would many

Margaret and I called him Joe "reasonable doubt" Bidden has he stated there was "reasonable doubt" about Thomas' guilt.
Pretty stupid as the issue was not putting him in jail, but putting him on the supreme court. We didn't think that there was a right to a supreme court seat enshrined in the constitution.
So far #metoo does not seem to have questioned Bidden about letting a harasser on the court.
